Kazazot Prime Limited Liability Partnership has awarded Técnicas Reunidas a major Project Management Consultancy contract for the development of a massive ammonia and urea complex in Aktau, south-western Kazakhstan.
The project is set to become Kazakhstan’s largest integrated fertilizer production facility, with a combined 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.
The large-scale industrial complex, located in the capital of Mangystau Province, will comprise production units for ammonia, urea, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate, alongside supporting infrastructure, utilities, storage facilities, bagging operations and dispatch systems.
Under the newly awarded contract, Técnicas Reunidas will oversee the project's entire development lifecycle, providing management and coordination services across engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and final handover.
The company will act on behalf of Kazazot Prime LLP, managing and supervising the project's execution and coordinating with the main contractor responsible for the physical construction of the facility.
The agreement includes the deployment of a comprehensive management and technical team, which will be expanded as the project progresses. Effective from the final month of October, the contract will remain in force until the plant is commissioned.
The award marks another milestone in the relationship between Kazazot Prime LLP and Técnicas Reunidas. The two companies had previously joined forces in January 2023, when they signed a contract for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) of the same industrial complex.
More significantly, the latest agreement represents Técnicas Reunidas' first-ever Project Management Consultancy contract in Kazakhstan, opening the door to a new portfolio of specialised, high-value services for clients across the region.
The contract also supports a central pillar of the company's SALTA Strategic Plan: expanding its business through the acquisition of service contracts.
Técnicas Reunidas expects to secure approximately €400 million in contracts of this type over the course of this year, reinforcing its ambition to generate €500 million in revenue from these activities by 2028.
The Kazakhstan award thus delivers a double strategic win for the engineering group: a stronger presence in a key Central Asian market and a significant step towards expanding its high-value consultancy and project management business.
