On Monday, Larsen & Toubro announced that the Saipem & Clough JV (SCJV), Australia, has awarded its energy hydrocarbon business a contract for the manufacture and supply of process and pipe rack modules for a 2.3 mmtpa urea plant for Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilisers. The order has a price range of Rs 1,000 crore to Rs 2,500 crore.

The facility will be built on the Burrup Peninsula in Western Australia, around 20 km north of Karratha. When complete, this cutting-edge facility will be one of the biggest in the world and Australia’s largest urea plant, according to a regulatory filing. 

According to L&T, the scope will be completed in 32 months and will include around 50,000 mt of modules. The company’s Kattupalli Modular Fabrication Facility will produce these modules. Fabricated modules will be delivered to the project site in Australia completely tested, pre-commissioned, and ready for installation.

Additionally, L&T Heavy Engineering was successful in obtaining numerous orders for the full set of urea equipment for the same project.
