Italy's Maire Tecnimont and its joint-venture partner Samsung Engineering of South Korea were awarded a contract to build two enhanced polyethylene and polypropylene units. The pair were also awarded a contract worth $400 million for the construction of a low density polyethelene unit. The annual capacity of the polyethylene units stands at 1.08 million tpy, while annual polyprolylene units have a capacity of 960,000 tpy.

A $935 million contract for the utilities and off-site facilities for the expanded plant was awarded to Hyundai Engineering and Construction of South Korea.
