Siemens has announced that it has signed an extension of a multi-year maintenance service agreement with Shuweihat S2 Operation and Maintenance Company (S2O&M). Under the terms of the contract, Siemens will support the 1500 MW combined cycle power and water plant. With the new 18-year extension, Siemens will also deploy products from its Omniverse digital services portfolio, including cybersecurity solutions to help improve asset visibility, reliability, and availability.

The project will see the deployment of Siemens’ FlexLTP (Flexible Long-Term Program), which Siemens says provides a high degree of asset availability by extending intervals between inspections. The program includes an integrated suite of advanced remote monitoring and diagnostics services, such as Asset Monitor. Using advanced data-driven analytics, this service provides a visualisation of plant asset data and key performance indicators for early detection of potential issues.
Siemens will also utilise Remote Resident Engineers, which allows the company’s experts to remotely resolve performance issues and forecast maintenance needs, using a secured network and two-factor authentication to eliminate any cyber risks. The company’s cybersecurity solutions will help protect the power plant’s operations, maximise system uptime, and mitigate exposure to vulnerabilities.
Beyond digitalising the power services, the agreement will see the supply of spare parts, on-site inspection, and major inspections on the plant’s Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbines, SST5-6000IP steam turbines, and the associated generators and electrical equipment.
