18,000 Tons Cooling System Diversion to DCP Dhahran
Shan Intl. was selected to support the IST Aramco District Cooling Project at Aramco’s high-security facilities in Dhahran. This major infrastructure upgrade required the disconnection of an existing 18,000-ton cooling system and the seamless diversion of the network to the Dhahran District Cooling Plant (DCP). The project demanded precise engineering, detailed planning, and strict adherence to Aramco standards.
Features.
