Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) giant KBR Incorporated (NYSE:KBR) (Houston, Texas) is expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific region following a string of contract awards in Indonesia and Australia, largely focused on the natural gas and infrastructure markets. Industrial Info is tracking about $120 billion in global projects involving KBR, including $1.72 billion in the two neighboring countries.
In Indonesia, state-owned power-generation company PT PLN awarded KBR a contract for EPC services in an effort to expand the country's gas-supply infrastructure, according to a press release. KBR says it will "develop a reliable, efficient and robust infrastructure and logistics ecosystem for the LNG (liquefied natural gas) regasification of and gas supply to the multiple gas-fired power plants" across Indonesia.
KBR's Indonesian subsidiary already is involved in one of the country's largest LNG projects: Australasia LNG Indonesia's (Melbourne, Victoria) proposed, $468 million East Java LNG Regasification Terminal in Probolinggo. The terminal, currently in the early design phases, would store between 100,000 and 150,000 cubic meters of LNG and feature a 2.5-kilometer unloading jetty and onshore LNG regasification facilities, with a capacity of 3 million tonnes per annum. The KBR subsidiary also is involved in a smaller, $50 million micro LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Jayapura that is currently proposed to have a storage capacity of 24,000 cubic meters. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Probolinggo and Jayapura terminals.
KBR also is serving as a technology provider on one of Indonesia's largest projects under construction: PT Surya Esa Perkasa's (Jakarta) $830 million ammonia plant in Banggai. The project, which is expected to be completed toward the middle of the year, is expected to produce 700,000 metric tonnes per year of ammonia, which will be used in the production of fertilizer and ammonium nitrate, the latter for making explosives. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In Australia, KBR will hop aboard Level Crossing Removal Authority's (Melbourne, Victoria) $361.5 million extension of the Mernda Rail system in Melbourne, Victoria, which is part of a broader, AU$600 million rail extension effort. According to KBR, participants plan to construct 8 kilometers of dual rail line, three new stations, three rail bridges, two road underpasses and additional parking facilities. John Holland Group (Melbourne) is the leading design-build firm on the project. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Industrial Info also is tracking KBR's work on two rail-replacement projects, each valued at $188 million, in and around Melbourne. Both are under construction and are part of a broader, $2.4 billion effort to remove 50 dangerous and congested level crossings to improve safety for drivers and pedestrians in metropolitan Melbourne. They also include the redesign and redevelopment of the Gardiner and Bentleigh train stations. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Gardiner and Bentleigh overhauls.
KBR also was awarded contracts to upgrade water infrastructure at a Navy base in Western Australia, and to provide marine and maritime structural engineering services to another Navy base in Northern Territory.
"These latest awards build on KBR's strong portfolio of Australian infrastructure projects, which has seen continued growth in 2016, reflecting our long-term commitment to providing differentiated professional services to customers in the Asia-Pacific region," said Greg Conlon, the president of KBR's Asia-Pacific business, in a press release.
