Global engineering group, Cavotec MSL has secured an order for the delivery of 53 integrated ground support systems and associated equipment with Saudi Oger, one of the major construction companies in Saudi Arabia.

Mr Ottonel Popesco CEO of Cavotec said that “Cavotec’s range of ground support equipment offers operators a way to reduce their environmental impact, and improve their operational efficiency.”

The order includes 53 in ground pit systems, of which five are pop up pits, units that emerge from the tarmac when required, and retract flush with the apron surface after use and 24 converters, and associated materiel. The systems will be installed in two aircraft hangars in the Saudi capital Riyadh and the coastal city of Jeddah.

Cavotec’s in ground systems supply aircraft with fuel, power, water and pre conditioned air eliminating the need for service vehicles, diesel generators, cables and hoses that typically cover much of the area around parked aircraft.

Cavotec is a leading global engineering group, supplying innovative and environmentally friendly systems to the maritime, airport, mining, and general industry sectors.
