US-based energy infrastructure firm CB&I has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract worth more than $70 million by Petrofac Saudi Arabia.

The project scope includes the EPC of crude oil storage tanks at a grassroots refinery being constructed in Saudi Arabia, said Luke Scorsone, president of CB&I's Fabrication Services operating group.

"CB&I has provided tank and plate structure engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction services for projects in Saudi Arabia since the 1930s," he said.

"Today, we operate a world-class fabrication facility, equipment yard and project office in Saudi Arabia. This presence, along with our commitment to local clients, has led to safe, high-quality and reliable performance in Saudi Arabia over the last eight decades." – TradeArabia News Service
