In mid-1997,Compañía Mega S.A., formed by YPF S.A., Petrobras and Dow Argentina decided to carry out a project that would fully exploit natural gas. With a total investment of 715 million USD, it was the first Large Industrial Project in the Energy industry within the MERCOSUR.
The project involved the construction of two facilities: a sorting plant and a fractionation plant both connected by a 600-km pipeline spanning across four provinces.
The Sorting Plant is located in the heart of the Argentine natural gas deposit known as Loma de La Lata, in the province of Neuquén.
The Fractionation Plant is located within Bahia Blanca's Petrochemical Center, which is the largest one in Argentina.
ALUAR Aluminio Argentino SAIC is the only primary aluminum producer in Argentina and one of the largest in South America. It exports 85% of its output, mainly to the USA, the European Union and Asia.
In mid-2005, the company started the works to double its output capacity, with an investment of over 1,200 million USD. The first stage started in September 2007 and soon afterwards, the second phase took place, thus reaching an output capacity of 460,000 tons a year.
In 2006, Construtora Norberto Odebrecht started the Expansion of the Firm Gas Transportation Capacity, spanning across 15 provinces in Argentina.
The project includes the construction of new "loops" (pipelines segments, parallel to the existing ones) in San Martin and Neba II gas pipelines, operated by TGS (Transportadora de Gas del Sur), and in Northern gas pipelines, operated by TGN (Transportadora de Gas del Norte); and the construction of Compressor Plants along them.
The pipelines, with a total length of 1,889 km, divided into 84 loops and 20 Compressor Plants (construction and/or adjustments), have a power capacity of 248.3 KHP, and can transport 15.4 million cubic meters of gas per day.
Of the total planned investment, about 880 million USD were provided by the BNDES (Brazilian Bank for Economic and Social Development), as one of its major international operations. They consist in 2 trust agreements, one with Rafael G. Albanesi S.A. and another with CAMMESA S.A.
Until the end of the project, the work will involve more than 200,000 tons of pipes imported from Brazil.
Total Cost of the Project: 320 million USD. Through the Port of Punta Quilla, in Santa Cruz, we shipped 38,000 meters of pipes (24 inches in diameter and 15.9 mm in thickness), including the anticorrosion and concrete coating of variable thickness, ranging between 70 and 130 millimeters, depending on the depth where each pipe would be installed.
In a historic crossing, Transportadora Gas del Sur undertook the challenge of laying a new 37-kilometer offshore pipeline, crossing the eastern mouth of the Strait of Magellan. These works were done in the context of a program developed by the Argentine Executive Power through the Energy Secretariat and ENARGAS, with the purpose of expanding the Firm Gas Transportation Capacity of General San Martín Gas Pipeline.
It is worth mentioning that this was the first time that Techint Engineering & Construction developed a complete Mining Project i.e. Management, Procurement Services, Commissioning, and Basic Engineering of an open pit mine. Its facilities can process 9,000 tons per day through flotation and gravity concentration. With Silver Standard Resources as the Client, and under an EPCM contract, the works included the execution of the civil and electrical infrastructure, the processing plant, the tailings dam and the mine infrastructure and service facilities.
Mina Pirquitas, located northeast of the Argentine province of Jujuy, has an estimated annual output of 9,000,000 ounces of silver, 2,300 tons of tin and 6,000 tons of zinc.
With an investment of 2,800 Million USD, the Plant located in Tigre will meet the current demand for drinking water as well as the future demand resulting from the planned expansion, while ensuring the necessary quality and quantity of water and allowing the temporary closure of the water ring in the concession.
The project includes the development of the work on three fronts: the construction on the intakes in Lujan and Paraná rivers, the construction of the plant, and the pipelines connecting the intakes with the plant and the plant with the water system.
With an investment of 500 million USD, the project includes the construction of a Water Sewage Treatment Plant in Berazategui, in the Province of Buenos Aires.

The main part of the project was shipped through the Port of Comodoro Rivadavia and then moved to the Free Zone, due to its suspension.
Odebrecht was awarded the construction of the first Continuous Catalytic Reforming Plant (C.C.R) in the country, by the oil company YPF. The project demanded the largest investment in the last 10 years in the refining sector of Argentina, and it is intended to meet the increasing demand for high-quality fuels.
