INEOS - Project Summer

Summary

Vynova is a leading European chemical manufacturer producing chlor-alkali products and vinyls. Its Runcorn facility plays a central role in the plastics and chemical industries, manufacturing Ethylene Dichloride (EDC), a key feedstock for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Project Summer focused on upgrading the EDC production line to deliver a state-of-the-art facility with improved efficiency and sustainability.

PrimaVision provided on-site programme controls and schedule management throughout the upgrade, embedding planning expertise within Vynova’s delivery structure. Our role ensured tailored Primavera outputs, real-time reporting, and commercial foresight—aligning delivery with operational, cost, and engineering objectives.
