Nexans, a cable company, has won a contract from Almabani to supply special airfield lighting cables for King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Almabani is the general contractor for the current airfield facilities upgrade project at KAIA, that will take place in three stages, the first of which should be completed by the first quarter of 2011. After the completion of all three construction stages, the airport's capacity is expected to reach 80 million passengers a year.
The Nexans contract includes the supply of some 1,500km of 5kV primary cables to connect the airfield power network to lighting transformers located on the runways that power the airfield lights. The cables for KAIA are manufactured at Nexans' plant in Lyon, France. Delivery started in 2008 and will continue this year.
