CHAIRMAN’S<br />
STATEMENT<br />
Dear Shareholders,<br />
2008 was a year of significant change for Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>. The merger<br />
of Maire Engineering into <strong>Tecnimont</strong> and consequent creation of a<br />
single operating company achieved the goal of pooling the two<br />
companies' resources and expertise, thereby creating a single, unified<br />
platform for EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects.<br />
The new business model will allow the Group to manage increasingly<br />
large projects, while extending our flexibility and efficiency so as to<br />
take maximum advantage of new opportunities.<br />
2008 was a record year<br />
in terms of results.<br />
As an indicator of the Group’s increased capacity, revenues grew by<br />
24% to ¤2,463 million. Ebitda amounted to ¤187 million, up 29%,<br />
while Ebitda margins improved from 7.3% in 2007 to 7.6% in 2008.<br />
Net Group income rose by 60% compared with the previous year to<br />
reach ¤117 million.<br />
The Group completed several important contracts, particularly in the<br />
Middle East, in 2008, confirming its ability to realize large-scale<br />
projects on time and within budget. The Rabigh, Tasnee and Sahara<br />
plants in Saudi Arabia were among the most important plants<br />
delivered. As a result of new projects awarded during 2008, the Group<br />
increased its backlog to ¤4,534 million at the year-end, despite the<br />
significant growth in revenues. The Power sector enjoyed the greatest<br />
increase in new orders, thanks in particular to orders from Latin<br />
America totalling approximately ¤1,515 million. The Oil & Gas sector<br />
was also awarded several important projects.<br />
2 3
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has confirmed<br />
its ability to work and deliver<br />
projects successfully in<br />
a wide variety of international markets,<br />
even under difficult conditions.<br />
Despite the difficult state of the world economy, the Group boasts<br />
a year-end 2008 backlog of almost two times revenues, which<br />
allows it to look with confidence towards the future. The Group has<br />
reviewed its strategic development guidelines for the coming three<br />
years and has formulated a new 2009-2011 strategic plan. This<br />
takes into account the generally negative economic forecasts but<br />
also new opportunities such as those arising from government<br />
policies to improve Italian infrastructure. The plan first sets out<br />
general strategic guidelines, which are then delineated as<br />
initiatives for business units across the Group and for individual<br />
business units.<br />
To reach the goals outlined,<br />
we must maintain<br />
the highest performance<br />
standards.<br />
As it optimises its multi-business model and leverages on its<br />
common EPC platform, the Group will consolidate and expand its<br />
geographical presence, diversify sectors of activity and, last but<br />
not least, improve the efficiency of its operations.<br />
I trust that the excellent results achieved in 2008 will be<br />
appreciated by all our shareholders and stakeholders as<br />
confirmation of the Group’s operational skills and our desire to<br />
continue growth which will benefit clients, employees and<br />
investors in the years to come.<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />
The Chairman<br />
Fabrizio Di Amato<br />

HISTORY AND PROFILE<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is a leading Engineering and Construction Group<br />
operating worldwide in the Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Oil & Gas,<br />
Power, Infrastructure and Civil Engineering sectors. The Group’s<br />
reputation and success have been achieved because of its strong<br />
technology orientation and advanced skills in Project Management,<br />
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services for the<br />
implementation of complex projects worldwide. It has developed and<br />
demonstrated major expertise in managing large EPC projects on a<br />
turnkey basis in different countries and regions. The Group combines<br />
high quality and planning standards with a focus on multicultural and<br />
environmental issues. Present in four continents and 24 countries, the<br />
Group has 37 operating subsidiaries and approximately 4,300<br />
employees, more than half of whom are outside Italy.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s roots lie in two important Italian engineering<br />
groups: Fiat Engineering (later to become Maire Engineering),<br />
acquired in February 2004, and <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, acquired in October 2005.<br />
The origins of Fiat Engineering date back to the 1930s, when the<br />
construction and plant division of the Fiat group began designing<br />
and developing automobile plants. During the twentieth century,<br />
Fiat’s engineering department supported the expansion of its<br />
parent group by developing plants and sales offices in Italy and<br />
abroad. In this period, it evolved excellent skills in cogeneration<br />
and combined cycle plants in Italy and abroad, notably the Middle<br />
East and Latin America. It also developed specialist expertise in<br />
infrastructure, such as the design of high-speed railway lines<br />
(Turin-Milan and Florence-Bologna) and innovative underground<br />
railway systems. The acquisition of Fiat Engineering by the Maire<br />
Group was finalized in February 2004 by the formation of Maire<br />
Engineering. Founded in Rome at the beginning of the 1980s, the<br />
Maire Group was originally active in civil and industrial<br />
engineering and maintenance, and progressively expanded into<br />
infrastructure and major civil projects. Following the acquisition<br />
of Fiat Engineering, it became one of the main national players in<br />
general contracting.<br />
9
The challenges posed by the international market, however, led the<br />
Group to take a further ambitious step: the acquisition of <strong>Tecnimont</strong>,<br />
a leading and long-established company serving the international<br />
petrochemical industry, from the Edison Group in 2005.<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> was founded by the Montedison Group in 1973 to<br />
combine the specialist skills of the engineering and development<br />
divisions of Montecatini and Edison, two great names of Italian<br />
industrial history. The first inherited the legacy of Giulio Natta,<br />
the Nobel prize-winner for chemistry in 1964, and specialized in<br />
building polyolefin plants. The second had been active in<br />
electricity generation since the late nineteenth century.<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> and its predecessors have now been designing and<br />
constructing plants for the chemicals and petrochemicals, oil & gas,<br />
and electricity sectors in Italy and abroad for more than fifty<br />
years. During this period, the Company established a presence in<br />
many developing areas that have now risen to prominence in the<br />
world market, from the Middle East to India, Latin America,<br />
Russia and China, establishing a successful track record in the<br />
execution of turnkey engineering, procurement and construction<br />
projects. The acquisition of <strong>Tecnimont</strong> by Maire, which gave birth<br />
to Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, was ranked as the second most important<br />
merger in Italy in 2005 (KPMG M&A Award 2006).<br />
After the acquisition of Fiat Engineering and <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, the Group<br />
faced the difficult challenge of merging very diverse business<br />
cultures. New business strategies were implemented to achieve<br />
greater competitiveness in international markets. From small<br />
satellite operations of great industrial galaxies, the activities of<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> and Maire Engineering became the core business of the<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> Group. Today, the Group operates from a<br />
common IT platform that provides for the sharing of common tools<br />
and procedures and promotes greater flexibility for personnel. The<br />
Group operates as an integrated global engineering system and<br />
manages complex projects throughout the world, leveraging on<br />
skilled professional employees from many different cultures. The<br />
main operating centres are in Milan, Paris, Turin, Rome,<br />
Salzgitter, Mumbai, Belo Horizonte, and Brindisi.<br />
In 2008 the network was further enhanced by the acquisition of Bergamo-based Noy Engineering,<br />
an Italian company specializing in the design and supply of PET resin and polyester, nylon and<br />
acrylic fibre plants. The Group was thus able to further broaden its technology portfolio.<br />
In early 2007 Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> decided to seek a listing on the stock exchange in order to increase<br />
its international visibility and widen its ownership base. 26 November 2007 was the first day of<br />
trading on the Milan Bourse. The Company was awarded the ‘Value Creators’ prize by MF Company<br />
Awards in 2007.<br />
Over the years, the Group has successfully seized many major opportunities that have arisen in the<br />
Engineering and Construction (E&C) industry. One key factor during the entire acquisition process<br />
has been Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s strategy of increasing the value of its newly acquired companies by<br />
promoting higher levels of efficiency and by introducing significant changes to the Group structure.<br />
That is why in September 2008 Maire Engineering was merged into the new single operating<br />
company, <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, with the aim of realising businesses synergies, achieving maximum<br />
efficiencies, developing the Group’s expertise, and optimizing Company operations, processes and<br />
commercial activities.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> now occupies one of the leading positions in the ranks of Italian and international<br />
engineering and construction companies, and is recognized as the leading independent Italian<br />
contractor to the oil & gas industry.<br />

Zero Incident Target<br />
PEOPLE<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> confirmed and consolidated its record safety<br />
performance in 2008, thanks to its Integrated Environment, Health<br />
and Safety Management System. This led to a further improvement<br />
in performance, even against the background of a major<br />
organizational change involving the integration of Maire Engineering<br />
and <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, the two main operating companies of the Group.<br />
Despite the complexity of the Group’s activities and the year’s<br />
organizational changes, our safety performance continued to exceed<br />
national and international norms. This demonstrates that the growth<br />
in our business has not undermined our attention to safety. Maire<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s record of workplace accidents in non-Italian sites, which<br />
is clearly superior to the industry average, confirms the Group’s<br />
excellent performance. In the table A, we outline the 2008 data<br />
expressed in the most common international indicators:<br />
a) LTI - Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate;<br />
b) RIR - Recordable Incident Rate.<br />
These indicators are computed and monitored according to US<br />
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations,<br />
reflecting common international practice, and are shown compared<br />
with the average performance of the Oil & Gas and International<br />
Industrial Construction sectors.<br />
The table B shows the Injury Frequency and Severity Indexes<br />
(according to UNI 7249 standards) on Italian sites managed by the<br />
Group directly or in joint ventures/consortia in 2008, compared with<br />
the benchmarks established by the Italian National Institute for<br />
Work Incidents (INAIL).<br />

Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> HSE System<br />
HSE objectives, targets and programmes are part of the Maire<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> business vision. The HSE policy takes into account specific<br />
national rules, HSE Management System principles and structures,<br />
applicable international standards, client requirements, and so on.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> establishes, documents, implements, maintains<br />
and continually improves a tailored HSE management system in<br />
accordance with ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 standards.<br />
The Group’s top management establishes the HSE policy, which is<br />
implemented by all personnel, and, through a periodical review of<br />
the HSE Management System, monitors the suitability of HSE policy<br />
to evolving business conditions. By adopting this policy, Maire<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> is committed to:<br />
identify the health, safety and environmental impacts arising<br />
from past, present or planned business activities;<br />
identify applicable legal and other requirements to which Maire<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> is bound (including national and international laws,<br />
local requirements, agreements with local authorities or<br />
customers, voluntary principles or codes of practice);<br />
set appropriate HSE priorities and targets;<br />
establish organizational structures and programmes to<br />
successfully achieve these objectives and targets;<br />
implement control, monitoring, preventive and corrective actions,<br />
and audit and review activities so as to ensure good functioning of<br />
the HSE Management System;<br />
ensure flexibility in adapting to changing circumstances and new<br />
cultural behaviours.<br />
Objectives, targets and programmes are summarized in the HSE<br />
improvement plan issued under the responsibility of the Group’s<br />
top management. The HSE system is supported by internal<br />
procedures which are structured on different hierarchical levels<br />
and tailored to specific operating needs, activities and organizational<br />
factors. The system also defines the requirements for each location<br />
and provides for the keeping of relevant records. This allows the<br />
Group to monitor HSE objectives and targets, to evaluate possible<br />
deviations and to implement remedial action. Regular HSE<br />
monitoring of sub-contractors is also of crucial importance.<br />
22 23
The HSE Management System defines the duties and responsibilities<br />
of key personnel involved in the system. Each Head of Department<br />
reports periodically to the Quality & HSE Department on the status<br />
and performance of his or her department with regard to HSE issues.<br />
The Quality & HSE Department periodically updates the HSE<br />
Management System through collaboration with relevant business<br />
associations, universities, and national and international authorities.<br />
It also develops an internal audit programme to verify conformity to<br />
requirements and correct implementation. The audits are conducted<br />
by independent personnel in order to ensure the objectivity and<br />
impartiality of the audit process. Top management is kept constantly<br />
informed about audit results and regularly reviews the performance<br />
of the HSE Management System in order to ensure its continuing<br />
effectiveness and improvement.<br />
Developing Human Resources and Cultural Sensitivity<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> considers human resources to be its main asset.<br />
The loyalty, professionalism and passion of our employees are the<br />
most important corporate success factors. This vision is reflected in<br />
the human resources activities and initiatives developed in the last<br />
few years with the aim of reinforcing our employees’ sense of<br />
affiliation and Company spirit.<br />
In 2008, human resources management and development were<br />
focused on strengthening the Power and Oil & Gas business units,<br />
while the Chemicals & Petrochemicals and Infrastructure and Civil<br />
Engineering units were provided with the means to improve their<br />
effectiveness. The HR Department is committed to fully supporting<br />
business growth through a selective hiring policy aimed at<br />
balancing strong expertise with the energy and skills of youth.<br />
A large number of new graduates in technical disciplines were<br />
hired, especially from engineering schools. This was facilitated by<br />
the long-standing close relationships between Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong><br />
and the main Italian universities. In particular, the Group is in<br />
constant cooperation with the Milan and Turin Polytechnics to<br />
provide internships and on-the-job project works, joint seminars<br />
and workshops, research programmes on matters of common<br />
interest, and recruitment events.<br />
Growth in human capital has been based on two main guidelines:<br />
(i) an increase in the number of personnel, and (ii) the<br />
development of professional competences and management<br />
skills. Thanks to a strong attraction and retention policy, the<br />
number of Group employees grew from 2,952 in 2006 to 4,272 at<br />
the end of 2008, of whom 52% were university graduates or the<br />
equivalent. As an international company with a global workforce,<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> encourages the mobility of its employees in<br />
order to develop their professional growth and loyalty. In order to<br />
support new foreign employees, especially those from India, the<br />
Group has implemented an expatriate assistance programme that<br />
includes the handling of all immigration procedures and similar<br />
issues and the provision of economic support for employees and<br />
their families.<br />
The professional skills of the Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> workforce have been<br />
developed through training initiatives focusing on project<br />
management, performance monitoring, careful assessment of the<br />
skills and capabilities of the Group’s managers and professionals,<br />
and the fostering of the foreign language skills that are needed in<br />
the increasing internationalization of the business.<br />
Training initiatives have been directed at all Group companies and<br />
employees, with the aim of fostering integration and networking,<br />
the promotion of a common value-based culture and the exchange<br />
of workplace experiences. These objectives are especially important<br />
since a large number of employees hired in the last three years<br />
comes from an international background - 645 from India and 52<br />
from South America, compared with 664 from Italy.<br />
As further evidence of the importance of the human factor in our<br />
success, it is worth mentioning the strong commitment of the teams<br />
involved in redesigning the organization following the merger of<br />
Maire Engineering into <strong>Tecnimont</strong>. These teams played a<br />
fundamental role in developing synergies among business lines<br />
through the sharing of know-how and the mutual exchange of<br />
experiences and expertise throughout the Group.<br />
24 25
Quality Policy and Quality Management System<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has implemented a tailored Quality Management<br />
System (QMS) in accordance with ISO 9001:2000 standard to develop<br />
policies and objectives which take into account specific customer<br />
needs and a general requirement to continually improve quality<br />
performance. An action plan concerning a new version of the<br />
standard (ISO 9001:2008) is currently being implemented and<br />
should be completed by the end of 2009. The general objectives of<br />
the quality policy are the following:<br />
understanding and meeting customer needs;<br />
fulfilment of contract obligations and meeting technical and<br />
economic requirements;<br />
compliance with statutory and regulatory obligations (standards<br />
and codes in force in the country of destination).<br />
The quality policy is communicated to Company personnel through<br />
the Quality Manual and corporate intranet and is also displayed at<br />
prominent locations in Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s offices. Every employee<br />
and each department carries the responsibility of achieving its<br />
objectives through accurate document control, equipment<br />
supervision, monitoring of construction, and handover activities.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> top management strives continually to improve the<br />
effectiveness of the Quality Management System through a periodic<br />
review of results, remedial action in the case of deviations, and<br />
organizational changes that could affect the QMS itself. The review of the QMS<br />
is carried out by analysing the QMS Report, which consists mainly of feedback<br />
from customers, coupled with audit results, process performance, and product<br />
conformity analyses.<br />
The QHSE Vice-President is the management representative with responsibility<br />
for Quality. The basic references of Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> Group’s QMS<br />
documentation are the Code of Ethics and the Organizational and Management<br />
Models (according to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001). Other relevant<br />
documentation includes the Quality Manual and Quality Policy, Organizational<br />
Procedures, and Work Instructions. The QHSE Department establishes and<br />
maintains an internal audit programme to verify conformity, effectiveness,<br />
results and possible improvements to QMS. During 2008, 26 system audits to<br />
departments and 95 project audits were performed. The audits are conducted<br />
by qualified internal personnel, independent of the area being examined. In<br />
addition, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> auditors carry out external audit activities on<br />
vendors and subcontractors during the qualification, manufacturing/service<br />
provision and construction phases.<br />
The <strong>Tecnimont</strong> Quality Management System’s compliance with ISO 9001 was<br />
certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) in a certificate reissued on February 4,<br />
2007. Yearly re-assessment audits have been performed with positive results<br />
since then. <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s certification dates back to 1995. Services covered by<br />
the certificate include: project management, basic and detailed engineering,<br />
procurement, construction and installation management and turnkey supply of<br />
industrial plants (in particular relevant to chemicals and petrochemicals, oil<br />
and gas, and power) and infrastructures.<br />

