Ducab, a leading manufacturer of high quality power cables in the UAE, recently won a Dh24 million ($6.53 million) contract from Daelim Industrial Company – a leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company in Korea – for the supply of power and control cables for Kuwait Oil Company’s (KOC) key effluent water disposal plant project.
Under the terms of the contract, Ducab will supply 6.35/11 kV lead-sheathed power cables and pilot cables for the project in Southeast Kuwait.
Ducab won the contract amidst stiff competition from other GCC and international cable manufacturers through a stringent selection process by KOC, says Colin Paskins, managing director.
“With this contract Ducab reconfirms its position as the preferred partner for oil, gas and petrochemical (OGP) projects in the Middle East.”
“Since its inception in 1979, Ducab has established a tradition that combines a high degree of quality assurance with cutting-edge technological innovations to deliver cable solutions at par with global standards of excellence, he adds.
“OGP projects are extremely vital to the growth of the oil industry, which in turn ensures a vibrant world economy. These projects must be executed with extreme care and the use of immaculate components is of prime concern to any contractor. The combination of assured quality and prompt delivery schedules made the company the ideal choice for KOC’s effluent water disposal project,” explains Yasser Hussein, OGP and exports manager, Ducab.
“Ducab’s uncompromising quality focus, timely delivery and strategic location ultimately won the project,” says SI Chang, president, Sangmin Consultancy Trading, a leading Korean EPC Consultancy and Consultants for the KOC project.
Ducab is ideally located to meet the varied needs of customers in the Middle East, Africa, South and East Asian markets. In 2003, Ducab registered an impressive growth marked by a successful entry into the subcontinent and Tanzanian markets with stellar orders. Currently, Ducab is going through a major expansion phase, with a new facility coming up in Abu Dhabi. The subsequent increase in capacity will drive an increase in the company’s already substantial market share.
