Use Case: Libya – Delivery and installation of almost 500 control cabinets for the Great Man-Made-River project
Project overview
Greiner implemented the electrical infrastructure for the Great Man-Made-River project in Libya, one of the largest water infrastructure projects in the world. The project included the delivery and installation of a total of 489 control cabinets that ensure reliable and precise control of the water conveying systems.
Challenge
The Great Man-Made-River project places extraordinary demands on the reliability and precision of the control technology. In a desert region with extreme temperatures, dust and sand, a robust, low-maintenance and durable technical solution is essential despite well-protected control rooms. The control systems must be able to guarantee that the water supply for distant population centers is constant and reliable.