RESEARCH,<br />
TECHNOLOGY AND<br />
INNOVATION<br />
World-Scale Engineering and Contracting Based on<br />
High Technology<br />
The world-class references and reputation won by Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong><br />
in executing large complex projects over several decades are due to<br />
the Group’s strong technology orientation. Success in all our sectors<br />
- Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Oil & Gas, Power, Infrastructure<br />
and Civil Engineering – is closely linked to high added value<br />
technological expertise.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s historical roots, going back to the engineering<br />
skills developed by Montecatini, Edison, and Fiat in the early years<br />
of twentieth century, have created a culture of technological<br />
innovation in the Company. This has allowed it to consolidate a<br />
leading position in polyolefin technologies, based on the pioneering<br />
work of Nobel Prize winner Giulio Natta in the 1950s, and, at the<br />
same time, to introduce new processes in the chemicals,<br />
petrochemicals and oil & gas sectors, and to diversify into power<br />
and infrastructure engineering.<br />
This innovatory spirit is now an important driver for all the Group’s<br />
business lines. In recognition of our technological expertise,<br />
technology licensors regularly entrust us to perform studies<br />
(feasibility studies, plant optimization, value engineering, etc.) to<br />
support their process development activities.<br />
Finally, the key to implementing technology innovations<br />
successfully and to making them applicable to large industrial<br />
complexes is advanced project management expertise - the proven<br />
capability to manage large international projects. Project<br />
management skills are crucial in realizing not only EPC plants but<br />
every large project that involves technical complexity, limited<br />
resources, and a stringent time schedule. To initiate, develop and<br />
complete the whole EPC project life-cycle, especially under difficult<br />
geographical and cultural conditions, is to deal with major<br />
organizational challenges in which planning, coordination and<br />
monitoring are the day-to-day essentials. To execute a project is to<br />
create a mosaic of hundreds of parts that have to fit together.<br />
Engineers, vendors, sub-contractors, thousands of on-site workers,<br />
28 29
client representatives, financing partners, consortium partners,<br />
local and international institutions: all these different players have<br />
to be coordinated as if in a symphony orchestra, with the project<br />
manager acting as conductor. For a leading international<br />
engineering contractor such as Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, first-in-class<br />
project management skills are just as important as technological<br />
expertise and a spirit of innovation for its business success.<br />
An International Network of Engineering Excellence<br />
Milan is the headquarters of <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, employing over 1,050<br />
professionals. It represents a world-class patrimony of engineering<br />
expertise, technological and process innovation and project<br />
management skills, and plays a leading role in engineering,<br />
procurement and construction (EPC) projects in the chemicals,<br />
petrochemicals and oil & gas industries. Thanks to a global IT<br />
platform, the Milan headquarters also coordinates the activities of<br />
the Group’s worldwide network of subsidiaries, branch and<br />
representative offices.<br />
Headquartered in Mumbai, the wholly owned subsidiary <strong>Tecnimont</strong><br />
<strong>ICB</strong> Pvt Ltd (T<strong>ICB</strong>) is one of the few Indian engineering and<br />
construction companies with experience in executing worldwide<br />
lump-sum turnkey projects. It also provides multi-disciplinary<br />
engineering services to the entire spectrum of Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s<br />
business lines. With over 1,800 highly qualified and experienced<br />
specialists and a capacity of almost three million engineering manhours/year,<br />
T<strong>ICB</strong> has worked on more than 350 reference projects.<br />
T<strong>ICB</strong>’s Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) Construction Division is<br />
an important asset for the entire Group in successfully delivery of<br />
turnkey projects, because of its expertise in procurement, field<br />
engineering installation, testing/calibration and commissioning.<br />
Salzgitter is the headquarters of the German subsidiary <strong>Tecnimont</strong><br />
Planung und Industrieanlagenbau GmbH (TPI). The company,<br />
wholly owned by <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, specializes in the design of LDPE<br />
plants, based on High Pressure Tubular Reactor technology. TPI<br />
employs about 50 engineers, 90% of whom are university and<br />
technical college graduates. TPI’s deep technological experience<br />
makes Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> a member of the exclusive worldwide club<br />
of engineering companies with a good reputation in the design of<br />
high pressure units.<br />
Sofregaz, based in Paris, is among the key players worldwide in the<br />
design and construction of LNG receiving terminals, with<br />
capabilities ranging from feasibility studies to complete project<br />
development and implementation. Sofregaz has about 130<br />
employees and has completed over 800 projects in 50 countries<br />
covering the whole natural gas chain - field gathering, treatment,<br />
transport, underground storage, liquefaction, and regasification.<br />
The Turin engineering centre dates back to the 1930s, when it was<br />
the Construction and Plant Division of Fiat. Decades of experience<br />
have given it unparalleled expertise in the design and construction<br />
of complex civil/industrial buildings and transportation<br />
infrastructure, specifically high-speed railways and mass<br />
transportation systems, in Italy and abroad. The Turin centre, which<br />
has about 450 staff, also has considerable expertise and numerous<br />
references in the power sector - coal-fired power plants, gas<br />
turbine combined cycles (GTCC), and hydroelectricity generating<br />
units.<br />
The Rome centre, which employs about 150 people, specializes, in<br />
close cooperation with the Turin centre, in underground and aboveground<br />
railway systems. It also offers facility management, real<br />
estate and project financing services.<br />
Over the last 20 years the Brindisi engineering centre has played a<br />
major role in the development and industrial-scale implementation<br />
of new polyolefins technologies. The centre, which has about 70<br />
staff, has developed specific know-how in LyondellBasell’s<br />
Spherizone polypropylene (PP) technology worldwide.<br />
Noy Engineering, based in Bergamo, has 25 employees. It has been<br />
active since the 1980s in the design and construction of plants for<br />
the chemicals, textiles, energy and environmental sectors, working<br />
mainly with proprietary technologies. Acquired by Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong><br />
in 2008, it enriched the Group’s portfolio by adding polyethylene<br />
terephthalate (PET) resin and polyester, nylon 6, nylon 6.6, and<br />
acrylic fibres know-how and technology.<br />
30 31
The Belo Horizonte engineering centre, with more than 50<br />
employees, is the Brazilian headquarters of the Group, specializing<br />
in the design and construction of infrastructure, power plants and<br />
civil/industrial buildings. It is supported by the Group’s other<br />
Brazilian office in São Paulo, which has 30 employees. The latter<br />
has inherited <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s expertise and references in the<br />
chemicals, petrochemicals and oil & gas sectors.<br />
The World of Chemicals & Petrochemicals:<br />
Deep Knowledge and Client Confidence<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has designed and built a large number of chemical<br />
and petrochemical plants, mainly for polyethylene, polypropylene,<br />
ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, purified terephthalic acid (PTA),<br />
ammonia and fertilizers. The Group offers a wide range of<br />
competences from feasibility studies to front-end engineering<br />
design (FEED), technology selection and project implementation on<br />
a lump-sum turnkey basis.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s know-how in polyolefins (polypropylene and<br />
polyethylene) is outstanding. Not only is the Group included in the<br />
shortlist of preferred engineering contractors for many patented<br />
technologies, but in many cases we develop the process design<br />
package (PDP) for the licensor itself. The PDP is the know-how<br />
documentation delivered by the technology provider to the<br />
contractor. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s internal guidelines and systems for<br />
the proper handling and management of proprietary information<br />
mean that we can, and do, work with competing processes and still<br />
protect confidentiality of information. Expertise in various<br />
technologies is of the utmost importance in creating client<br />
confidence that the Group is the right partner from technology<br />
selection to plant start-up.<br />
Towards the Future of Energy:<br />
Power Technology and Renewables<br />
Following the acquisition in 2001 of Fiat Avio Power Division, with its<br />
special know-how in power plants and state-of-the-art gas<br />
turbines, the Group has developed a significant track-record in<br />
designing and building some of the most advanced power projects<br />
in Italy and abroad. These include simple-cycle and combined-cycle<br />
gas-fired plants, coal-fired power stations, cogeneration,<br />
repowering, electricity and energy distribution systems for civil and<br />
industrial use, and district heating systems.<br />
Based on its experience in combined-cycle power plants – used for<br />
both electric power production and cogeneration of power and heat<br />
- Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has developed specific expertise in the automatic<br />
control of power output and start-up and shutdown procedures.<br />
This allows a power plant to operate with a very high flexibility at<br />
times of fluctuating demand.<br />
Besides traditional power plants, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> also offers<br />
significant expertise in hydropower, which it developed in South<br />
America. Our interest is also progressively focusing on the<br />
promising renewables (or green) market, in particular on electricity<br />
generation using concentrating solar power or biomass. In these<br />
technologies, solar radiation is captured or solid biomass (e.g.<br />
wood) is burnt in the first, innovative section of the plant. The heat<br />
produced is captured by a heat-transfer fluid and used in the<br />
second, traditional section of the plant to raise steam that drives an<br />
electricity-generating turbine. The Group’s biomass technology is<br />
being implemented in the Olevano Lomellina pilot plant (see<br />
Chapter 9 on ongoing power projects).<br />
Research and Development on New-Concept Nuclear<br />
Power Plants<br />
Leveraging on its strong track record, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is pursuing<br />
a forceful strategy to develop skills and competences in nuclear<br />
power plants, in order to reinforce and diversify its presence in<br />
electricity generation.<br />
The future for new-concept nuclear plants looks bright in a number<br />
of countries, driven by increasing energy consumption, the search<br />
for a balanced energy supply, and the need to reduce CO 2<br />
emissions 1. In 2008 Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> joined an international<br />
research team led by Westinghouse Electric Co. developing the IRIS<br />
(International Reactor Innovative and Secure) 335 MW light-water<br />
reactor.<br />
Many smaller and developing countries are seriously considering the<br />
nuclear option, but are faced with a number of local conditions: a small<br />
electric grid, limited financial resources, no nuclear experience, and<br />
1 According to international data, 40% of CO2 emissions currently come from electricity production.<br />
32 33
poor infrastructure. That is why large nuclear power stations, as<br />
currently planned in countries with an established nuclear industry, do<br />
not respond to their needs. By contrast, smaller reactors are being<br />
developed for countries considering nuclear energy for the first time.<br />
IRIS should provide unique benefits to small countries, but is also an<br />
attractive option for larger developed nations.<br />
The IRIS consortium, consisting of 19 organizations from nine<br />
countries, includes industrial companies, research laboratories,<br />
government organizations, universities and power producers. The IRIS<br />
design philosophy is represented by three words: simplicity, economy,<br />
and safety. In addition to electricity production, IRIS is designed for<br />
co-generation, district heating and biofuels production using<br />
low-pressure steam, and can also be coupled with a desalination plant<br />
to produce fresh or potable water.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s involvement relates to the so-called Balance of<br />
Plant (BOP) of the reactor. IRIS’s main features include its very small<br />
emergency planning zone and its simpler, cheaper design, which<br />
compensates for lower economies of scale. Furthermore, there can be<br />
financial advantages in installing several small reactors of the IRIS<br />
type instead of one big reactor of similar capacity - the so-called<br />
economy of multiples. The Design Certification Review should be<br />
completed in the next three years and the first reactor built by 2017.<br />
High Technology in the Natural Gas Chain<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> Group, through its Paris-based subsidiary Sofregaz,<br />
is a recognised worldwide player in the natural gas market. Sofregaz<br />
provides specialist services covering the full chain from field<br />
gathering, treatment, transportation and underground storage to<br />
liquefaction and regasification. Sofregaz has developed expertise to<br />
provide the best technological solutions to clients’ demands. Its<br />
portfolio includes a unique design capability for LNG regasification<br />
equipment, including boil-off gas recondensers, patented<br />
technologies for gas dehydration and air cooling of gas turbines.<br />
Sofregaz is currently working on a number of projects worldwide,<br />
including a syngas purification unit, a biomass-to-liquid (BTL) unit,<br />
CO 2 capture, and the recovery of gas that is currently flared.<br />

New Technology to Combat the Greenhouse Effect:<br />
Carbon Capture and Storage<br />
Climate change and energy demand are the two major challenges of<br />
the future. It is widely recognised that fossil fuels will continue to<br />
play a central role in world energy supply, which will inevitably lead<br />
to an increase in global CO 2 emissions. According to the<br />
International Energy Agency, approximately 69% of world CO 2 and<br />
60% of greenhouse gas emissions are related to energy. CO 2 is<br />
therefore considered to be one of the main enemies of global<br />
sustainability. Without policy changes, CO 2 emissions are predicted<br />
to rise by 130% by 2050. Carbon capture and storage, which can be<br />
applied to fossil fuel power plants and industrial processes, is one<br />
of the most promising technologies for mitigating this trend.<br />
Through its subsidiaries T<strong>ICB</strong> and Sofregaz, 2 Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is<br />
becoming a key player in this promising market. As preferred<br />
contractor of one of the major licensors, it has built several plants<br />
in which CO 2 is recovered from flue gases and used to boost oil and<br />
gas extraction, or to increase the output of existing urea plants. This<br />
technology, now applied mostly to small-scale plants, could become<br />
a potentially huge market if applied to major power stations. In<br />
2008, for example, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> was awarded a contract for the frontend<br />
engineering design of a CO 2 capture plant to be installed at the<br />
gas-fired power station in Karsto, Norway. This will be the world’s<br />
largest application of this technology. Similar designs and studies<br />
are being carried out for important clients in the Middle East.<br />
2 Sofregaz is member of the Club CO2, formed in 2002 on the initiative of ADEME (Agence de l’Environnement<br />
et de la Maitrise de l’Energie) with the support of IFP (Institut Français du Pétrole) and BRGM (Bureau de<br />
Recherches Géologiques et Minières). It represents a key element in the organization of French research<br />
into CO 2 capture and storage.
Advanced Technological Innovation in<br />
Transportation Systems<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> plays a major role in the design and construction<br />
of transport systems, including railways, and in particular Italian<br />
high-speed lines, underground railways, highways, motorways<br />
and tunnels. The Company provides a combination of hightechnology<br />
and environmentally sustainable mass transportation<br />
systems, with a full set of services ranging from environmental<br />
impact assessments and other permitting activities to the<br />
efficient management and coordination of specialist expertise.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is committed to technological innovation in<br />
Transportation System Infrastructure. The Group applies the<br />
most advanced telecommunication and information technology<br />
network systems to this sector, which leads to enhanced levels of<br />
efficiency and passenger safety.<br />
In 2001 the <strong>Tecnimont</strong> engineering department developed the<br />
Communications Network for an Integrated Urban Transport<br />
System, which was subsequently installed on the Turin automatic<br />
subway. It consists of a fibre optics network using TCP/IP over<br />
Ethernet to convey data, voice, high-quality audio and digital video<br />
signals from underground stations to the control centre. It can<br />
generally be used in any technologically advanced urban<br />
transport system and represents the best telecommunications<br />
solution in terms of flexibility, cost, and protocol and coding<br />
algorithms standardization.<br />
The Group is constantly searching for the most suitable partners and<br />

