MAIRE announces that its subsidiary Tecnimont (Integrated E&C Solutions BU) has successfully achieved the mechanical completion of the rehabilitation works of the old plant (Area 5) for a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), in Nigeria.

Our technological expertise and engineering know-how enable Nigeria to revive its natural resources management. This landmark required over 9.5 million manhours, resulting in an excellent Health, Safety and Environment performance with no Lost Time Injuries. This project is a confirmation of the Group’s commitment towards the Sub-Saharan Region.”
