Lamor wins a five-year soil remediation contract - local business growing in Oman

Lamor has been awarded a five-year soil remediation frame agreement in Oman to remediate oil-polluted soil according to the customer’s needs. The polluted soil origins from oil excavation and drilling operations and is transported to a specific remediation area.

The estimated value of services during the contract period is below half a million euros.

During summer, Lamor has won several contracts from Omani customers for a range of services, some of which include a longer-term continuous stand-by service. Lamor has had long presence in the country, with Lamor Middle East LLC established in 2006. Over the years, revenue has gradually increased.

”Our growing operations in Oman are a good example of our ‘Land and expand’ strategy in action in the Middle East. We continue to strengthen our footing in the region, working with local customers to improve oil spill response capabilities and help in soil remediation projects”, says Johan Grön, CEO of Lamor.

Lamor working on several sites to prevent and clean environmental incidents

In one location, Lamor signed a three-year agreement to help an oil industry customer in oily waste processing by skimming off the oil from evaporation ponds. In another site, Lamor safely transferred improperly stored acid to secure containers, preventing further environmental hazards, and remediated the acid-contaminated soil to restore the site.

For a lively marina in the country’s capital Muscat, Lamor conducted a comprehensive risk assessment to identify all potential hazards related to marina operations and environment. “In case of potential future oil spills, we established a stand-by agreement for rapid response to protect the environment, while also empowering the marina's team to manage daily operations safely and maintain the risk assessment themselves”, tells Amur Al Rubaiai, General Manager of Lamor Middle East LLC, Oman.

Finally, Lamor provided stand-by support for repair of broken underground oil pipeline, ensuring safe and efficient operation. While the pipeline was exposed for repairs, Lamor experts were ready at the site to vacuum the dig in case the oil pipe had started to leak.

“We are very happy to help our customers maintain a high environmental performance in a safe manner. For our customers, sustainable operations are essential to safeguard the unique environment and nature of Oman, which we happily support”, says Al Rubaiai.

Oman is the oldest independent state in the Arab world. It is strategically placed at the mouth of the Gulf at the south-east corner of the Arabian Peninsula. The economy is based on oil, fishing and agriculture.