CHEMICALS &<br />
PETROCHEMICALS<br />
2008 will be remembered as a peak year for engineering and<br />
construction in the cycle that started in 2005. The first six months<br />
saw the completion of several large-scale projects, mainly in the<br />
Middle East and Asia, which contributed to a significant growth in<br />
world production capacity. The increasing oversupply was then<br />
compounded by a downturn in the world economic cycle. Several<br />
leading chemical producers found themselves in financial<br />
difficulties. In a few cases, restructuring plans were announced and<br />
new investments postponed. Even companies that were less<br />
severely affected have delayed their investments in order to benefit<br />
from the expected reduction in material costs.<br />
Current expectations in the industry are for a period of<br />
consolidation. However, the longer-term outlook indicates that<br />
production will continue to migrate from areas such as North<br />
America and Europe towards the Middle East and Asia, which have<br />
lower production costs. Despite the economic difficulties, Maire<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> has maintained its market share and leadership position<br />
in polyolefins, and we continue to see interesting new opportunities,<br />
particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.<br />
The Group has also started to diversify into new business areas and<br />
new markets. We have formed strategic alliances with important<br />
technology providers in fertilizers, synthetic rubber/elastomers and<br />
aromatics derivatives. In addition, new joint ventures with local<br />
partners will facilitate access to the North African market, where<br />
significant investments are planned in coming years.<br />
40 41
Middle East and Mediterranean Area:<br />
Consolidated Leadership and New Opportunities<br />
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is the world’s most<br />
influential oil and gas region, accounting for two-thirds of the world’s<br />
proven oil and about 45% of its proven natural gas reserves. Thanks to<br />
new discoveries and the introduction of advanced exploration and<br />
production techniques, the region's oil wealth has grown solidly for the<br />
past two decades. The GCC countries have traditionally been the main<br />
players in the region, but North African countries have grown in<br />
prominence recently. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been active in MENA since<br />
the investment boom of the eighties. The Group’s presence has<br />
increased significantly in the last few years and we have become a<br />
leading engineering and construction player, especially in the<br />
petrochemicals sector. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has won contracts worth<br />
more than US$4.5 billion in the investment boom in Saudi Arabia, the<br />
United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. In 2008 Engineering<br />
News-Record, the leading US journal for the E&C industry, ranked the<br />
Group as the 10th largest engineering contractor in the Middle East.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has also grown in stature and reputation in Egypt,<br />
Libya, and other North African countries.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is present in MENA with branch and representative<br />
offices in Abu Dhabi (UAE), Kuwait, Qatar, Tehran (Iran), Tripoli<br />
(Libya), and a wholly owned subsidiary, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> Arabia Ltd, in<br />
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). In 2008, more than 50% of Group revenues<br />
came from this area. MENA is increasingly attracting investment<br />
from leading international petrochemical producers because of its<br />
abundant hydrocarbon resources and favourable geographical<br />
position bridging East and West.<br />
Rabigh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia<br />
At a cost of more than US$9 billion, the client is building one of the<br />
world’s largest integrated refinery and petrochemical complexes at<br />
Rabigh on the Red Sea, about 160 km from Jeddah. Our contract,<br />
awarded in 2006, is for the construction of the polyolefins units. The<br />
Petro Rabigh project marks the entry of Aramco into the<br />
downstream petrochemicals industry, as well as the first large<br />
investment by Sumitomo Chemical in Saudi Arabia.<br />
The <strong>Tecnimont</strong>-led consortium completed the project and handed it<br />
over to the client at the end of November 2008. For <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, it<br />
was an important achievement because of its size and<br />
diversification of technology, and also because of the business<br />
relationships forged with two prestigious new clients, Aramco and<br />
Sumitomo Chemical.<br />
In November 2008, the jury named the Rabigh project the prize<br />
winner at the 2008 International Project Management Association<br />
(IPMA) International Project Excellence Award meeting in Rome.<br />

Tasnee, Al Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia<br />
The client is setting up a large petrochemical complex costing<br />
about US$2.4 billion at Al Jubail. In 2006 <strong>Tecnimont</strong> won a contract<br />
for the construction of HDPE and LDPE plants with a total capacity<br />
of 800,000 tonnes/year, the largest in the world to be based on the<br />
LyondellBasell Hostalen and Lupotech T processes. The complex is<br />
centred on a large ethylene plant supplied by another contractor.<br />
Thanks to its experience in polymers, its excellent relationship<br />
with LyondellBasell and its knowledge of the Saudi Arabian market,<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> was selected by Tasnee in a negotiated open-book,<br />
cost-estimate approach, which was then converted into a lump-sum<br />
contract. The HDPE plant was handed over to the client and<br />
successfully started production in November 2008. The LDPE unit<br />
began production in early 2009. The project was financed by a mix<br />
of equity and loans. Credits were arranged by HSBC as the lead<br />
bank, with the support of SACE, KEXIM and KEIC for export<br />
guarantees and insurance-covered loans.<br />
Borouge 2, Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates<br />
The Borouge 2 project, awarded to <strong>Tecnimont</strong> in April 2007, calls<br />
for the construction of three polyolefins units, together with<br />
associated materials handling facilities, laboratories and marine<br />
installations. One of the largest integrated petrochemical<br />
complexes ever awarded on an EPC lump-sum basis, it is also the<br />
largest contract in <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s history. The project is on<br />
schedule, with about 87% of the engineering completed by the<br />
end of December 2008. Purchase orders placed covered about<br />
85% of the equipment and materials, and approximately 50% of<br />
the materials had already been delivered to the site. Ten million<br />
man-hours had been spent on construction, which was 40%<br />
complete at the end of 2008. The marine facilities were finished<br />
on schedule and the whole project should be completed by the<br />
second half of 2010. The excellent long-term relationship with<br />
Borouge contributed greatly to the project’s success and will<br />
further strengthen Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s hand in bidding for a large<br />
new petrochemicals expansion (Borouge 3), contracts for which<br />
will probably be announced in 2009/2010.<br />
In December 2007 Borouge gave <strong>Tecnimont</strong> another contract,<br />
worth approximately US$28 million, to expand the PE1 line it<br />
installed in 2001. Key success factors here were <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s<br />
excellent performance in the Borouge 1 project, its successful<br />
revamping of the PE2 line in 2004, and its ongoing performance in<br />
the Borouge 2 expansion. The project was completed on schedule<br />
in February 2009.<br />

Statement by Pal Theie, Vice-President, Projects &<br />
Technical Support, Borealis<br />
“Today Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is among our most important contractors, engaged<br />
with the construction of our new LDPE plant in Sweden and our three new<br />
Borstar plants in Borouge 2, the expansion of our joint venture in Abu Dhabi.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> thereby continues to expand the high number of polyolefins<br />
plants realized by utilizing our advanced technologies worldwide, in UAE,<br />
Austria, Belgium, Finland, Sweden and China. The LD5 plant in Sweden will<br />
be the world’s largest plant for producing polyethylene resin for the Wire &<br />
Cable industry, and is the largest polyolefins project in Europe to date.<br />
The decision of contracting Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> the multi billion petrochemical<br />
project Borouge 2 in Abu Dhabi - UAE has strengthened our business<br />
relationships based on a long-lasting contractor-client loyalty. Our relationship<br />
dates back to 1962, based on a strong collaboration with the then engineering<br />
centre of Montecatini, reputed for its high capabilities thanks to the heritage<br />
left by Professor Giulio Natta, Nobel prize winner in 1954. Borouge 2 is the<br />
most important project to date using our advanced technology "Borstar". The<br />
Borstar technology - state-of-the-art multi modal proprietary technology for<br />
PE and PP - is the core ingredient of Borealis and Borouge value creation<br />
through innovation strategy in Europe and Middle East. With Borouge 2, we<br />
intend to satisfy the boosting demand of polyolefins products in the world."<br />
Growing Opportunities in Egypt<br />
Egypt and its 80 million people represent a promising internal market, growing at annual rate of<br />
3-4%. Leveraging on the country’s large gas reserves, the Ministry of Petroleum is pursuing a 15-year<br />
development plan aiming at increasing petrochemical production from the current 1.5 million<br />
tonnes/year to 15 million tonnes/year, with a total investment of about ¤20 billion. The plan will be<br />
implemented through Egas, EGPC and ECHEM, the government holding companies for natural gas, oil<br />
and petrochemicals.<br />
In February 2008, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> signed an agreement with the Egyptian Petrochemicals Holding<br />
Company (ECHEM) to form a new company incorporated in Egypt to provide engineering and<br />
management services for the construction of industrial plants in Egypt and neighbouring countries.<br />
The new company is jointly owned by <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, ECHEM and the Egyptian Petroleum Projects &<br />
Technical Consultation Co. (PETROJET).<br />
Later in the year <strong>Tecnimont</strong> signed a further contract with Egypt’s state-owned Engineering for the<br />
Petroleum & Process Industries (Enppi) to provide PMC (Project Management Contractor) services for<br />
a 200,000 tonnes/year polystyrene plant at Alexandria. The services will be provided on a reimbursable<br />
basis. These initiatives are part of a wider effort to strengthen the Group’s presence in North Africa in<br />
the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.<br />
Long-Standing Presence in the Russian Federation<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been present in Russia and countries of the former Soviet Union for more than<br />
70 years. The cooperation dates back to the 1930s, when Montecatini was active in technology transfer<br />
and fertilizer plant construction. The first permanent representative office was opened in Moscow at<br />
the beginning of the 1960s. Since then, the Group has supplied plants for basic chemicals,<br />
intermediates, and fine chemicals and in recent decades has also been active in petrochemicals,<br />
power and infrastructure.<br />
To date, the Group has completed 50 projects worth about US$2 billion in the former Soviet Union. In<br />
2007 it founded a subsidiary in Moscow to provide engineering services for this market and is currently<br />
building five plants, worth about ¤700 million, in various parts of the Russian Federation - Tatarstan,<br />
Bashkiria, western Siberia and the Arctic region. Clients include national oil ministries, public utilities<br />
and private investors. We believe there is great potential in the Russian market because of its large<br />
energy reserves and the need to make local plants compliant with European Union regulations.<br />
Europe: Engineering Capabilities and Selected Projects<br />
Investment in chemicals and petrochemicals is increasingly turning away from<br />
the mature markets of Europe and North America towards hydrocarbon-rich<br />
emerging countries. However, Europe still has a strategic role in the<br />
development of selected projects, partly as a result of its excellent historical<br />
tradition in E&C services. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s European engineering centres<br />
represent a major portion of its international E&C network, and provide<br />
multi-disciplinary services to all its business units, especially in chemicals and<br />
petrochemicals. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is currently working on several projects for<br />
prominent clients in central Europe, both in the traditional petrochemicals<br />
sector and in new chemical technologies linked to green energy production.<br />
44 45
Münchsmünster, Germany<br />
The contract is to design, supply and build a new HDPE plant at the<br />
Münchsmünster Industriepark in Bavaria. LyondellBasell is a<br />
historic and strategic partner of <strong>Tecnimont</strong> and the worldwide<br />
leader in polypropylene production and polyolefins technology. The<br />
plant will replace a former PE unit at the site that has been shut<br />
down after many years of operation. The new HDPE plant will have<br />
a larger capacity than the old unit and use the best available<br />
technology. The LyondellBasell Hostalen process will produce<br />
higher throughputs of PE and an important variety of polymer<br />
grades. The project is based on <strong>Tecnimont</strong>'s experience in the<br />
construction of the HDPE plant at Plock, Poland, for the Basell joint<br />
venture with PKN Orlen several years ago. That project is being<br />
used as a reference for the new design. The history of the industrial<br />
area of Münchsmünster and the interface with local authorities,<br />
together with stringent European, German and Bavarian<br />
environmental regulations, make this a significant project in terms<br />
of plant design. Engineering and procurement activities were<br />
virtually completed in 2008. The project is nearing the end of<br />
the construction phase before entering pre-commissioning. The<br />
Bratislava, Slovak Republic<br />
In September 2008, Slovnaft Petrochemicals sro, a member of the<br />
MOL Group and one of the largest players in the European polyolefins<br />
market, awarded <strong>Tecnimont</strong> a contract for the basic design<br />
engineering package for a 220,000 tonnes/year low density<br />
polyethylene plant. The project is part of the Slovnaft Petrochemicals’<br />
development plan in Bratislava. It was <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s first contract in<br />
the Slovak Republic. The LDPE–4 project in Bratislava will be<br />
developed on open-book basis, including the provision of license and<br />
services for the development of the complete basic engineering<br />
design package and total investment cost estimation, for further<br />
conversion into a lump-sum, turnkey contract. The plant, based on<br />
the state-of-the-art LyondellBasell Lupotech T tubular high-pressure<br />
process, will be completed in 2012. The contract confirms<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s excellent relationship with the MOL Group, for which it<br />
has already built two polypropylene plants in Hungary.<br />

