Tecnimont
REB + Skikda BOO Logistics Bases
Two consecutive Build-Own-Operate contracts for a Tier-1 Italian EPC contractor. We owned and operated the utility infrastructure over the contract life — operator-grade work, not subcontracting.

Two BOO Contracts, Same Client
Tecnimont engaged the team — under Badou Ba's PMO leadership at RedMed Group — for two consecutive Build-Own-Operate logistics-base contracts on Algerian refinery EPC scope. BOO is fundamentally different from camp subcontracting: AYMTEC's predecessor team carried capex on its balance sheet, operated the utility infrastructure (power generation and water/wastewater treatment) to lender-grade standards, and stayed embedded as the operating partner for the duration of each contract.
Rhourde El Baguel (REB)
- Logistics base offices for Tecnimont's project team
- 300 PAX worker accommodation
- BOO power generation
- BOO water and wastewater treatment
Skikda Refinery
- Logistics base offices for Tecnimont's project team
- BOO power generation
- BOO water and wastewater treatment
- No accommodation in this scope (workforce housed elsewhere)
The repeat-client signal is the strongest data point in this case. Tecnimont — a Tier-1 EPC contractor with global procurement options — chose to bring the team back for a second contract after the first. That doesn't happen by accident in EPC procurement; it happens when a partner delivered the first contract on time, on standard, and without surprises.
Operator, Not Subcontractor
Most camp providers bill per bed-night and walk away when the project ends. That's a transactional relationship, and it gets priced like one.
BOO operators carry capex on their balance sheet, take operating risk over the contract life, and run the infrastructure to standards that survive lender audits and IOC HSE reviews.
On Tecnimont's REB and Skikda contracts, the team was responsible for power and water availability 24/7 across the contract duration — utilities that the EPC contractor's schedule depended on directly.
This is the same DNA AYMTEC carries today into Service Line 1 (EPC Logistics Base Delivery & Operations).
