Dubai-based Emirates Electrical Engineering (EEE) has announced that it has bagged two major cabling projects from the Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA).
The first project involves the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of two 132kV cable circuits of 1.6 kilometres each between the CARX 400/132kV substation and Nad Al Hammar 132kV substation. A major portion of the works of this project, expected to be completed over the next 13 months, will be under the Overhead Line corridor near the CARX substation. The power cables and accessories for the project are being procured from South Korean companies LS Cable and Taihan.
The second project involves replacing old oil-filled cables with XLPE cables between the GIS of different substations, between GIS and Generator Transformers totalling 15 circuits, including necessary testing and commissioning activities. Most of the circuits are inside the ‘D’ Power station complex in the Jebel Ali area.
Apart from DEWA, EEE will be co-ordinating with various manufacturers of GIS and Transformers including Siemens, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Ganz, Ellin Hollec, Hyosung, ABB and ACEC to carry out the necessary modification works under this project. The project is scheduled to be completed in the next 14 months, based on shutdown sequence planned by DEWA.
Emirates Electrical Engineering specialises in designing and constructing turnkey electrical power projects such as high voltage substations, distribution and transmission lines, commercial installations and cable networks. Its history dates back to 1977, when it completed the design, supply and installation of High Voltage Overhead Lines for the UAE’s central and northern regions.