In February 2008, the Padua-based Silfab awarded Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> a contract for basic engineering<br />
design services (FEED), main equipment procurement, permitting services and other support activities<br />
for a new added value manufacturing plant. Silfab is a new company formed by entrepreneurs active for<br />
more than 25 years in the photovoltaics industry. The overall investment will exceed ¤400 million and<br />
Silfab plans to proceed with EPC activities in 2009. This contract represents Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s first entry<br />
into photovoltaics, which we believe to have great potential, along with other areas of renewable energy.<br />
The Group’s multi-business competences in the chemical and civil/industrial sectors will enable it to<br />
offer the highest quality standards in industrial projects in other areas of advanced technology.<br />
Venezuela: Strategic Opportunities in South America<br />
THE HYDROCARBON PROCESS CHAIN<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> entered the Venezuelan market in 2008. Polinter, a subsidiary of the state-owned<br />
Petroquímica de Venezuela SA (Pequiven), gave it a ¤90 million contract for the provision of basic<br />
engineering design services and the procurement of long lead items for a 300,000 tonnes/year low<br />
density polyethylene (LDPE) plant. The unit, based on LyondellBasell Lupotech T technology, will<br />
form part of the El Tablazo (Zulia) petrochemical complex. Lupotech T is the world’s leading LDPE<br />
technology, for which <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, thanks to its German engineering centre at Salzgitter, is the<br />
preferred contractor. Part of the Olefinas Tercera y Polietilenos El Tablazo complex, the plant<br />
forms part of the Indipendencia project, which will start up by 2011, the bicentenary of Venezuelan<br />
independence. Some months later, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> signed a contract with Propilsur, a joint venture of<br />
Braskem Pequiven, Petroquimica de Venezuela and Sojitz, for the provision of basic engineering<br />
design services for the construction of a polypropylene plant at Jose, Venezuela. Both Venezuelan<br />
projects are expected to be converted into EPC turnkey contracts.<br />
In December 2008, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> signed a contract for front-end engineering design (FEED) and cost<br />
estimates for new fertilizer plants - two 1,850 tonnes/day ammonia and two 2,200 tonnes/day urea<br />
units - to be built at the Jose complex.<br />

OIL & GAS<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> has developed considerable expertise and numerous<br />
references in the oil & gas sector. Its French subsidiary Sofregaz is<br />
recognized as a leading worldwide provider of services throughout<br />
the entire natural gas chain. <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s workload in recent years<br />
has included LNG regasification terminals, aromatics complexes,<br />
natural gas treatment plants and refinery units. In 2008 Maire<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> continued its repositioning in this expanding market<br />
through commercial activities such as market development and<br />
bidding as well as executing projects.<br />
The Group continued to work on large EPC projects and on<br />
engineering design and project management services for regasification<br />
terminals, the latter being carried out by Sofregaz.<br />
During the year Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> strengthened its position in the<br />
LNG regasification market by winning five major service contracts,<br />
and also by being selected as EPC contractor for the Wilhelmshaven<br />
LNG terminal for DFTG of Germany. The last project, however, was<br />
then shelved by the client.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s leading position in CO 2 capture and storage was<br />
further strengthened by new FEED and tendering activities in 2008.<br />
We continued to work in Iran by providing specialist engineering<br />
services to natural gas treatment plants.<br />
Europe and Natural Gas: a Strategic Challenge<br />
Natural gas is the world’s largest source of energy after oil and coal,<br />
and is the cleanest of the fossil fuels. For these reasons it will<br />
continue to play a strategic role in the global energy mix. According<br />
to the International Energy Agency, world demand for natural gas<br />
will increase by 52% to 4.4 trillion cubic metres by 2030. Market<br />
development is influenced by the proximity of reserves to areas of<br />
demand. In this respect, Europe occupies a central position,<br />
surrounded by the major gas-exporting countries of Russia,<br />
Eurasia, the Middle East and North Africa.<br />
The success of the European Union’s energy policies depends on the<br />
development of a modern natural gas infrastructure to enable<br />
European countries to diversify their sources and means of supply.<br />

THE NATURAL GAS CHAIN<br />
New Gas Contracts and Projects Under Execution<br />
in Europe<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> and Sofregaz continue to contribute to the<br />
development of the pan-European natural gas infrastructure. In<br />
2008 the Group undertook new projects in gas storage and front-end<br />
engineering design and project management services for LNG<br />

Kuwait: Completing the Major Aromatics Project Accident-Free<br />
In February 2006, Kuwait Paraxylene Production Company (KPPC)<br />
awarded the TSK consortium a lump-sum turnkey contract for the<br />
construction of the first aromatics complex in Kuwait. The TSK<br />
consortium was formed by <strong>Tecnimont</strong> and the Korean company,<br />
SK Engineering and Construction. The complex, which will<br />
produce paraxylene and benzene, is being built on a greenfield<br />
site at Shuaiba, and is fully integrated into the larger EQUATE<br />
project. <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is in charge of design, procurement and<br />
erection, as well as pre-commissioning and commissioning<br />
services. The complex uses environmentally friendly technology<br />
to guarantee maximum safety, security and product quality. HSE<br />
has been a top priority at all stages of the project’s history. The<br />
consortium has trained more than 50,000 workers in basic and<br />
higher HSE issues. As a result, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has recorded 20 million<br />
working hours without lost-time injury.<br />
Far East: Developing FEED Projects for LNG Terminals<br />
East Asia is one of the most important markets for Sofregaz, which<br />
is developing technical supervision and commissioning services for<br />
LNG terminals in Dalian and Jiangsu, China. The client is Huangjiu<br />
Contracting and Engineering Corp, part of the Petrochina Group.<br />
Sofregaz is developing for Guangdong Dapeng LNG the front-end<br />
engineering design for an expansion of the existing LNG terminal at<br />
Guangdong through the installation of a fourth LNG tank and<br />
associated facilities. <strong>Tecnimont</strong> completed China’s first LNG<br />

POWER<br />
The general economic slowdown in 2008 clearly impacted the<br />
overall volume of investments in the energy sector, although in a<br />
more contained manner than in other markets. In fact, the<br />
continued economic development of the BRIC and Latin American<br />
countries sustained the demand for traditional gas- and coal-fired<br />
power plants. Renewable energy projects were spurred on by the<br />
high price of oil in the early part of the year, but were decelerated or<br />
deferred in the second half. Following the merger with Maire<br />
Engineering, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> aims to maintain its high profile and high<br />
market share in the traditional energy sector, as well as expanding<br />
its interests in new fields such as supercritical plants and<br />
renewable energy. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s most significant projects are<br />
being implemented in Latin America and Eastern Europe, while an<br />
important “green” power project is under way in Italy.<br />
The Growing Power Market in Latin America<br />
Latin American electricity and infrastructure markets have been a<br />
magnet for international investors for many years. This is due to<br />
improvements in the regulatory climate, the availability of new<br />
technologies and the strong infrastructural development in many<br />
countries. Brazil, the largest South American country, has seen<br />
particularly strong growth. With more than 190 million people, the<br />
country is one of the founder members of the BRIC club, together<br />
with Russia and the Asian giants, China and India. In 2007 the Lula<br />
government launched a programme to increase GDP growth to 5%<br />
annually by improving employment and living conditions.<br />
Investment in infrastructure and energy plays a major role. Brazil<br />
is particularly well placed, thanks to its major conventional<br />
hydrocarbon resources as well as its strategic position in ethanol<br />
and biodiesel. The government has introduced several regulatory<br />
reforms to encourage public and private investment in transport<br />
and energy, which have stimulated a huge inflow of foreign direct<br />
investment in recent years.<br />

