- Project update on Borealis’ Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) plant construction in Kallo, Belgium
According to the company’s website news release on April 28, 2023, the re-tendering process of the construction works that was started after Borealis terminated all contracts with the IREM group of companies, Borealis’ main contractor for the construction of its new PDH plant in Kallo, has now been completed.
With this, the construction of this mega project is now back on track. Works will again fully ramp up during the summer of 2023.
The re-tendering, re-mobilisation, poor handover and inefficiencies caused by the termination of the IREM contracts results in significant delays. Borealis’ new PDH plant in Kallo is now estimated to start up in the first half of 2025.
The updated project plan provides for a substantial increase in costs.
As a consequence of the increased cost and longer lead-time, Borealis is claiming compensation from the IREM companies.
