Project scope
Kazazot Prime LLP has awarded Técnicas Reunidas a Project Management Consultancy contract for its ammonia and urea complex under development in Aktau, south-western Kazakhstan. The facility will also include nitric acid and ammonium nitrate production units, ancillary facilities, storage, bagging and dispatch systems.
Planned annual capacity is 660,000 tonnes of ammonia, 577,500 tonnes of urea, 395,000 tonnes of nitric acid and 500,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate. The complex is expected to become Kazakhstan’s largest combined fertilizer production facility.
Técnicas Reunidas will manage, supervise and coordinate the project through engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover, representing Kazazot Prime LLP in dealings with the main construction contractor. The contract took effect in October and will remain in force until commissioning.
Company relationship
The award follows a January 2023 contract between the parties for front-end engineering design of the same complex. It is Técnicas Reunidas’ first PMC contract in Kazakhstan.
The company says the award supports its SALTA Strategic Plan focus on service contracts. It expects to secure around €400 million in such contracts over the course of the year and targets €500 million in revenue from these activities by 2028.
