Intratec plant cost indexes and location factors are based on prices trends of fundamental components of a chemical plant construction such as labor, material, energy and inflation, from several countries.

A series of specific and general price indexes, evaluated by Intratec consultant's as fundamental for the construction of chemical plants, are combined to reasonably reflect their relative importance. In other words, the weighting of such values provides a historical comparison of generic chemical plants capital costs.

The plant cost indexes and location factors presented are refreshed on a monthly basis, as new information is obtained. However, it is important to highlight that the frequency which specific regional data is actually updated depends on how often official sources from countries from those regions report that data.

In this context, by the end of each month - typically in the second or third week -, Intratec team updates indexes and location factors with data of the previous month.
