PROJECTS:
WE MAKE IT WORK
Bilfinger covers the entire lifecycle of chemi-
cal & petrochemical infrastructure. Whether
we are talking about process units in the base
chemical industry, furnaces and steam genera-
tors in the petrochemical industry or process
utilities and steam supply piping systems –
Bilfinger does the design, procurement and
fabrication as well as construction. We also
take care of the subsequent maintenance of
your assets.

The Bilfinger concept for full project responsi-

bility ranges from technical advisory services
to mechanical completion and commissioning,
including specific technologies for furnaces
and boilers as well as for gas treatment pro-
cess units.

Building on a strong reputation for excellent

service in the international process industry,
Bilfinger is keen to take on assignments for
a wide range of project sizes, supported by
in-house piping and module fabrication facili-
ties and a comprehensive network of service
delivery points. Our high-end process control
systems ensure the safe and reliable operation
of your plants.

BILFINGER AT A GLANCE
Our organization along two complementary business segments enables us to accompany
our customers along the entire life cycle of their assets: the capex side is covered by our
Engineering & Technologies (E&T) segment, while our Maintenance, Modifications &
Operations (MMO) segment addresses the opex side. Within E&T, we develop, construct and
expand industrial plants. Within MMO, we assume responsibility for industrial maintenance.
And while the MMO segment offers its services locally in four core regions, E&T is a project
and technology business with an international setup.

We have a particular focus

on six industries:

Oil & Gas Chemicals & Energy & Oil & Gas, Chemicals &