Large EPC Power Projects in Latin America:<br />
the Chile Experience<br />
The Group’s presence in Latin America dates back to the early<br />
1970s and the formation of Maire Engineering do Brasil.<br />
Leveraging on its track record in power plants and large<br />
petrochemical projects, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been progressively<br />
asserting its role as one of the region’s leading providers in power<br />
generation. A <strong>Tecnimont</strong>-led consortium is building two 370 MW<br />
coal-fired power stations in the Puerto Coronel area of Chile,<br />
approximately 500 km south of the capital Santiago. The<br />
contracts, with Colbun SA (Matte group) and Endesa Chile, have a<br />
total value of more than US$1,080 million. <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share is<br />
about 75%. In both projects <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is in charge of the design,<br />
supply, assembly and commissioning of the whole plant,<br />
including the steam turbines supplied by General Electric and the<br />
boilers supplied by the Slovak partner SES. The two projects<br />
should be completed by the end of 2010 or early 2011. They are<br />
extremely important for Chile and will make a major contribution<br />
to alleviating the electricity shortages that plunge the country into<br />
a serious crisis every year.<br />
Serving the Brazilian Electricity Market:<br />
New Thermoelectric Mega-Projects<br />
2008 was a very successful year for <strong>Tecnimont</strong> in Brazil. In January,<br />
the Company was awarded mega-contracts worth approximately<br />
¤1.1 billion for the construction of two power stations with a<br />
combined capacity of 1,080 MW in the northeast of the country. They<br />
will be built on a lump-sum turnkey basis. At the time of the award,<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> owned 65% of the special-purpose company, Mabe<br />
Construção e Administração de Projetos Ltda (MABE), set up with<br />
other Brazilian partners to handle the contracts. Its share in MABE<br />
has subsequently increased to 73.5%.<br />
The first project is for a 360 MW coal-fired power station to be built<br />
near the port of Itaqui, in the state of Maranhao. The client is UTE<br />
Porto do Itaqui Geração de Energia SA, a company owned by MPX<br />
(EBX group), a major Brazilian private player operating mainly in the<br />
mining sector. The value of the multicurrency contract was about<br />
¤380 million at the time of award. The power station will be in<br />
operation in 44 months.<br />
The second project is for a coal-fired power station with a capacity<br />
of 720 MW in two lines, to be built near the port of Pecem, in Cearà<br />
state. The client is Porto do Pecem Geração de Energia SA, equally<br />
owned by MPX and by the Portuguese national utility EDP through<br />
its subsidiary, Energias do Brasil. The value of the multicurrency<br />
contract at the time of award was about ¤700 million. The power<br />
station will be in operation in 47 months.<br />
Both plants will be designed to comply with stringent environmental standards, higher than required by<br />
current Brazilian regulations.<br />
Several months later, in October 2008, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> signed a further contract with MPX Pecem II Geração<br />
de Energia SA, a company wholly owned by MPX, for the provision of EPC services for a third coal-fired<br />
365 MW line at Pecém. Work on Pecém II will be integrated with the earlier Pecém and Itaqui projects and<br />
will therefore benefit from significant time, cost and risk management optimization. The project value at<br />
the time of award was about ¤350 million.<br />
The <strong>Tecnimont</strong>-led consortium MABE, as EPC contractor on the two projects, has also signed contracts<br />
to supply flue gas desulphurization (FGD) and dedusting systems to the Pecem and Itaqui power stations.<br />
One FGD system will be installed at Itaqui and two more at Pecem. Komline-Sanderson of the US will<br />
provide semi-dry technology for FGD. Enfil SA, Brazil, will provide the baghouse filters for the dedusting<br />
system. The total value of the contracts is ¤80 million, of which <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share is around ¤59 million.<br />

Energy for Albania<br />
Albania is a country in transition from a centrally planned to a market-based economy. This poses<br />
major challenges as well as providing new opportunities. Two key factors favouring social and<br />
economic development are the availability of electricity and the diversification of energy supply.<br />
Albania has seen rapid growth in demand for electricity, which has brought an increasing dependence<br />
on imports. Sustainability of electricity supply is becoming an increasingly sensitive issue for the<br />
country, and a programme to reform and improve the performance of the energy sector and open the<br />
market is being implemented. The Valona power plant, supported by the World Bank, European Bank<br />
for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and European Investment Bank (EIB), is a cornerstone of<br />
the new policy.<br />
Valona Power Plant<br />
In 2007 <strong>Tecnimont</strong> beat other major international<br />
bidders to win the contract for the construction of a<br />
gas turbine combined-cycle (GTCC) power plant at<br />
Valona, southern Albania. The agreement is in two<br />
parts: a ¤92 million contract for engineering,<br />
procurement and construction, and a ¤23 million<br />
contract for long-term gas turbine maintenance<br />
service. Around 90% of the EPC project is being funded<br />
by the World Bank, the EBRD and the EIB. KESH is<br />
responsible for the remaining 10%. The project, due to<br />
be completed in September 2009, consists of a 100 MW<br />
GTCC at ISO conditions, with emission limits in line<br />
with the most stringent regulations thanks to the use<br />
of the most advanced technologies.<br />
The Valona plant is designed to be self-sufficient. It will<br />
be equipped with its own sea terminal and pumping<br />
station to receive deliveries of diesel oil and sufficient<br />
tank storage for diesel oil to ensure operation of the<br />
plant for over 30 days. It will also have its own sea water<br />
cooling system and reverse osmosis desalination plant,<br />
coupled with a continuous plant producing dimineralized<br />
water to feed the heat recovery steam generator.<br />
The plant will be able to satisfy the electricity demand of<br />
a town of about 250,000 inhabitants. It is Albania’s first<br />
big project in the power sector for 20 years and<br />
represents the first major attempt to alleviate the<br />
country’s shortage of energy. It will also help diversify<br />
the country’s source of electricity, which now comes<br />
only from hydropower. The project contributes<br />
significantly to the local labour market. It will represent<br />
a total of approximately 1.5 million working hours, of<br />
which more than 900,000 hours will be attributable to<br />
Albanian companies.<br />

BIOMASS SHORT CHAIN<br />
Towards one of the Largest Biomass Power Stations:<br />
Contributing to the Green Energy Sector in Italy<br />
As part of the Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s increasing focus on renewable<br />
energy, the Group is promoting a biomass power station at<br />
Olevano Lomellina (Pavia, Italy). Construction will start in June<br />
2009 and the project should be completed by mid-2011. The<br />
power plant, with an installed capacity of about 18 MW, will be<br />
built by <strong>Tecnimont</strong> as general contractor. The investment is about<br />
¤75 million. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> will form a special-purpose company<br />
to manage the plant in association with local biomass providers,<br />
who have guaranteed its entire lifetime raw materials supply.<br />
The project is the first example of this magnitude of real integration<br />
between the agriculture and power sectors in Italy, in line with the<br />
local supply chain (“filiera corta”) requirements of the Ministry of<br />
Agricultural, Food and Forest Politics. This approach offers<br />
farmers the long-term prospect of a new and dependable source of<br />
income from traditional farming. Significant benefits are also<br />
foreseen in terms of employment and the development of local<br />
services. Local residents will benefit from new urbanization works,<br />
discounts on electric tariffs, and so on.<br />
The power station will produce about 140,000 MWh per year,<br />
sufficient for a town of about 40,000 inhabitants. It will have<br />
virtually zero environmental impact and no CO 2 emissions. A<br />
traditional coal-fired power plant of this size would emit more<br />
than 100,000 tonnes/year of CO 2.

INFRASTRUCTURE &<br />
CIVIL ENGINEERING<br />
Infrastructural investment in Italy, where the Group’s activities are<br />
concentrated, remained at the same low level as in past years in 2008,<br />
held back by public financing constraints as well the legislative and<br />
administrative complexity that characterizes large-scale public works.<br />
Demand for engineering and construction services in the transport<br />
sector (for high-speed trains, above-ground and underground<br />
railways) showed little change, although several initiatives by Italferr,<br />
the engineering subsidiary of Italian Railways, and Anas, the national<br />
highways authority, have been announced, and will be developed<br />
during 2009.<br />
Substantial growth in infrastructural investment is expected from<br />
2009 onwards, due to the programmes under way in many countries,<br />
including Italy, to stimulate the world economy.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is focusing its new marketing efforts on those areas<br />
of the world in which it is well-placed to win new business, notably<br />
Eastern Europe, North Africa and South America. The Group already<br />
has an established reputation in these areas because of the work<br />
successfully carried out by its other business units. It also has<br />
subsidiaries or representative offices in many of the countries.<br />

SERVING URBAN DEVELOPMENT<br />
IN LARGE ITALIAN CITIES<br />
Turin: Past, Present, and Future<br />
Turin, with an area of 130 sq. km and a population of 902,000, is one of the most promising<br />
and innovative Italian cities. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has deep roots in the city, which is now the<br />
location of one of its main engineering centres, specializing in the design and construction<br />
of infrastructure, power plants and civil and industrial buildings. The centre dates back to<br />
1937 and the foundation of Fiat’s Construction and Plant Division. It was then incorporated<br />
as Fiat Engineering SpA in 1972, and in 2004 was acquired by the Maire Group, becoming<br />
Maire Engineering. Finally, in October 2008 it was merged into <strong>Tecnimont</strong>.<br />
Thanks to its long-standing presence in the city, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has played an important<br />
part in Turin’s development in recent years.<br />
In 1995 the city began a complex economic recovery and urban development programme<br />
that included infrastructural improvements, new transport systems, brownfield recovery,<br />
restoration of the historical centre, and upgrade of the suburbs. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been<br />
actively engaged in this programme and, in particular, in work carried out for the 2006<br />
Winter Olympics. Examples of the latter include the Palavela stadium used for skating<br />
races, built in the record time of less than 14 months, and the Olympic Village, which<br />
comprised three residential units housing 2,500 athletes and their families with gymnasia<br />
and service facilities. In complex civil buildings, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been involved in the<br />
design of Turin University’s Faculty of Law and Political Sciences. The new layout,<br />
developed by Maire Engineering in collaboration with the architect Norman Foster, is<br />
characterized by flexibility and is capable of responding to the university’s future growth<br />
and transformation.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s main contribution to Turin development currently is in the<br />
implementation of a state-of-the-art mass transport system.<br />
Turin Metro – Line1 (First Part)<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> built Italy’s first completely automated (driverless, VAL<br />
technology) underground mass transportation system in Turin. The<br />
project was awarded to the <strong>Tecnimont</strong>-led Transfima consortium in<br />
2000 and completed in 2007. The VAL (automated light vehicle)<br />
technology provides many benefits to passenger comfort and safety:<br />
optimization of train transit frequency, lowering of vehicle<br />
vibrations, and innovative platform door systems. Finally, the lowerdiameter<br />
tunnels meant that the delivery time of the project was<br />
shortened and construction-related problems and inconvenience<br />
for the city were reduced.<br />
Turin Metro – Line1 (Extensions)<br />
TURIN METRO CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM<br />
In December 2006, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> signed a contract for 3.1 km extension<br />
of the Turin Metro Line 1. The new route from Marconi to Lingotto<br />
includes six stations (Marconi, Nizza, Dante, Carducci/Molinette,<br />
Spezia and Lingotto), five intermediate pits, a 2.9 km double-track<br />
tunnel with 7.5 metres diameter EPB TBM, and further auxiliary<br />
facilities. The work poses considerable technical difficulties because<br />
of the need to minimize the impact of the construction sites. The line<br />
extension crosses the centre of Turin, where the traffic level is high<br />
and urban activities are concentrated. As consortium leader,<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> is in charge of procurement, design and construction,<br />
including environmental studies and compliance with health and safety<br />
regulations. By the end of 2008, 62% of the work had been completed.<br />
The whole contract, worth about ¤100 million, will be finished by 2010.<br />
A further extension of the Metro Line 1 from Lingotto to Bengasi,<br />
based on the same VAL technology, should be approved by the city<br />
authorities soon. Under an outline agreement Transfima would handle<br />
system engineering, technology procurement, and construction<br />
supervision. The consortium has also developed a preliminary design<br />
for a western extension of Line 1, from Collegno to Cascine Vica.<br />

