Al Hassan Engineering, one of Oman's leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, has opened a state-of-the-art fabrication and plant workshop in Nizwa.

The new facility is strategically located to cater to the requirements of some of the company's key projects in the oil and gas sector more efficiently through reducing the distance by 200km.

The facility was inaugurated by Hassan bin Ali Salman, the group's chairman, in a ceremony attended by Steve Scott, chief executive officer of Al Hassan Engineering, and other senior members of the management.

The newly built facility is spread over a 41,813 square metres land and is divided into three different sections, namely fabrication shop, plant central workshop and central warehouse to feed all the projects. The purpose-built facility with modern infrastructure provides a conducive environment for the employees who will be working there.

The new facility has also received the ASME certification following the assessment of the company's capabilities to demonstrate working and process compliance to quality control manual and technical competence for design, manufacture and assembly of pressure vessels andboilers and execution of repair works.

The earlier certifications received by the company were U, S and R. As part of its continued improvement, this time the company has added U2, PP and A to its previous certifications.

Commenting on the occasion, the chief executive officer of Al Hassan Engineering said, "To offer value to our customers has always been a priority for Al Hassan Engineering, and the launch of the new facility is testimony to that commitment. The new facility is well poised to enhance safety, maximise space utilisation and ensure faster deliveries for our projects."
