MAINTENANCE STAFF MOBILISED IN LIBYA<br />
INTO <strong>THE</strong> DESERT<br />
MAN <strong>Ferrostaal</strong> takes over maintenance of the “Wafa Desert Plant” for the Libyan gas supplier ENI Gas B.V. Over a period of 23<br />
months, ThyssenKrupp Uhde and MAN <strong>Ferrostaal</strong> will maintain an oil and gas production plant, a processing plant, a compressor<br />
station and the associated pipework over a stretch of 530 km in the Sahara desert.<br />
At the start of 2006, Uhde received the order for the maintenance<br />
work to be carried out at the Libyan natural gas plant, the Wafa<br />
Desert Plant, and commissioned MAN <strong>Ferrostaal</strong> as a subcontractor<br />
to supply industrial personnel to carry out maintenance work,<br />
including repairs and modifications at the plant. In addition, MAN<br />
<strong>Ferrostaal</strong> is providing and running the entire desert camp facilities<br />
and the necessary infrastructure for both its own and Uhde’s<br />
personnel. Most of the workers were on site by the end of April. Since<br />
then, the maintenance works have been running according to plan.<br />
The order will take 23 months to complete, after which ENI Gas<br />
may decide in favour of the provisional extension option to<br />
continue the work. MAN <strong>Ferrostaal</strong> have been active in the Libyan<br />
market for 30 years, largely in the context of assembly projects,<br />
and no also for maintenance works. The company therefore has<br />
the flexibility to respond to requirements in both areas.<br />
