AMEC awarded £70 million asset support contracts by SABIC UK Petrochemicals

AMEC has been awarded two asset support contracts by chemical giant
SABIC UK Petrochemicals Limited. The first is a £30 million asset support contract for plant turnaround
services for SABIC's petrochemicals assets at Wilton and North Tees in
the North East of England. The award, an extension to an existing
contract,is for planning, preparation, execution and management of
resource and supply chain for major turnarounds and will run through to
2014. It includes SABIC's Aromatics, Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and
Olefins plants.

The second is a three year, £40 million extension to an existing
integrated maintenance contract, also at Wilton and North Tees, which
will also run through to 2014.

Both contracts will be managed from AMEC's Wynyard office, and together
will secure continued employment for over 220 personnel in the North
East and create up to 500 new jobs on the plant turnarounds.

"I am delighted that our successful delivery for SABIC over the last
five years - safely, on budget and to time - has given us such an
excellent relationship with this valued customer," said John Pearson,
Managing Director of AMEC's Europe & West Africa business. "This latest
contract reinforces AMEC's position as the leading provider of
turnaround services to the UK's petrochemical sector."

AMEC's excellent safety record on the existing contracts has been
recognised both by SABIC and externally. In 2010 AMEC was awarded
SABIC's EHSS (Environment, Health, Safety and Security) global award for
contractors and in 2011 AMEC won a 'Special Category Award' at the North
of England Excellence Awards (NofEE).
