MONTREAL,
April 13, 2022 /CNW
Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC), a fully integrated professional
services and project management company with offices around the
world, has been awarded a four-year advisory and engineering
services contract by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to
support its offshore operations power project. A first-of-its-kind
high-voltage, direct current (HVDC-VSC) subsea transmission system
in the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) region, the
project will power ADNOC's offshore production operations with
cleaner and more efficient energy.
"Our work with ADNOC on this significant project will support
the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative and reinforces our
commitment to work with our global clients on their net zero
journeys," said Ian L. Edwards,
President and CEO, SNC-Lavalin. "Through our world-class
engineering services and HVDC expertise, we will ensure the project
is delivered to the highest quality, safety, and environmental
standards to drive more efficiency and green impact."
The project, which is in partnership with Abu Dhabi National
Energy Company PJSC (TAQA), is expected to reduce the carbon
footprint of ADNOC's offshore operations by more than 30%,
replacing existing offshore gas turbine generators with more
sustainable power sources available on the Abu Dhabi onshore power network. This will be
achieved by developing two subsea HVDC-VSC links from onshore
Alternating Current (AC) power substations to artificial islands.
SNC-Lavalin's scope of work includes the design review of the
converter stations, the submarine cables, integration with the
onshore and offshore grid, as well as reviewing the implementation
plans for HSE, Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) of
contractors. In addition, SNC-Lavalin will provide supervision
throughout the construction and commissioning phases. The project
will be supported by the company's global HVDC Center of Excellence
in Canada, and its regional
expertise based in the Middle
East.
"SNC-Lavalin's Canadian HVDC Centre of Excellence (CoE) has been
active in the field for half a century," said Dale Clarke, CEO, Engineering Services,
Canada at SNC-Lavalin. "This CoE
has delivered close to 50 landmark projects across five continents
and adapts each project to its unique environments."
SNC-Lavalin has a proven track record in delivering some of the
most complex and challenging HVDC systems worldwide. The company's
global team of expertise work with clients across the entire asset
life cycle, ensuring – from development and design to project
development and commissioning, to rehabilitation and end-of-life
management – the utmost benefits of clean, effective and
cost-effective power are realized.
