Fire retardant cabling has been a critical factor in the overall safety requirements for Eskom’s two new OCGT (open cycle gas turbine) power stations, called Gourikwa and Ankerlig at Mossel Bay and Atlantis in the Western Cape.
Power cable manufacturer Aberdare Cables, a Powertech company, was approached by main contractor and project co-ordinator Siemens to provide all of the cabling for both OCGT power stations, which are part of Eskom’s R150-billion newly-revised five-year capacity building programme.
