Cavotec win ground support contracts across the region

“The technical and geographical scope of these projects illustrate how Cavotec works with a diverse range of partners to develop solutions that help our clients improve efficiency and operate more sustainably,” says Ottonel Popesco, Cavotec’s CEO.

The largest of these orders is for a fuel hydrant system at the new Diagne International Airport, near the Senegalese capital Dakar. The order is a considerable achievement for the Cavotec Group, as this is the first fully integrated fuel hydrant package supplied by Cavotec Middle East in cooperation with partners.

Crucially, Cavotec has been awarded this contract through Saudi company, Isam  Kabbani and Co., a sub-contractor of SBG. This is Cavotec’s first project reference with SBG, one of the most important contractors in the region. Furthermore, the project is the Group’s first order of this scale in the African airports market.

In Algeria, Cavotec is to supply AXA converters, six hatch pits, 50 and 400 Hz, and 28 Vdc cables and connectors, and electrical cabinets for testing and maintenance of  rotary-wing aircraft.

Cavotec, and engineering group Sinohydro-Gamuda-WCT Joint Venture, have also signed an agreement for the delivery and installation of 18 hatch pits for a wash apron bay at Doha International Airport in Qatar.

The units will connect equipment to clean the aircraft at the maintenance area adjoining the Qatar Airways and Emiri hangars. The wash apron bay is designed for two A380 positions.
