ExxonMobil Fawley Petrochemical Complex Upgrade

We are working with ExxonMobil on their £800 million investment to upgrade the Fawley Petrochemical Complex, the UK’s largest integrated petrochemical site. This transformative project is scheduled for completion in 2026 and forms a key part of ExxonMobil’s strategy to enhance fuel production capabilities and support energy resilience in the UK.

Our scope of work includes:

• Project management

• Engineering and procurement

• Module fabrication and logistics

• Completions and commissioning

The project was awarded in March 2022 to an alliance comprising Kent, Taylor Woodrow, and BGEN. The alliance is responsible for the construction, completion, and commissioning of a new Diesel Hydrotreater and a Steam Methane Reforming Hydrogen Plant. The scope also covers associated foundations, equipment, pipework, electrical, and instrumentation works.

Once operational, the upgrade will enable the production of low-sulphur diesel aligned with the Euro 7 emissions standards set for 2025. It is expected to increase diesel production at Fawley by 40% and reduce diesel imports to the UK by approximately 25%.
