Kazazot Prime Limited Liability Partnership (Kazazot Prime LLP) has awarded Técnicas Reunidas the Project Management Consultancy services contract (PMC) for the ammonia and urea complex it is developing in Aktau, the capital of Mangystau Province, in south-western Kazakhstan.

This large industrial complex includes production units for ammonia, urea, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate, as well as ancillary facilities, general services, storage, bagging and associated dispatch systems.

The plant will have an annual production capacity of 660,000 tonnes of ammonia, 577,500 tonnes of urea, 395,000 tonnes of nitric acid and 500,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate. These figures will make it Kazakhstan’s largest combined fertilizer production facility.
The contract scope stipulates that Técnicas Reunidas will provide project management services throughout the complex’s development, including the engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover phases.

It will therefore manage, supervise and coordinate the project’s development in its entirety, acting on behalf of Kazazot Prime LLP in dealings with the main contractor responsible for the physical construction of the facility.

The contract awarded to Técnicas Reunidas includes a comprehensive management and technical team that will be expanded as required. The contract, which came into force in the last month of October, will remain in force until the facility is commissioned.

This contract award builds on and strengthens the relationship between Kazazot Prime LLP and Técnicas Reunidas, as both parties had already signed a contract in January 2023 for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) of this same industrial complex.

Furthermore, the agreement now signed with Kazazot Prime LLP is the first PMC (Project Management Consultancy) contract secured by Técnicas Reunidas in Kazakhstan, paving the way for the development of a new range of specialized, high value-added services for its clients in the region.

Furthermore, this contract award aligns with one of the main pillars of the company’s SALTA Strategic Plan: strengthening its efforts to secure service contracts.

Técnicas Reunidas estimates that it will secure contracts of this type totaling around 400 million euros over the course of this year, enabling it to confirm its target of reaching 500 million euros in revenue from these activities by 2028.
