LARSEN & Toubro has secured an order worth Rs 144 crore from the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) for the construction of 85 km-long 220 kV transmission lines.

The project, for which Mott MacDonald is consultant, is to be completed in 24 months starting January, said a press release from L&T.

On completion of this project, the Sweihan Station will be connected to the 220 kV network consisting of Ramah, Khazna, Al Hayer, Dahma, Salamat substations in UAE, thus increasing the stability of 220 kV network.

This repeat order from a quality conscious organisation like ADWEA is testimony to the global technology standards of L&T and its international competitiveness".
