Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Zachry Group (San Antonio, Texas) has landed contracts for some of the biggest projects being developed in the U.S., including liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, chemical facilities and power plants. Industrial Info is tracking more than $16 billion worth of projects involving Zachry Group.
By far the biggest project in which Zachry Group is involved is Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) (ExxonMobil) (Irving, Texas) and Qatar Petroleum's (Doha, Qatar) Golden Pass LNG project in Sabine Pass, Texas. The facility eventually will consist of three production trains, each converting approximately 700 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to produce about 6 million tons per year. Golden Pass only recently increased the planned capacity of the plant. In a late May filing with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the company sought to increase production from 15.6 million tons per year to 18.1 million tons through "production efficiencies" that will not involve equipment changes or environmental permit adjustments.
Construction on the first train kicked off in 2019 and is expected to be completed in 2024. Construction on the second train is expected to kick off next year, followed by the third about a year later. Other EPC companies on the project include McDermott International Incorporated (Houston, Texas) and Chiyoda Corporation (Yokohama, Japan). For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on Train 1, Train 2 and Train 3.
Zachry Group also is involved in a number of chemical projects, among them ExxonMobil and SABIC's (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) construction of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) units at a site in Portland, Texas, near Corpus Christi. Construction on the units began last year, and they are expected to be completed in the second half of 2022. The LLDPE unit will produce an estimated 1.43 billion pounds per year, and the HDPE unit will produce 1.32 billion pounds per year. Zachry Group is working with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America Incorporated (Houston) as EPC contractor. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the LLDPE unit and HDPE unit.
Another chemical project on which Zachry is at work has been slowed due to COVID-19: LyondellBasell Industries NV's (NYSE:LYB) (Houston) construction of a propylene oxide (PO) and tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) unit at its olefins site in Channelview, Texas. About 30% of the facility had been completed when LyondellBasell decided to slow construction and limit nonessential activities. The project's completion date has shifted from first-quarter 2021 to the third quarter of that year.

In the power sector, Zachry Group is providing EPC services on the Washington Parish Energy Center, located about 60 miles north of New Orleans, Louisiana, where the company is constructing a simple-cycle peaking unit for Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) (New Orleans). The unit will have a generating capacity of 360 megawatts (MW). Construction began last year and is expected to wrap up in the first half of next year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Zachry Group also is involved in a few planned maintenance projects in the power sector. Among these is the maintenance for Duke Energy Corporation's (NYSE:DUK) (Charlotte, North Carolina) 668-MW Unit 4 at its coal-fired Gibson Generating Station in Owensville, Indiana. The project originally was planned to take place in the second quarter of this year, but the start date was moved to the fourth quarter due to COVID-19. The outage is expected to last approximately 17 days in October. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
