Amec Foster Wheeler wins contract in Mexico

Amec Foster Wheeler announced the award of a contract by Avanzia & Initec Energia for the design and supply of two Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) for the 615 MWe Comisión Federal de Electricidad’s Valle de Mexico II combined cycle power plant.

Under the contract, Amec Foster Wheeler will design, supply and provide erection and commissioning assistance for the two HRSGs to be installed on Siemens STG6-8000H gas turbines. The HRSGs will recover exhaust ‘waste’ heat from the gas turbines to generate steam for additional power, thereby improving the overall plant efficiency without increasing the fuel consumption. Commercial operation of the plant is scheduled for December 2017.

The contract requires 65% minimum national content for the HRSG supply. Amec Foster Wheeler is able to meet this requirement by combining its global expertise with strong local capability and relationships.

Gary Nedelka, Group President of Amec Foster Wheeler’s Global Power Group said:

“This is a significant award for Amec Foster Wheeler in the Mexican power market and it once again demonstrates how we can combine our global reach with local sourcing to meet local content requirements.”

Moving Abroad Checklist

Initial Considerations

Will your partner be travelling with you?

If so, what will they be giving up in your present home and will they be able to continue with their career in your new home? You will need to check whether a separate visa is required for your partner to work or if your visa gives that right. If they are unable to work you will need to decide on the effect on your finances and what alternatives are available to give a fulfilling life (home business, training, voluntary work).

Are you taking family with you?

Moving with family raises many exciting opportunities, but also can create challenges. The HSBC Expat Explorer survey indicates that expat kids can take six months to settle in to their new country (see article). Getting young or even older children to prepare to move and leave their friends and family behind can be a challenge and should be thought through.

The options for education is another area that needs to be thought through.

Moving your child to a new country with a different education system can be a great opportunity to broaden their experience, but if they are close to key exams the timing can make this inadvisable. If you do take your family with you, it is important to decide between joining the local school system or choosing an international school.

Where will you be living?

Whether you will be living in a house or apartment, furnished or unfurnished, these decisions will affect what you need to take with you. The time you are planning to live overseas will also affect whether you should leave your property at home empty, rent it out or sell it. See the article Sell, Store or Ship.
