Working on a project of this scale requires extensive planning – even more so in an environment laced with safety and security concerns.
Considering the unique requirements and challenges of the project, Aggreko worked closely with the client, liaising over several designs and layouts until an ideal solution was reached.
Speed of delivery was crucial for this project as production couldn’t be compromised. Having access to a global network meant we could supply the required equipment from our pool of regional depots in just a short span of time.
We provided 29 generators, capable of producing a total of 15MW power through two feeders of 11KV and 33KV, all shipped in from our regional headquarters in Jebel Ali, Dubai.
Owing to the location’s hostile environment, several safety procedures had to be put into place for the entire site, including staff accommodation being enclosed by HESCO security barriers with armed guards for 24/7 protection.
All personnel working on the project were provided with bespoke Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) to ensure a firm understanding and implementation of safety protocols within the site.
To ensure smooth running of the refinery with no shutdowns, we provided 15 technicians for the project who were stationed on-site around the clock. Following in-country labour requirements, 50% of the manpower was sourced from local areas, who were trained to handle our equipment while following strict safety protocols.
From the time we received the enquiry to the final completion of the power grid, it took us only three months to complete the entire operation including design, delivery and full installation.
