FACTS & FIGURES - Tecnimont ICB

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