Nexans has been awarded a contract to provide power and instrumentation cabling for the construction of Laffan Refinery 2 in Doha.
The contract has been awarded by CCJV – the joint venture between Chiyoda and CTCI – which is the main contractor on the project.
Nexans will provide over 1000 km of cable designed to suit the requirements of the oil and gas industry, including low and medium-voltage and flame retardant cables.
In 2013, Nexans provided 1000 km of medium and low voltage cables for the Barzan gas processing project.
Charles-Edouard Mellagui, country manager and CEO of Qatar International Cables Company, the Nexans company based in Qatar, said: “Winning this major contract for such a high profile and strategic project is an important step for the contribution of the Nexans Group to Qatar 2030 Vision and its underlying will to accelerate its industrial development.”
Construction of the refinery began in December 2013, and it is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016.
