Bechtel Corp. and Linde AG have announced that they will work together to expand and build ethylene cracker plants in North America. The combination of Bechtel’s engineering, procurement, and direct-hire construction capabilities and Linde’s proven ethylene technology provides customers a complete EPC/Technology provider. The alliance builds on the companies’ previous work together at the Borouge petrochemicals complex in theUAE.
Together, they performed engineering, procurement, construction, and start-up for the ethylene plant, off-site facilities, and utilities at the complex, which was successfully completed on schedule in February 2002. The Bechtel-Linde team will serve the North American market from Bechtel’s offices in Houston, Texas.
