Book excerpt: This is the story of the largest industrial petrochemical project ever. A single $20-Billion investment. A true GIGA project. A decade in the making, this intriguing story tells of Sadara's optimistic beginnings, a near-death crisis, its fragile rebirth, sobering pivotal conflicts, and its resounding triumph. It's also a human story of a team struggling against the odds of unrelenting tsunami-type challenges, while battling to gain its identity amidst the cultural juxtaposition of two thriving but very different global companies. While most GIGA projects fail, this book outlines the innovative techniques used to deliver this massively complex yet successful project. In so doing, it provides perhaps the only glimpse into the inner-workings of a successful GIGA project. It is also a discourse in pragmatic real-life project management accessible by all in the projects industries.
