DUBAI (Zawya Dow Jones)--Dodsal Engineering and Construction, the United Arab Emirates-based contractor, has won the $490 million contract to build sulphur granulation facilities for Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. as part of its $12 billion Shah sour gas field development, a company official said Wednesday.
"We were awarded the Habshan sulphur granulation (plant) earlier this month--it was about $480 million and $10 million for maintenance; it involves a granulator and pipeline in Habshan," the Dodsal official, who declined to be named due to company policy, said.
"It will convert the liquid sulphur to granules and then these will be transported via the railway to Ruwais," the official added.
The engineering, procurement and construction contract was officially signed and awarded through Adnoc subsidiary Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd., or Gasco. Dodsal is set to start work on the project on Jan. 15, with work expected to last up to 31 months, the official said.
