South Korean Samsung Construction & Trading, EPC contractor for the construction of the new 2.4GW Fujairah F3 gas-fired combined-cycle power plant, awarded the marine subcontract for the intake and outfall installation to Jan De Nul Group.
The Fujairah F3 Independent Power Plant (IPP) will be built between the existing Fujairah F1 and Fujairah F2 Water and Power Production Plants, within the Fujairah Water and Electricity Generation Complex in Ras Al Qidfa at 24 kilometers from Fujairah City.
