Jacobs Awarded EPCM Contract for PVC Plant

Jacobs Engineering has received a contract from Chemplast Sanmar Limited to provide engineering, procurement assistance, and construction management (EPCM) services for a 160,000-tons-per-annum polyvinylchloride (PVC) plant.

The total investment cost is approximately $110 million. The PVC plant will be constructed at a greenfield site at Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, in southern India and is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2008.

In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Arlan Emmert stated, "We are pleased to be associated with both Chemplast and INEOS Vinyls to execute this very challenging project. Our team is enthusiastically committed to delivering a state-of-the-art facility that will produce high-value returns for the owners."
