Working closely with its Uralsk-based partner in Kazakhstan, Skema was responsible for the provision of the PMCC switchboards for the Atyrau Refinery. The project proved to be a success thanks both to the experience acquired by Skema in the Kazakh market since 1997, which it was able to leverage fully, and to the important technology transfer programme estabished with its Kazakh partner. The commissioning was carried out by local electrical engineers, under the supervision of Skema’s site services manager.
Over the course of the project, Skema- developed an excellent co-operative relationship with the client, JGC, and the two companies worked in tandem to engineer the best possible solutions.
