Hanwha Engineering & Construction "Designs the World"

July 27, 2014


Hanwha Engineering & Construction ("E&C") is forging new global paths in the fields of plants, civil engineering works and construction on the strengths of proprietary technology, stable financial structure and 50-year experience in major construction fields.

The company is expanding its presence as a top global player by winning mega city projects like Bismayah New City, the largest construction project ever tendered in Iraq, as well as by building plants, a highly technology-and knowledge-intensive undertaking, and various landmarks, which require superb design and the latest technologies.

The Bismayah New City Project Builds Hope in Iraq

The Bismayah New City Project is a unique case in the world’s construction history: a single company will build a new city under a design–build contract, where one company carries out planning, procurement and construction. For this project, Hanwha E&C will build 100,000 homes, as well as the roads, incineration plants, and water and sewerage facilities to support them.

Iraq’s Bismayah Project will introduce Hanwha E&C’s technological prowess in systemization and mass production to the world. The company has comprehensive capabilities spanning design, procurement and construction for the mega city. By leveraging these capabilities, Hanwha E&C has already completed the world’s largest precast concrete (PC) plant, which is churning out building parts such as pillars and walls for the new city. The company will complete the city development using the parts in seven years – a short period for such a large development.

Through the Bismayah Project, Hanwha E&C is setting a new standard of civil work. Hanwha believes that new town developments should help boost the value of space and contribute to the harmonious development of societies.

Anlagenbau: Wo Hochtechnologie auf Hanwhas betriebliches Know-How trifft Im Gegensatz zu anderen Bereichen in der Konstruktion, braucht das Anlagengeschäft ein stabiles betriebliches Know-how, sowie Kapazitäten zur Konstruktion und zum Aufbau. Hanwha E&C ist es gelungen, sich einen festen Platz im Geschäft im Nahen Osten zu sichern, wo bisher viele Weltklasse-Anlage-Unternehmen miteinander in einem harten Wettbewerb stehen. Sie konnten das nur erreichen, indem sie die effiziente Anlagentechnik sowie ihr Expertenwissen im Bau und im Betrieb kontinuierlich anbieten konnten, auf einer Grundlage 50-jährigen Erfahrung im Bau von Chemieanlagen sowie mittelgroßen und großen Kombikraftwerken.

Plant Business: Where High Technologies Meet Hanwha’s Operational Know-How

Unlike other fields in construction, the plant business needs stable operational know-how, as well as quality assured Engineering, Procurement and Construction capabilities from initiation to the completion of projects. Hanwha E&C has succeeded in establishing a firm foothold in the Middle East – where many world-class plant companies are competing fiercely – by securing efficient plant technologies as well as expert knowledge in construction and operation based on its 50-year experience in the construction of chemical plants and mid-and large-sized combined cycle power plants.

Hanwha E&C has become a top global player in the plant business by winning the Marafiq Yasnbu I Power Plant construction order from MARAFIQ in 2009; the LPG Filling Plant construction bid from Kuwait Oil Tanker Company (KOTC); and Saudi Arabia’s 828Mw Power and Desalination Plant construction contract from MARAFIQ, which involves constructing power and desalination facilities in a lump sum turnkey engineering, procurement and construction project.

In addition, the company has continued to win contracts, as seen in its winning the Saudi Phosphoric Acid Plant project in 2014. When completed, the plant facility will produce 1.5 million tons of phosphoric acid every year in Umm Wu'al, 20km from Turaif in north Saudi Arabia.
