SKET Marks A Milestone in Overseas Market
Technical Exchanges with Technicians of Chad

The Geotechnical Surveying Project for 305-km Oil Pipeline between Ronier Oilfield and Ndjamena Refinery, which is contracted by MCC Shenkan Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. (SKET), was commenced recently in Chad. This is the largest overseas contract of SKET, and the event marks a full roll-out of overseas strategy for coping with the global financial crisis.
As per the contract, SKET will make a digital belt topographic map (1:2000) on the route of the abovementioned proposed oil pipeline. This is deemed to be a hard task in view of the distance, spanning area, complicated landform (comprising of desert, open forest and tropical rain forest), and poor conditions for transportation and operation.
The project is to be started from March 26, and the field operation will be completed on May 26, 2009. The quantity of work includes: 76 GPS points of D grade; a profile survey of 305 km; two topographic maps of 1:500, with a measuring area of 0.18 km2.
According to Executive Vice General Manager Wang Mingbao of SKET, the project in Chad is the prologue for the implementation of overseas strategy by SKET. In addition to the above, two agreements have been signed for surveying services respectively in Cambodia and Algeria, marking a well-begun of SKET in exploring the overseas market.
Wang pointed out that, the following three approaches would help enterprises to mitigate risks and achieve higher economic growth at the time of the prevailing hardships. First, identify yourself more accurately in the market. The best option is to extend a keen attention to the marketing in developing countries that offer huge potentials despite the global economic climate. Through technical cooperation, the growth potentials in the developing countries will be turned into the driving force for companies like SKET. Second, focus on projects with high technical content and evade from economic risks by means of technical advantages. Third, cooperate with internal and/or external powerful partners of MCC Group and thus enhance the capability of risk resistance.
