The orders are full turnkey contracts to supply the innovative sub-freezing DX-Boost pre-conditioned air (PCA) technology for both facilities. Cavotec will design, supply, install, test and commission the PCA system, 400Hz converters, pop-up pit and hatch pit systems.
“These landmark projects are excellent references for our sub-freezing DX-Boost cooling technology, and further demonstrates our ability to offer all the necessary technical expertise to deliver complex turnkey solutions to major industry players,” says Ottonel Popesco, Cavotec CEO.
Cavotec INET’s Sub-freezing DX-Boost systems cool aircraft quickly and efficiently by supplying PCA at sub-freezing temperatures. The technology meets the strict criteria and demanding environmental conditions of Muscat and Abu Dhabi Airportz, where temperatures frequently exceed 45 degrees Celsius. DX-boost PCA units enable the fast and efficient cooling of aircraft without the use of on board auxiliary power units, thereby reducing emissions.
“We have been working with Cavotec since many years, mainly for aviation fuelling and airport fuel farm projects. We are delighted to work with Cavotec once again for a prestigious Aircraft (A380) Hangar project and to use their expertise in delivering state-of- art technology to meet our customer’s stringent quality and service requirements. As Amana Group increasingly focuses on aviation and MRO projects, the long-term partnership with Cavotec is the ideal solution to ensure future success,” says Richard Antoine Abboud, General Manager of Amana Contracting & Steel Building Company.
Cavotec has recently commissioned their Sub-freezing PCA System at the Boeing MRO Facility Nagpur in India, where the Group executed a turnkey project including the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of a Sub-freezing PCA system, 400Hz Power system and Pop-Up Pits systems for PCA and 400Hz. This project is an industry benchmark with Cavotec’s Sub-freezing DX-Boost PCA System delivering pre-conditioned dry air at temperatures lower than -10°C at the Boeing MRO Hangar.
Cavotec has worked closely with aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus for many years on developing advanced GSE, including subfreezing PCA systems capable of cooling large aircraft such as the Airbus A380 superjumbo quickly, cleanly and efficiently.
The long-standing relationship with Larsen & Toubro has added another highlight, with Cavotec recently having been awarded the contract to supply 108 Electrical and 400Hz Pit systems for the prestigious upcoming Midfield Terminal Project at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
