Update on Arzew project in Algeria
Background
Awarded c.€27m contract in August 2010 for the Sonatrach GL3-Z LNG Project in Arzew, Algeria. Cape scope is for the total insulation works (insulation, fire-proofing & scaffolding)
Detailed project cost review in May 2012 identified a significant overspend, resulting in a £14m provision being recognised in H1 2012, as previously disclosed
Current Position
Experienced Cape leadership now in place
Substantial increase in skilled insulation resources now working on site replacing unproductive labour
Project management including improved monitoring and controls in place
Full inventory check completed – no new issues identified
Early days; good progress being made

enjoyed very high contract renewal rates due in large part to the embedded nature of the services.

Drivers of growth opportunities include: Commissioning of new plants in growth markets (LNG/GTL in Far East/Pacific Rim and
downstream in Gulf/Middle East Increasing maintenance requirements of ageing infrastructure in mature markets Increasing focus on safety by plant operators
