SNC-Lavalin announced recently that it has been awarded a contract to provide engineering and procurement services for the Meydan Group Mahra, Jeyad and Forsan 132/11kV substations for the Meydan One development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, valued at approximately US$ 70mn.
SNC-Lavalin will undertake the full design and delivery of all three 132/11kV gas insulated switchgear (GIS) substations, including the civil design and delivery of three two-storey buildings, all electrical equipment and electro-mechanical works.
Deliverables for each of the three substations include the design, procurement, installation and commissioning of the 132kV and 11kV switchgears, 132/11kV 35/50MVA transformers, shunt reactors, capacitors, earthing transformers, associated control and protections, and remote end integration. The substations are expected to go operational in late 2019.
“The Mahra, Jeyad and Forsan substations are a key part of this exciting development, helping to form the backbone of the electrical infrastructure that will address growth demand in the new Meydan One development,” said Marie-Claude Dumas, President, Clean Power, SNC-Lavalin.
Meydan One is a new, premier destination in Dubai that will be home to 83,000 people and the substations will form the key component of the electrical infrastructure of the development.
