L&T COMPLETES FABRICATION & DELIVERY OF 110 MODULES

has completed the fabrication and delivery of 110 modules weighing around 64,000 metric tonnes for Project CERES, a 2.3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) urea plant being developed in Karratha, Western Australia. The project, being developed by Perdaman Chemicals & Fertilisers under the Saipem-Clough joint venture, is Australia’s largest urea manufacturing plant. The modules were shipped to Karratha in 23 marine shipments after testing and pre-commissioning in India. With the completion of this project, the company now expects to tap a $20-30 billion market opportunity in modularisation over the next five years, as demand for modular construction rises globally amid labour shortages, extreme weather conditions and the increasing number of projects in remote locations.
