ECC’s services today cover a wide range of related industries offering EPC services for the Oil & Gas Industries with concentration on the following fields:

  • Oil & Gas
  • Petrochemical
  • Chemical Process Plants
  • Power
  • Water & Waste Water (Storage & Distribution)

Our self-dependent construction capabilities set us apart from other contractors. We bring our well established knowledge and experience to all our projects, while attending to the unique attributes of each location in terms of logistics, legalities, and market situation. Our well-trained and experienced personnel, with their varied backgrounds, can handle the toughest of project conditions as well as benefit from available human resources at each location weather qualified or trained by our staff. Moreover, our construction techniques are continuously updated to stay updated with the latest technologies in the  field of construction. Our designs and pre- fabrication works allow us to deliver material that leaves the minimal fabrication or adjustment works for the job sites. Our aim is to reduce crowing activities at site and minimizing risks of delays during the construction phase. In brief, we are capable of delivering complete projects starting from conceptual design to Engineering through to commissioning.

Being the basis of the development of the project and proper selection of equipment and material, ECC ’s engineering department lies at the heart of every project to ensure the quality of the project outcome and the safety of the solutions offered.

ECC’s engineering department offers reliable solution tailored to individual needs and requirements. However, our designs are always based on the relevant international standards and codes to produce cost effective solutions and accurate calculations that save operating and maintenance costs for our clients.

The engineering departments’ tasks include feasibility studies, concept design, review of client’s minimum technical requirements, design alternatives and new ideas to improve cost effectiveness of the design, and development of detailed design drawings and documents for construction teams to follow. Our designs adhere to the following methods and principles:

  • Compliance with all relevant international standards, regulations, codes and norms (Such as API, ASME, ASTM, NFPA, AWS, BSI, EN, IEC etc…).
  • Use of common industry practices and recognized/proven techniques, methods, equipment and material • Sustainability, energy efficiency, social responsibility and environmental awareness.
  • Safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness
  • Integrated project delivery throughout the complete project life cycle

Our multi-discipline departments cover all aspects of design/ engineering works in a turnkey project:

  • Civil Design: including foundations, roadworks, soil investigations, topographical surveys and steel structures design using Finite Element Analysis programs
  • Mechanical & Process Design: including Steel Storage Tanks design as per API 650/620, Pressure Vessels as per ASME Section VIII, Fire fighting systems as per NFPA, Process Flow Diagrams, P&IDs, Plant layout and Plant philosophy, Piping layout and Stress Analysis, Equipment sizing and selection
  • Electrical Design: including MV/LV Distribution Architectures, SLDs, plans and details, External & Internal Lighting, Small Power systems, Hazardous Area Classification, Equipment sizing and selection, Earthing & Lightning Protection Systems, Cathodic Protection Systems, Load calculations and motor starting studies
  • Instrumentation & Control Design: including Instruments specifications and selection, re detection & alarm systems, Control System architectures, Cause-effect matrices, ESD systems, Metering Systems, Tank Gauging & Inventory Management Systems and Generation of Loop diagrams and hookup drawings

Our aim of self-dependent works is to offer our customers the optimal solutions with least cost impact and a single point responsibility without the risk of duplication or fear of badly coordinated design and construction

ECC head office in Cairo is responsible for selecting suppliers, preparing of tender documents, sending out of inquiries, bids evaluation, submitting of technical material for approval, issuing of Purchase Orders, expediting, inspection, customs, clearance, inland transportation, warehousing and allocating to ensure material/equipment arrive at site as per project schedule.

ECC allocates the required professional personnel to carry out any procurement activity in accordance with project / client requirements. These activities are carried out by a Procurement Manager responsible for coordinating all related activities having direct responsibility for the department’s Project performance.

The Procurement Manager is assisted by a team of purchasing engineers; documents control personnel, quality engineers, expediting supervisor, vendor inspection supervisor, transportation supervisor, warehouse supervisor and all other necessary resources.

All of ECC manufacturing / fabrication is currently being carried out at ECC Heavy Industries premises in Cairo. On some projects, fabrication is carried out on site using modern machinery and technologies.

All manufacturing / fabrication processes are done based on detailed engineering drawings received from the Engineering department. The process is controlled by a production manager, Fabrication foremen and supervisors. Our prefabrication works are carefully designed to minimize any required site modifications or fabrication works. All material will be delivery properly tagged and ready to install, thus minimizing work space required and idle time for the construction crews.

The Procurement Manager is assisted by a team of purchasing engineers; documents control personnel, quality engineers, expediting supervisor, vendor inspection supervisor, transportation supervisor, warehouse supervisor and all other necessary resources.

Manufacturing as well as project sites are controlled by an inspection and testing process. This process identifies the critical hold points where to apply these tests.

Our Quality Assurance personnel are trained and continuously exposed to the latest testing methods and technologies, enabling them to carry out the testing procedures.

The whole process ensures that products as well as whole projects are completed and delivered to clients in time and safe and reliable for operation or production.
