Larsen and Toubro’s (L&T) Energy Hydrocarbon business has secured a significant contract from the Saipem & Clough joint venture (SCJV) in Australia.

Within this order, the company needs to create and deliver process and pipe rack modules for a 2.3 million metric tons per annum urea plant for Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilisers.

The company said in a regulatory filing that the said plant will be constructed on the Burrup Peninsula and will be the largest urea plant in Australia and one of the largest in the world.

The said contract is estimated to be between Rs 1,000 – 2,500 crore.

L&T Hydrocarbon business vertical caters to the entire hydrocarbon value chain covering oil and gas processing, fertiliser sectors, and petroleum refining, chemicals and petrochemicals.

The project involves building approximately 50,000 metric tons of modules that must be delivered in 32 months. The modules will be developed at the company’s Kattupalli Modular Fabrication Facility. They will be sent to the project site in Australia in a fully tested, pre-commissioned, and ready-to-install state.

Subramanian Sarma, Whole Time Director & Senior Executive Vice President of L&T’s Energy business, said, “This milestone aligns with our strategic goal of expanding geography and client base and underscores our commitment to extend the concept of modularisation to onshore projects”.
