Muscat: Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Oman has won an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract worth $63.58 million from Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industrial Company (Orpic) for building a pet coke handling and storage project.

"The scope covers design, engineering, procurement, supply, construction erection, installation and commissioning of the petroleum coke handling and storage facility at Sohar, Oman," Larsen & Toubro said in a statement.

India-based Larsen & Toubro, which partly owns L&T Oman, secured an EPC order from the world's largest integrated producer of zinc for the construction of a 1.5 million tonnes per annum lead-zinc ore beneficiation plant at the Sindesar Khurd mines in Rajasthan, which also involves EPC, installation and commissioning of the plant.

Besides these, the global infra giant also acquired power transmission and distribution projects orders worth Rs5,150 million in both the international and domestic markets.

L&T Saudi Arabia, a fully owned subsidiary of L&T India, has bagged an order valued at $56.6 million for the construction of two 115 kV substations at the Dammam area from National Grid, Saudi Arabia, a subsidiary of Saudi Electricity Company.
