Zamil wins Dh80m air cooling contract

Dubai: Saudi Arabia's Zamil Air Conditioners, a manufacturer of cooling systems and a unit of Zamil Industrial Group, has been awarded contracts worth about Dh80 million by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust) to provide climate control systems.

Zamil said it will supply a large number of concealed fan coil units, air-cooled condensing units, single skin air handling units, ducted split systems, approximately 3,000 sets of water chilled fan coil units, and 21 sets of custom built TW Series double skin air handling systems.

The total cooling capacity for the project is more than 16,500 tonnes.

"Kaust is truly a landmark undertaking for Zamil Air Conditioners. Zamil Air Conditioners emerged as the winner due to our unique ability to satisfy the most stringent climate control specifications and timeline requirements," said Ahmad Zaatari, the company's general manager.

The Kaust campus is located on the Red Sea at Thuwal, 80 kilometres north of Jeddah. It is due to be completed in September 2009.
