Saudi Tabreed Projects Under Way

摘要

Saudi Tabreed District Cooling Co. is currently executing two district cooling projects in Saudi Arabia, which Managing Director Rasheed Al-Rasheed says are progressing on schedule. Development of a district cooling system to serve King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh is under way. Total plant capacity will be 100,000 tons of refrigeration. The first phase of the plant (50,000 tons) and related distribution network is expected to be commissioned by mid-2012. Part of the initial phase (11,000 tons) will be commissioned by the end of 2011. Full capacity will be utilized within three or four years. Saudi Tabreed signed an agreement last year with Raydah Investment Co. in consortium with SNC Lavalin-Canada to design, build, operate and maintain the system.
