Jacobs wins engineering work for Solvay specialty polymers plant in China
Jacobs Engineering Group was awarded a contract from Solvay for a specialty polymers production plant to be built at Solvay's industrial site in Changshu, located in the province of Jiangsu, China.
Officials estimated the contract value to be approximatelyS$9 million (RMB 62 million).
Jacobs is executing the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) services contract from its Shanghai operations in China, it said.
Solvay is investing approximately $160 million (€120 million) into this plant, which will produce its products SOLEF PVDF and TECNOFLON FKM, as well as its VF2 monomer.
The plant is scheduled to become operational in the first quarter of 2014 and is expected to significantly boost Solvay's global production capacity for these specialty polymers, officials said.
"We look forward to contributing to this large and significant project for Solvay, drawing upon our strong, sector-relevant technical and project management skills to support the project,” said Jacobs vice president Tom Quinn.
