The plastic pipes specialist will work closely with China Harbour Engineering Company in major sea cooling project
Saudi Plastic Products Company (Sappco) has announced that it has secured a major contract to supply high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes for a US $426mn sea water cooling project in the Kingdom’s Jazan region.
A major plastic pipe producer in Saudi Arabia, Sappco said this contract follows the deal signed earlier with China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) for the supply of its innovative large diameter technology HDPE pipes, to the site of an ambitious sea water cooling project.
Moreover, Sappco explained that the contract, awarded by the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY), is a considerable step forward in the first-tier development of Jazan City.
A company spokesperson commented: “Sappco Group is honoured to be a part of this mega project and is proud to be working with valued partners to ensure project success and as part of its contribution to Kingdom’s vision 2023. Our HDPE pipes will certainly play a critical role in this project, forming a part of the initial phase of the seawater cooling system. This project will be an additional testament to Sappco Group’s expertise and its over 50 years of history of know-how in the design, manufacturing, and supply of major infrastructure plastic pipes.”
