SUWAYHAT

PTE183

Zawawi Powertech Engineering LLC successfully executed the EPC contract awarded by Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) for the turnkey delivery of two 400/132 kV GIS grid stations - Suwayhat and Barik within Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) concession areas, along with the supply and installation of two 400 kV reactors at New Nahadah Grid Station. The scope included complete engineering, procurement, construction, installation, testing, and commissioning, as well as all associated civil and systems works. Operating in remote desert locations without basic infrastructure, the team overcame significant logistical challenges, including sourcing water from 50 km away for Barik. Drawing on extensive PDO brownfield experience, ZPTE established a fully serviced camp for 600 personnel, complete with accommodation, catering, recreational, medical, and religious facilities to ensure workforce well-being. Strict compliance with PDO road safety and journey management protocols ensured safe, efficient operations. The project was completed to the highest quality standards, meeting all client requirements and contributing to the reliable expansion of Oman’s power transmission network.
