Honeywell announced in a statement that it has been awarded a major contract to supply connected control, telecommunications, safety and security systems for the King Salman International Complex for Maritime Industries and Services shipyard being developed by Aramco in Ras Al-Khair, Saudi Arabia.
The Project was awarded by main EPC, SEPCO Electric Power Construction Corporation (SEPCO).
When completed, the complex will be one of the largest shipyards in the world. It will be automated using a range of Honeywell technologies designed to make the facility’s operations safer, more efficient and secure.
The suite of systems will be integrated into the complex by SEPCO, the project’s main engineering procurement and construction contractor.
Honeywell will provide SEPCO with a suite of connected systems for the complex, including:
- A portfolio of integrated, cyber-secure automation control systems that give facility operators complete visibility of processes across the site to reduce workload and improve efficiency. This includes Honeywell’s ControlEdge Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Data Concentrator, Safety Manager SC and Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
- Integrated telecom and security systems, including local communications and network security systems, closed circuit television (CCTV) and access control technologies to help facility operators maximize on-site security.
- Fire and gas detection systems, including fire and gas controllers and automatic smoke detection systems to help isolate areas in the event of an emergency and safely minimize facility-wide shutdowns
The King Salman International Complex for Maritime Industries and Services was inaugurated in November 2016.
The complex will be a world-class maritime facility providing a broad portfolio of services spanning vessel and rig build, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and will establish Saudi Arabia as one of the world’s elite shipbuilding nations.
