Industrial Penstocks has successfully retained its approved supplier status with Ashghal in Qatar – and with it won an important new order for six precision-engineered penstocks for the prestigious Dukhan Highway East project.
Following a lengthy approval process by Ashghal, the Public Works Authority responsible for the planning, design, procurement, construction, delivery and asset management of all infrastructure projects and public buildings in Qatar, Industrial Penstocks says its latest order underlines the demand for its quality, long-lasting solutions.
Paul Higginson, Director at Industrial Penstocks, said:
“Working closely alongside our agents Intermodal Services CO. W.L.L, who bring a wealth of contractual expertise to our work in Qatar and the Middle East, our continued Ashghal approval and new penstock order has had to meet unmatched worldwide standards”.
For the Dukhan Highway, one of the two major routes being widened in the Qatari capital, Doha, the new wall-mounted penstocks (from 400mm by 400mm up to 2400mm by 2400mm) are all made to BS7775, with stainless steel 316L frames and doors benefitting from EPDM-resilient seals.
