UK-based Doosan Babcock has signed a long term maintenance agreement (LTMA) with Taweelah Asia Power Company (TAPCO) to provide essential maintenance and technical support services to Abu Dhabi’s Taweelah B Power and Water Desalination Plant.

The eight-year contract includes technical support, parts and equipment provision, and repair and maintenance services at Abu Dhabi’s largest power and water plant, and the second largest facility of its kind in the UAE.

The agreement covers the optimum performance of six thermal boiler units, five heat recovery steam generators (HRSG), 13 multi-stage flashing (MSF) water desalination units and 12 potable water tanks.

Technical expertise will also be provided by other members of the multi-disciplinary Doosan Group, including Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction’s Water Business Group and Doosan Engineering & Construction.

In November, Doosan Babcock won two LTMAs for Abu Dhabi Gas Industries’ (Gasco) gas processing facilities in the UAE.

Under the five-year contracts, Doosan Babcock is providing maintenance and shutdown services at the Habshan and Bab complex in Abu Dhabi.

Doosan Babcock had previously provided specialist engineering technologies for steam generation plant assets across Gasco’s sites.

Doosan Babcock recently opened its Middle East and North Africa (Mena) engineering consultancy hub in Abu Dhabi, designed to provide engineering services to the power, water, oil and gas, petrochemical and industrial sectors.
