Based at Salalah Free Zone, Octal Petrochemicals' integrated PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and APET (amorphous polyethylene terephthalate) production plant is being built at an initial cost of $300m. Global export sales capacity is expected to reach $500m by the end of this year and net exports will reach $1.1bn with the completion of phase three.
The development of the structures for Octal Petrochemicals FZC was achieved with MBS' specialized 3D detailing software. Most buildings were a mixture of Hot Rolled and Built-up sections along with PUF sandwich panels.
"MBS is becoming a benchmark for unique structures across the region and our work for the petrochemical site of Octal is another powerful manifestation of our ability to deliver our first class products in the GCC,"
says MBS Managing Director, Bob Webster.
"This has been a challenging project for MBS, where high quality and timely delivery were essential. We deliver and support exceptional quality buildings across the region and we continue to break new boundaries," adds Mr. Webster.
MBS is a subsidiary of Emaar Industries & Investments (EII), the private joint stock company aimed at capitalising on the growth potential of the Middle East, North African and South Asian manufacturing sectors. MBS' ability to deliver projects across the region has been influenced by EII's strategic input and management support.
"All our subsidiaries are considered partners and it is particularly pleasing to see MBS gaining in strength. The region requires such advanced engineered structures that are quick to erect and provide a solution to the demand in the GCC and the subcontinent,"
says Dr. Ahmad Khayyat, CEO, EII.
