Once the study is complete, Shaw expects to contract with Saudi Electricity to provide the modification services for those plants.

Shaw has completed a grassroots ethylene plant in Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia, and has operations and offices in locations throughout the region. The company offers a portfolio of nuclear, fossil and renewable power expertise.

JM Bernhard Jr, chairman, president and CEO of Shaw, said: “Shaw has a unique position in the power industry that allows us to provide multi-faceted services for our clients. In addition to the contracted work on the existing power plants, we believe our relationship and previous experience in the area, along with our leading position in the nuclear industry, positions us for significant future opportunities in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Middle East. We are looking forward to a long, successful relationship with Saudi Electricity Company.”

Shaw is a provider of engineering, construction, technology, fabrication, remediation and support services for clients in the energy, chemicals, environmental, infrastructure and emergency response industries.