Rome: Past, Present, and Future<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been present in Rome since 1983, when the original Maire<br />
companies were founded. The Group now has its legal and administrative headquarters<br />
in Italy’s capital city, sharing office space with the engineering task force working on<br />
mass transport systems, and with the wholly owned subsidiary MST, a leading player in<br />
public-sector facility management. Maire has completed a number of important<br />
projects in the Rome area in recent years, including civil and industrial buildings,<br />
cultural heritage restoration projects, and urban development programmes. The most<br />
prominent was the construction of the new Ara Pacis Museum designed by the architect<br />
Richard Meyer in the centre of Rome, which is built around the imperial Roman altar<br />
dedicated to peace. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s activities in the city are currently focused on<br />
mass transportation systems.<br />
Metro Rome – B1 Line<br />
The B1 Line project, started in 2005, involves the detailed<br />
design and construction of a Metro line that is completely<br />
underground. Three stations are being constructed:<br />
Annibaliano, Gondar, and Conca d’Oro, one of which is 36<br />
metres below the surface. The tunnel boring machine<br />
(TBM) earth pressure balance (EPB) excavation<br />
technology used in the project permits a significant<br />
reduction of overlying soils of low mechanical<br />
performance and high water content in areas of<br />
significant historical and architectural interest. The work<br />
will be completed by 2011.<br />
In 2008 <strong>Tecnimont</strong> started to extend the B1 line by 1,100<br />
metres from Conca d’Oro to the next station, Piazzale<br />
Ionio. The project involves the construction of three car<br />
parks near the stations. The value of the project is about<br />
¤160 million, of which <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share is 16%.<br />

Excellence in High-Speed Railways<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been involved with high-speed railways for<br />
many years and has developed considerable experience and<br />
expertise. The Group is part of the CAVET and CAVTOMI consortia<br />
taking part to the construction of two of the most important<br />
Italian high-speed lines from Turin to Milan and from Florence to<br />
Bologna. TAV, the subsidiary of Italian State Railways responsible<br />
for high-speed development, has entrusted the two consortia with<br />
the preliminary, final and detailed design, environmental impact<br />
assessment, environmental monitoring services, and related<br />
construction works for the two lines.<br />
The Turin-Milan line will have a length of 125 km, and includes<br />
four interconnections with existing lines, 150 km of ordinary<br />
roads and motorways and 16 motorway junctions. The first part of<br />
the line, from Turin to Novara, is already in operation.<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share of the entire project was worth about ¤380<br />
million at the contract date.<br />
The 78 km Bologna-Florence railway line has one interconnection<br />
with existing lines, 73.4 km of tunnels and 110 km of ordinary<br />
roads. The project is technologically complex, with over 90% of<br />
the line being laid in tunnels under the Apennine Mountains. The<br />
consortium has had to overcome many technical problems,<br />
including the excavation of tunnels in poor and variable terrain.<br />
The mountainous nature of the Apennine region has also made it<br />
necessary to carry out large-scale landscaping and other<br />
infrastructural work. The line will enter into operation by the end<br />
of 2009. <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share of the project was about ¤490 million<br />
at the contract date.<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> has also developed the preliminary and final design and<br />
environmental impact assessment for the civil works and railway<br />
superstructure for the long-awaited Milan-Genoa high-speed<br />
railway. The Company is part of the COCIV consortium that will<br />
handle design and construction. The project will consist of 54 km of<br />
double-track line, of which 37 km will be in tunnels. The Italian<br />
government decided recently to push ahead with this long-delayed<br />
project because of its strategic importance for the national economy.<br />

Connecting Southern Italy<br />
Historically southern Italy suffers from the lack of an efficient,<br />
modern transport infrastructure. Major public investment<br />
programmes are under way to remedy this weakness. Maire<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> is working on three main transport projects that will<br />
significantly reduce current bottlenecks on railways and highways.<br />
Fiumetorto-Cefalù Railway and the Imera Archaeological Site<br />
As general contractor, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has completed the detailed design<br />
and is carrying out land acquisition, works supervision and<br />
construction of the doubling of the railway line from Fiumetorto to<br />
Cefalù Ogliastrillo, near Palermo in Sicily. 12 km of new track will be<br />
constructed alongside the existing one-track line, 4 km will be in<br />
tunnels and another 4 km will be new track. Construction started<br />
officially in May 2008 and is due to end in 2011. Preliminary work on<br />
the tunnel excavation and new track is already complete.<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> is in charge of environmental supervision and<br />
management of the project. The works area has a high hydrological<br />
risk and is also adjacent to the archaeological site at Imera. This is<br />
one of the largest archaeological sites in Europe, covering an area of<br />
about 15,000 sq. metres, where in 2008 archaeologists discovered the<br />
ancient necropolis of Himera. The 70 or so people working on the site<br />
have so far uncovered more than 1,500 tombs from the Greek period<br />
(648-409 BC). They expect ultimately to find more than 12,000 tombs.<br />
Among the finds are such day-by-day objects as coins, pots, baby’s<br />
bottles, etc. All parties involved have cooperated to ensure that this<br />
valuable heritage site is being excavated without halting a strategic<br />
public investment essential for the development of Sicily.<br />

Lamezia Terme-Catanzaro Railway<br />
As consortium leader, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> carried out detailed design and<br />
construction of the new railway line linking Settingiano and<br />
Catanzaro Lido in Calabria. The contract included the design and<br />
construction of the railway superstructure along the line and inside<br />
the stations, and all technological equipment required for its<br />
operation. The latest techniques were used for the tunnel, in<br />
particular tunnel boring machine (TBM) earth pressure balance<br />
(EPB) technology. This enabled the tunnel to be dug at an average of<br />
16 metres/day, with a peak rate of 37 metres/day. The project was<br />
part of a wider urban recovery programme for the socio-economic<br />
development of the area. Particular attention was given to an<br />
integrated quality/environment/safety management system. The<br />
line was put into operation in June 2008.<br />
Salerno-Reggio Calabria Highway<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> is part of a consortium selected in October 2008 as<br />
the preliminary winner of a tender to act as general contractor<br />
for the modernization and upgrading of about 20 km of the<br />
Salerno-Reggio Calabria A3 Highway, in Cosenza province. The<br />
client is the national highways authority Anas. The contract<br />
foresees detailed design, construction management and<br />
realization of the works, as well as environmental monitoring<br />
and safety coordination, both in the design and in execution<br />
phases. The value of the project is around ¤400 million, of which<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share will be around ¤200 million. The<br />
project includes the construction of eight viaducts and nine<br />
tunnels, together with the enlargement of the Viadotto Italia<br />
across the Lao river valley, which at 259 metres is the highest<br />
Italian highway bridge.<br />

Complex Civil Buildings and Architectural Excellence<br />
Three projects have been chosen in this section to illustrate<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s capabilities in complex civil and industrial<br />
buildings (hospitals, office buildings, service centres and so on).<br />
A common feature of our work is the combination of innovative<br />
technological solutions with attention to architectural design and<br />
landscaping, particularly in the maintenance or refurbishment of<br />
historic buildings.<br />
Amato Real Estate<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong> has undertaken the redevelopment of the site of a former<br />
pasta factory owned by the Amato family in Salerno (southern Italy).<br />
The redevelopment is one of several private and public initiatives in<br />
the town carried out by prominent international architects. The Amato<br />
project, designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel, foresees the<br />
development of a new residential and commercial complex alongside<br />
a new 5,000 sq. metre park. The site is at a critical junction between<br />
the city centre and the suburbs, and is crossed by public and private<br />
traffic. Site specificity, orientation and landscape, energy-saving<br />
concepts and innovative materials are the main elements of the<br />
redevelopment, which includes infrastructural facilities and<br />
underground parking financed entirely by private funds. The project<br />
foresees the construction of new structures that respect and<br />
emphasize in a contemporary manner the historical-industrial<br />
context of the old mill. The project will play a strategic role in the<br />
development of the surrounding area.<br />

61,000 sq. metres. The pioneering “wellness factory”, designed by the<br />
architects Antonio Citterio & Partners, includes an area of 40,000 sq.<br />
metres for assembly and logistic services, as well as 11,000 sq. metres<br />
for administrative and commercial activities, a research centre,<br />
gymnasium and a wellness area. The project features innovative use of<br />
materials; the buildings’ external coverings are made of wood, glass<br />
and aluminium. The project should be completed by 2010.<br />
Avellino Hospital<br />
This project includes the construction of a hospital that will<br />
become the sole hospital of Avellino and offer advanced medical<br />
assistance to the entire province. The distinctive element of the<br />
hospital layout is the central square, from which horizontal routes<br />
fan out to connect the various parts of the estate. The hospital will<br />
house 880 beds and have 10 operating theatres. The Healthcare<br />
Centre of Avellino will be of fundamental importance for the<br />
network of medical services in southern Italy. It will replace four<br />
existing hospitals and become a regional medical centre of<br />
excellence, equipped with the most advanced specialist<br />
departments. The project will be completed by December 2010.<br />

