Cegelec has won a turnkey contract (EPC) for the design and construction of a "blast-proof" control building for the Qapco petrochemicals complex, one of the leading Middle East producers of ethylene and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). This building, for which Cegelec performed the preliminary design, will form part of a new production unit located at Mesaieed, Qatar, and will have an annual output capacity of 300,000 tonnes of LDPR.
Under the new contract, awarded by Uhde, a ThyssenKrupp Technologies Company, Cegelec is responsible for all the building's facilities and electrical infrastructures. The Group has also been entrusted with redeployment and upgrading of all systems related to existing facilities, in particular the emergency shutdown system, the distributed monitoring systems, closed circuit television, fire and gas detection and extinguishing systems, and the public address and general alarm system.
