• ensuring booking of some raw material in an
overheated market quite early in the project;
• large use of vendors already adopted in Borouge
2 project case, as well as vendors adopted by
other contractor in projects for other Adnoc
Companies, to maximize previous positive
experiences, long term reliability equipment and
availability of efficient post sales services;
• placing of frame agreements with selected
vendors for specific items, as proactive approach
to material standardization requirement and better
control over sub-vendor performances;
• advance availability of material for steel structures
erection and pipe fabrication was available on site
as per the feasibility curves shared with erection
subcontractors;
• extensive sessions of Factory Acceptance Tests
for DCS (Distributed Control System) and related
control logics in the vendor premises together
with process and automation project leaders, to
assure a positive performance of interlocks and
functional checks during commissioning stage at
site.
Subcontracting strategy
The construction works were implemented through a
pool of specialized subcontractors splitting the overall
scope of work by discipline, such as civil, mechanical,
electrical and instrumentation. This approach was
mainly dictated by the need of finding valuable and
enough resources in the market and by the intention to
minimize the risk of failure of a general subcontractor to safety on site.

requirements from several perspectives.

for the joint venture, especially in meeting the highest
demand of flexibility imposed by the typology of the
works and in the proactive approach put in place to
handle interfaces among subcontractors.
Direct manpower injections have been extensively
used by the joint venture as countermeasure to boost
the progress in specific activities and to sustain
subcontractors performance to achieve the challenging
targets set up by the project needs. Moreover, the joint
venture has also introduced engineers in subcontractors
organizations to make sure the correct understanding
of contractor deliverables and expectations in specific
tasks.
HSE performance
Safety, environment and the wellbeing of all the
individuals building the plant were of paramount
importance for the Tecnimont and Samsung
Engineering, as well as for all the stake holders,
Borouge at first. The contractors and subcontractors
complied not only with the HSE (Health Safety
Environment) standards of the Adnoc Group, but they
took several new initiatives in this respect.
Incident Injury Free program, incentives, safety awards
and many similar initiatives assimilated the “safety first”
message to all the personnel bringing a culture of
safety awareness in the entire project. A permanent
training center was established at site by contractor
where all the employees, including vendors and labors,
have been specifically trained to be able to safely cope
with the tasks they were called for. The below
recognition of intermediate safety achievement was
distributed to all the thousands of people present at
site, as sign of appreciation of their attitude versus
