BAM International has completed its €65 million project to construct the Aqaba LNG terminal for Aqaba Development Corp. (ADC).
The operating company of Royal BAM Group handed over the project on 23 June, two months ahead of schedule.
The LNG terminal forms part of ADC’s plan for developing Aqaba’s energy ports. The government has tasked ADC to develop Jordan’s energy intake capabilities to ensure a consistent supply of energy.
In partnership with sister company BAM Contractors from Ireland and Jordan’s engineering company MAG, BAM International designed, built and commissioned an LNG jetty with approach trestle, including the mechanical, engineering and piping services, buildings, infrastructure works and tug jetty berth for attending tugs within 17 months.
The civil works were designed by BAM’s engineering company BAM Infraconsult.
BAM has been active in Jordan since 2011. In 2014 BAM International completed the Aqaba New Port project for ADC and in 2013 Aqaba Container Terminal was delivered to APMT and ADC.
