The project includes EPC services for a 10,000MT full containment ammonia storage tank, along with associated piping to grade, and ten API650 storage tanks. The project will be managed from CB&I's Perth office, with engineering, fabrication, and tank construction support provided by CB&I’s offices in Plainfield, Illinois (USA), and Thailand.

Construction activities are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025, with project completion targeted for 2028.

The Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilisers facility will be the world’s largest gas stream ammonia-urea plant. The Burrup Peninsula is located approximately eight kilometers from Dampier and 20 kilometers northwest of Karratha on Western Australia's northwest coast.

CB&I defines a sizeable contract as valued between USD $10 million and $50 million.
