August has seen the passing of a couple of safety milestones for the team in Sakhalin. The team have surpassed 11 million manhours LTI free this month. This is truly a proud achievement for the team locally and the whole of Kentech. In order to achieve a milestone like this, you need a workforce built on mutual respect and a safety culture which leaves no room for compromise.
Kentech Qatar have been working on the C8 Effluent Treatment Plant of the O2 Pearl project since 2008 and recently attended a Safety Day where they were presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for their contribution towards achieving 19 million manhours on the project without a Lost Time Incident.
On the 19th October 2011 Kentech Sakhalin were awarded the 2011 Sakhalin-1 Contractor of the Year in recognition of Excellence in Safety at the annual Exxon Neftegas Limited Contractor Safety, Security, Health and Environment Forum held in the Sakhalincenter, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

The project comprises the full Construction Scope of Works – Civil, Mechanical, Piping, Tanks, Electrical, & Instrumentation associated with the build of a complete Oxygen Plant and will be constructed with our partner Grupo IMA.
