The Italian Group is in charge of carrying out a construction project at the Motor Oil Hellas refinery of Corinth.

The EPC Contractor Bonatti Group, servicing the energy sector, is going to execute the erection of all mechanical activities in the “New Naphtha Complex” inside the Motor Oil Hellas refinery of Corinth, in Greece.

The construction project has been assigned by Motor Oil Hellas and it is part of a broader development plan. Technip Energies is the EPCM Contractor. The mechanical completion of the project is foreseen in March 2022.

Bonatti has already worked in Greece, where it implemented the Greek section of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline. This new contract is a first significant step for growth in the country’s plant construction sector.

Among the factors that were decisive in ensuring Bonatti’s success are its ability to mobilise in very short time while ensuring top safety in spite of the pandemic crisis. This was possible thanks to resources already present in the country and to practised procedures, resulting from a structured approach to “local content”.

To execute the project Bonatti will count on the support of EKME, an important local company, in its capacity as nominated subcontractor. A choice perfectly in line with the intention of the final customer Motor Oil Hellas, which aims at enhancing local workforce and skills, something that Bonatti has always done and considers part of its DNA.
