For immediate release 2008 12 February IAC Stopson Italy supplies €3M enclosures order for GE
These enclosures are for the GT25 gas turbine and compressor package which GE is installing at a gas plant in Korba, 80kms south east of Tunis in Tunisia. The facility is dedicated to the compression of gas for transport via the underwater pipeline that crosses the Mediterranean to southern Europe. Manufacturing of the frames and fire-rated panels was undertaken in China at our manufacturing partner’s facility located close to Shenzen between June and October. Shipment from China to Tunis was a major operation. A total of 63 forty-foot containers made the 30-day journey via the Suez Canal and Malta. Strong support was provided by IAC companies to the local Chinese team throughout the manufacturing process. Components such as the bridge crane, fire fighting system and ventilation have all been procured from European-based suppliers. Olivier Darreius, IAC Boet Stopson European Operations Director said: “IAC Stopson Italy clinched this high value order from GE after a very tough bid process lasting several months. The active support of our French Enclosure business unit to them throughout the engineering and selection process was a key factor in their success. We anticipate that this project will be the first of several, given the expected growth of the gas market worldwide.” The image shows an adjoining part of the same plant.
