Project Overview

Across Kuwait's national power-infrastructure expansion, Al Eid Engineering supplied lifting equipment and compressed air systems for multiple high-voltage substation projects executed by leading contractors including SHBC, Boodai, NCC, Larsen & Toubro and Siemens.

The multi-year program included overhead cranes and manual chain hoists for substation equipment installation and maintenance — such as the 2-ton and 6-ton EOT cranes pictured at the 400kV Al-Qabd substation and Verlinde 6-ton systems delivered through SHBC — plus BOGE compressed air packages for pneumatic control and instrumentation.

Supplying geographically dispersed sites with different contractors, specifications and schedules demanded dedicated logistics planning, site-specific documentation and contractor liaison. All equipment met MEW specifications and international standards (IEC, IEEE), with corrosion-resistant finishes for outdoor substation environments, and no project delays were attributable to equipment supply.
