Siam Cement and PTT gearing up
Some projects ready to start up this year
RAYONG : The industrial heavyweights Siam Cement Group (SCG) and PTT Chemicals Plc (PTTCH) expect some of their suspended projects in Map Ta Phut will be operational within this year as most are not on the government's list of harmful activities.
Cholanat Yanaranop, president of SCG Chemicals, said five or six of SCG's 18 suspended projects in the industrial estate had completed construction and were ready to operate immediately once they receive operating permits.
The others could come onstream within the next year, he said, adding that the group was committed to completing health impact assessment (HIA) reports of all 18 halted projects.
