Skikda New Industrial Zone
Industrial Master Planning of Petrochemical Complex
Skikda Algeria

Project Description
The development of Skikda into a major petrochemical hub required the implementation of an industrial master plan. Using oil as the basic feed stock, the master plan included multiple petrochemical processing facilities. A new infrastructure, including a new seaport, had to be developed to support the petrochemical complex. Gerhard Pichel, president of GPA, was the project principal on this industrial master plan while employed with another firm.
