ABB has secured an order worth approximately QR109.2 million ($30 million) from the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) to construct two underground substations for the  Musheireb project in Doha.

The company will design, supply, install and commission two 66 kV gas-insulated switchgear  substations as well as transformers, 11 kV metal-clad air-insulated switchgear and cables.

The substations will be equipped with ABB automation systems and the latest generation of protection and control products.

The Musheireb project, which will be undertaken in five stages,   aims to reconstruct and restore a 35-hectare area in Doha’s old city centre. The project is slated to be completed by the end of 2012.
