THIEMT has been awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract by FLUOR.
Scope of work is the preplanning and creating a project-study of a laboratory for quality and production control of a new petrochemical project located in Qatar and operated by a joint venture (JV) of SHELL and QATAR PETROLEUM (QP).
This is a technical project study that is consistent with an exact preliminary planning and also serves to calculate the budget. The complete laboratory will be planned: the laboratory rooms, the laboratory furniture, the analytics as well the work processes and the choice of the complete equipment and materials that will be needed for the use of the laboratory. Furthermore the complete laboratory organisation will be pre-planned: Concepts for the utilities supply, data handling (LIMS), waste disposal and so on.
