Foster Wheeler Secures Repeat Business in Singapore

Foster Wheeler Eastern Private Ltd, a subsidiary of Foster Wheeler International Corporation, has been awarded an EPC contract by Merck, Sharp & Dohme for work to be executed within MSD's existing multipurpose primary production facility located within the pharmaceutical zone at Tuas, Singapore. The contract value was not disclosed.

Under the scope of the contract, Foster Wheeler will partially fit out spare bays within the existing building that it previously designed, constructed and completed for MSD in 2002.

Because the work will be carried out while the plant is still operating, measures have been taken to isolate the work areas, and a strict permit-to-work system will be necessary. System tie-in works will be executed during preplanned shutdown operations when manufacturing activities will have ceased or are running at reduced levels.
