Siemens will be the main electrical contractor (MEC) for GASCO’s Ruwais 4th NGL train, located in the city of Ruwais, UAE. The NGL train is scheduled to go into operation in March 2012.
As MEC for the NGL fractionation plant, Siemens will provide power and distribution transformers, high-, medium- and low-voltage switchgears, and motor control centers.
Siemens will also provide power management system, medium- and low-voltage motors, and various other items of equipment, in addition to engineering, installation, commissioning and supervision of the complete electrical equipment.
Benefits of the ‘one-stop’ MEC approach are the reduction of interfaces, project management simplification, better communication, risk reduction and the leveraging of core competencies.
Tom Blades, CEO of oil and gas division of Siemens Energy, said: “More and more we see customers turning to Siemens early on in projects to find innovative ways to reduce risk and costs while accelerating completion.”
