Featured projects

FEED & EPC for Gulf Coast Growth Venture’s 1.1 MTA Monoethylene Glycol Unit

This is by far the world’s largest modularized Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) plant, a record contributed in part by CTCI. The plant is made with processing modules, which are fabricated in various regions worldwide and then shipped to site destination in the US for assembly. One of the benefits of modularization is cutting construction time at the final site. CTCI team overcame weather and human resource challenges to deliver the project on time and with supreme quality, earning high praise from the owner. This project marks a new milestone in CTCI’s modularization capabilities and paves the way for securing major contracts in the US.

Steam Cracker EPC Package 1 for Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC)’s Liwa Plastics Industrial Complex

One of the challenges of this project is that many constructions are happening simultaneously. With superb project management capabilities, CTCI successfully integrated engineering interfaces and overcame such challenge, reaching 77 million safe man-hours record. CTCI was highly praised by the owner for its performance. This project is a testament to CTCI’s capability of carrying out billion US dollar-size EPC projects, and marks an important milestone of CTCI’s business presence in Oman.