The new C.C.R. plant has state-of-the-art features, similar to the ones that have been adopted by most global oil companies, and led to improvements in terms of productivity, safety and environmental protection.
About 700 people will be employed for the construction of the new plant, which required 34 months of work and will start operating in 2012. The production rate will be 200,000 tons of aromatic compounds a year, which can be used as gasoline octane improvers, intended for automotive use.
Likewise, it will produce 15,000 tons of hydrogen a year, which will allow the processing of hydrogen for fuel to improve the quality and decrease the content of sulfur, further reducing the environmental impact of internal combustion engines.
The export of a 30-million-USD Ship Unloader Gantry Crane for Alcoa World Alumina Brasil Participacoes Ltda., had the Port of Sao Luis do Maranhao, Alumar, as the destination port.
We handled one of the most important shipments in the country, with a total weight of 1,800 tons, 65 m in height, 25 m in width and 85 m in length.
On August 16, 2011, we began the transfer of the first star of 10 turbines of Kaplan that IMPSA Industrias Metalúrgicas Pescarmona S.A. is exporting for Tocoma Hydroelectric Power Plant, in Venezuela.
This piece, which is 11 meters in diameter and 110 tons in weight, required a complex logistics transfer from the company's plant in Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, to the port of Zárate.
By 2013, ten turbines in the central state of Bolivar, Venezuela will have been built, generating 223 megawatts (MW) each and 2,200 megawatts (MW) in all. It will become one of the largest projects in Latin America and a worldwide record.
IMPSA Wind provides EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) services and it supplies the equipment on a turnkey basis. This includes the supply, engineering and wind studies, the supply of 24 IWP2, 1MW wind turbines, the SCADA system for remote monitoring, a transformer substation, transportation, installation and commissioning.
With an investment of 11,700 million USD, the works on the Undergrounding of Sarmiento Railway Line, including the construction by the Consorcio Nuevo Sarmiento (CNS) U.T.E. IECSA, Construtora Norberto Odebrecht, COMSA and Ghella SpA, consisted of 32.6 kilometers of tunnels under its current trace and the revamping of all underground stations connecting Caballito with Moreno. In this initial stage, we shipped a 2,100-ton tunneling machine from Germany (12.5 meters in diameter and 125 meters in length) through the Port of Zárate, for a value of 12 million EUR.
Container Terminal Project at the Port of La PlataIt is the most important Port Work of the last one hundred years.
The project of the Terminal at the Port of La Plata required an investment of 385 million USD, and its completion took more than three years. The work belongs to International Container Terminal Services Inc. (Ictsi) For a total value of 80 million USD, we have recently shipped four Gantry Cranes, seven Patio Cranes and other equipments to serve the internal logistics of the Terminal in the stowage area.
Florencio Randazzo with the Governor of Buenos Aires, Daniel Scioli, and the Mayor of General Pueyrredón, Gusto Pulti and the Production Minister of Buenos Aires Province, Cristian Breitenstein, visited the Chinese teams that performed the dredging of the Port of Mar del Plata.
The work was in charge of SERVIMAGNUS S.A. - SDC DO BRASIL SERVICIOS MARITIMOS Ltda. - ROWING S.A. and SERVIDRAGA S.A. UTE. To execute this work we had to temporarily import the Beng Hai Xin Hang Bo Dredger and the 2002 and 2003 Hang Bocame Barges from China after a three- month voyage.
The funding for the work responds to a policy laid down by Governor Scioli and the National Government of Argentina to double the capacity of the ports in the Province of Buenos Aires.
Solar San Juan is the large project of San Juan Governor, Jose Luis Gioia, to turn San Juan into the largest producer of solar panels in South America. It will comprise all the steps for the assembling of panels: cells, panels, wafers and ingots. The whole process was handled by the German company Schmid Group, experts in solar panels.
The factory will occupy 15,000 square meters and will be located in the industrial park of 9 de Julio. It will have 3 production lines that will use 567 tons of solar silicon per year and will employ about 300 people. The total investment is about139 million EUR.
