Cavotec wins multiple ground equipment orders at Hong Kong Airport
Leading global engineering group Cavotec has won three substantial contracts
for aircraft fuelling and electrical supply ground support equipment (GSE) for
installation at two separate applications at Hong Kong International Airport,
illustrating the Group’s continued strong performance in the Asia airports
market.
“Cavotec is working closely with the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) on
these projects, and the orders confirm Hong Kong Airport as one of our most
important customer references in Asia,” says John Rostagno, Managing Director
Cavotec Hong Kong.
Two of the three orders are for Hong Kong Airport’s Western Apron. Here, the
Group will manufacture, install and commission a number of fuelling vault
access covers and fuelling and sampling pit systems.
Also at the Western Apron, Cavotec will supply electrical power supply units
that will include hatch pit units, and a large number of electrical converters
and sockets.
In the third of the three projects, Cavotec is to supply fuelling pit systems
and vault access covers for the Hong Kong Airport’s Midfield project.
This order, placed by local contractor Gammon E&M Limited, also involves the
supply of electrical equipment, including bridge-mounted, 90KVA Cavotec
electrical power converters, and cable modular coilers and related materiel.
The Midfield development is located between the airport’s two existing runways
and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2015. The programme includes the
expansion of the Midfield Concourse and its adjacent apron area, and
incorporates several initiatives intended to reduce environmental impact, such
as the installation of one of the largest arrays of rooftop solar panels in
Hong Kong.
Last year, Cavotec won awards from AAHK for substantial numbers of coilers,
converters and utility pits, as well as a five-year spare parts contract.
Cavotec is a leading system designer and integrator for the global airports
sector. Working closely with airports, airlines and industry bodies, the Group
manufactures a diverse range of advanced GSE including tunnel and pit systems
for 400Hz power, pre-compressed air (PCAir), fuel and wet services, connectors,
tow-bars, caddies and pantographs.
The Group’s Airports market unit is made up of Cavotec Fladung, Cavotec
Meyerinck, Cavotec Dabico and Cavotec INET. Between them, these companies have
pioneered GSE technologies that are now in use at commercial and other
applications all around the world. Cavotec’s airports offering was recently
further strengthened with the acquisition of Swedish ground support equipment
manufacturer, Combibox.
