The scope of work includes upgradation of eight steam boilers at the key Kuwaiti facility in bid to boost its operational efficiency and reliability at one of the country’s key power generation and desalination facilities.

As per the tender results, Heisco submitted a bid valued at KD200 million ($651 million), while Shanghai Electric Group Company emerged the lowest bidder with KD125.2 million ($408 million).
