## Converted Epoxy Resin Project 

Dow‘s positive evaluation of Chiyoda’s performance through the latex and the poly- styrene projects led to another EPC contract in the same city. 

Chiyoda was awarded an EPC contract for 41,000 tons per year converted epoxy resin plant in April 2001. 

We studied and analyzed the lessons learned in the previous two projects and reinforced our supervision of Chinese sub- contractors and vendors in executing this project. In addition, we concentrated on

From the initial latex project through the epoxy resin project, we posted a record of 3.6 million accident-free man-hours. 

This significant record not only places us in high esteem with our clients, but also helps establish Chiyoda as a trustworthy engineer-
