Rolta India has been awarded a multi million dollar contract from Sadara Chemical Company to implement a comprehensive engineering system at its complex in Saudi Arabia. This is to be the world’s largest petrochemical facility ever built in a single phase.
The value of the contract was not disclosed. The project will be managed by a global Rolta team working out of the United States, India and Saudi Arabia, and will be completed by late 2014.
