US digitalisation and industrial automation systems provider Honeywell has announced it has won a contract to supply connected control, telecommunications, safety and security systems for the upcoming King Salman International Complex for Maritime Industries and Services facility being developed primarily by Saudi Aramco in Ras al-Khair, Saudi Arabia.

Honeywell said it was awarded the contract by the under-construction project’s main engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, China-based Sepco Electric Power Construction Corporation (Sepco).

In a press release on 8 February, Honeywell said it will provide Sepco with a number of connected systems for the complex, including:

• A portfolio of integrated, cyber-secure automation control systems that give facility operators 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 maximise 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 minimise facility-wide shutdowns.