Functions of the Board of Directors<br />
The Board of Directors plays a central role in the corporate organization, and<br />
drives the pursuit of the strategic goals of the Company and the Group. It also<br />
checks that proper controls are in place to monitor their progress. Apart from<br />
the powers granted to it under the law and the Articles of Association, the<br />
Board of Directors also exercises sole competence in the following matters:<br />
approval of Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s and the Group’s strategic, industrial and<br />
financial plans and budgets;<br />
approval of the Company’s first quarter and first half reports, including<br />
the consolidated accounts;<br />
assessment of the appropriateness of the general organizational,<br />
administrative and accounting structure of the Company and its<br />
strategically significant subsidiaries as drawn up by the Chief Executive<br />
Officer, with specific reference to the internal control system and the<br />
management of conflicts of interest;<br />
periodic assessment of the Company’s and Group’s operating, financial<br />
and stock market performance;<br />
approval of transactions entailing the acquisition and disposal of<br />
controlling interests in other companies and in important parts of the<br />
Group’s and other companies’ businesses;<br />
definition of the Company’s and the Group’s corporate governance system<br />
and rules;<br />
formation and regulation of committees within the Board of Directors, the<br />
appointment of committee members and determination of their emoluments;<br />
conferment on and revocation of delegated powers from the Chief<br />
Executive Officer, the Chairman and other Board members, and the<br />
determination of related emoluments;<br />
approval of transactions proposed by the Company and its subsidiaries<br />
that are likely to have a significant impact on the Company’s strategy,<br />
operations, and financial or equity situation;<br />
decisions pertaining to the exercise of voting rights in strategically<br />
significant direct subsidiaries, at the recommendation of the Chief<br />
Executive Officer.<br />
74 75
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer<br />
The Chairman of the Board of Directors also serves as the Chief<br />
Executive Officer. He is therefore the main person responsible for<br />
managing the Company. The appointment of the same person to<br />
act as Board Chairman and CEO is, in the Board’s opinion, justified<br />
by the organizational structure of the Company and the Group to<br />
which it belongs, and by the particular nature of the Company’s<br />
business, which consists primarily of the management of operating<br />
subsidiaries and the management and coordination of Group<br />
companies. The Chairman, Fabrizio Di Amato, also controls the<br />
majority of the shares in the Company through Maire Gestioni SpA.<br />
On 10 September 2007, the Board of Directors invested the CEO<br />
with full powers of Company management, to be exercised under<br />
his sole signature, both in Italy and overseas, except for and<br />
excluding those powers and responsibilities which have been<br />
specifically reserved for the whole Board of Directors. At the same<br />
time it required the CEO to report to the Board of Directors on the<br />
activities undertaken in performance of his delegated powers on at<br />
least a quarterly basis.<br />
Remuneration Committee<br />
The Remuneration Committee is made up solely of non-executive Directors, most of whom are also<br />
independent: Adolfo Guzzini, Giuseppe Colaiacovo and Stefano Fiorini, the last serving as Committee<br />
Chairman. The Remuneration Committee is tasked with (i) making recommendations to the Board of<br />
Directors on the remuneration, including stock options, of the Chief Executive Officer and other<br />
Directors entrusted with specific tasks, and (ii) periodically assessing the criteria adopted for the<br />
compensation of executives with strategic responsibilities, monitoring the application of these criteria<br />
and forwarding general recommendations in such regard to the Board of Directors.<br />
Internal Control Committee<br />
The Internal Control Committee is made up solely of non-executive Directors, most of whom are<br />
also independent: Adolfo Guzzini, Giuseppe Colaiacovo and Stefano Fiorini, the last serving as<br />
Committee Chairman. The Internal Control Committee is tasked with providing the Board with<br />
advice and recommendations in respect of (i) defining the guidelines of the internal audit system<br />
and checking its appropriateness and functioning; (ii) evaluating the work schedule prepared by<br />
Internal Auditing and examining the periodic reports submitted by this function; (iii) assessing,<br />
together with the Company’s administrative managers and auditors, the appropriateness of the<br />
accounting principles used and their uniform application for the purposes of drawing up the<br />
consolidated financial statements; (iv) assessing proposals submitted by auditing firms competing<br />
for appointment as independent auditors, as well as assessing the auditing work schedule and<br />
results indicated in the report and suggestion letter.<br />
Organizational Model Pursuant to Legislative<br />
Decree 231/2001<br />
On 28 June 2007, the Company approved and adopted the<br />
Organizational and Management Model drawn up pursuant to and<br />
for the intents and purposes of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, of<br />
which the Code of Ethics is to be deemed to form an integral and<br />
significant part.<br />
The Model is made up of a first general part, aimed at illustrating<br />
the function and principles of the Model itself, as well as the<br />
contents of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 and the main<br />
reference regulations, and a second specific part, setting forth<br />
the procedure of the adoption of the Model by the Company, and<br />

the risk profiles identified in each operating unit, the structure<br />
and functioning of the Supervisory Body together with the<br />
information flows towards the said Supervisory Body, training and<br />
information activities, the disciplinary system and the procedures<br />
for updating the Model.<br />
The Supervisory Body in charge of overseeing the functioning of<br />
and compliance with the said Model and updating the same is<br />

CORPORATE SOCIAL<br />
RESPONSIBILITY<br />
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of Maire<br />
<strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s vision of global sustainability, as a multi-level approach<br />
to promote the proper economic and financial management of the<br />
Company, as well as positive relations with society and the<br />
environment. Sustainability encompasses all the economic,<br />
environmental and social dimensions of the Company’s life, by<br />
means of ethical commitment, high quality standards, and<br />
transparent relations with all its stakeholders. These elements are<br />
of paramount importance in gaining and safeguarding a recognized<br />
competitive advantage in terms of international reputation. The<br />
people of our Group have long experience of working in a wide range<br />
of countries and cultures. They are well aware of the fundamental<br />
importance of proper transparent relationships with clients and<br />
local communities based on respect for their different cultures and<br />
flexibility in meeting local socio-economic and environmental<br />
needs. Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> views acting responsibly as thinking of the<br />
community in its widest, most universal sense, through human<br />
development projects ranging from educational and social<br />
promotion to cultural heritage programmes. The following were the<br />
main CSR initiatives of the Group in 2008.<br />
Acqua Acetosa Fountain Restoration, Rome<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is among the sponsors of the project for the<br />
creation of the Acqua Acetosa Fountain Park in Rome, promoted<br />
by the Municipality of Rome’s Cultural Heritage Office and Circolo<br />
Canottieri Aniene. The project involves the restoration of the<br />
famous ornamental seventeenth century fountain, redevelopment<br />
of the surrounding area for public enjoyment, creation of a park<br />
and the improvement of access facilities. This prestigious project,<br />
lasting 17 weeks, will restore a well known monument of Rome to<br />
its former splendour.<br />

“In the Open” Project<br />
The Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> Group is celebrating several important<br />
anniversaries in 2008-2009: 25 years since the foundation by<br />
Fabrizio Di Amato of the Maire companies in Rome, 35 years since<br />
the foundation of <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, and 50 years since the foundation of<br />
the Indian subsidiary T<strong>ICB</strong> and the French subsidiary Sofregaz.<br />
The painter Antonio Pauciulo was given the task of depicting the<br />
places and people of Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> in their daily work so that<br />
these anniversaries will not only be celebrated in memory but will<br />
also be the inspiration for something new. The artist analyses and<br />
depicts the world of complex engineering through a real<br />
experience of visiting places and meeting people. The world of<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been represented through the metaphor of<br />
"the human world", considering three aspects of the Company:<br />
the expertise of those involved (people), the geographical<br />
situation and organization of space (places), and the cultural and<br />
social situation (community). Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> people work in<br />
offices and construction sites, belong to different cultures and<br />
ethnic groups, and live in different parts of the world. The fact<br />
that they collaborate so successfully shows that diversity is an<br />
indispensable value that is not in conflict with cooperation, but<br />
actually consolidates a more complex idea of unity. The complex<br />
world of Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> will be represented through eight<br />
paintings in a polyptych, a series of images held together by a<br />
formal, compositional and iconographic theme.<br />
Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> Rugby Monza<br />
For the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> will be the title sponsor of ASD Rugby<br />
Monza 1949. All the teams of the historic Lombard club will adopt the Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> Rugby Monza<br />
name. This social responsibility sponsorship programme is focused on education and social inclusion<br />
of young people in deprived areas by promoting sport and fitness issues as well as ethical values. To<br />
experience the values embodied in the game of rugby – team spirit, a healthy competitive attitude,<br />
respect for one’s opponent and a strict regard for the rules - is a way to promote positive educational<br />
ideals in practice. These values are shared by Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> employees in their day-by-day work<br />
around the world. The Rugby Monza Sporting Club, which has 14 senior and junior teams and more<br />
than 300 player-members, has been undertaking educational and social inclusion activities for young<br />
people for many decades. It is currently promoting the game of rugby and its values in a deprived area<br />
of Italy where young people are at risk of social marginalization, through a training programme<br />
involving 14 schools, 80 classrooms and 2,500 students.<br />
Training Centre in Chile<br />
In the framework of the Santa María Thermal Power Plant Project<br />
in southern Chile, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong>, jointly with the client, Colbún<br />
SA, has started an educational project aimed at providing the local<br />
community with the training and skills needed for various jobs on<br />
site. The specific target has been to organize a multi-functional<br />
training centre to train new employees in HSE issues, as well as<br />
providing vocational training for the local population. Specific<br />
training sessions focused on safety and environment are<br />
provided as a pre-condition for site access and recruitment. The<br />
vocational training centre has been set up in cooperation with the<br />
Centro Educacional de Alta Tecnología (CEAT – High Technology<br />
Educational Centre) in San Pedro de la Paz, Concepción. All new<br />
staff of Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> sub-contractors on site pass through the<br />
centre, where the Group’s HSE staff provide key information on<br />
the power project, particularly on workplace risks and health,<br />
safety and environmental issues. The training centre has had a<br />
positive impact on the workers since its inception, by spreading<br />
unified criteria and a single HSE approach to the different tasks<br />
on site. In addition to HSE training, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> finances four<br />
vocational courses: electrical engineering, welding, plumbing,<br />
and electro-mechanical instrumentation. Each course is attended<br />
by about 15 participants and lasts for 40 hours. The minimum<br />
admission requirement is a primary school diploma or, in some<br />
cases, attendance at higher-level school. The full-day courses<br />
require a minimum 80% attendance and include final test<br />
evaluations. Each student receives a practical learning text and a<br />
daily allowance for travel and lunch. The training centre project is<br />
seen as an instrument of educational and social empowerment of<br />
the local population.<br />
