La compañía española Telvent participará en la gestión de uno de los mayores gaseoductos de Australia

DBP Transmission, la entidad responsable de la ejecución, mantenimiento y expansión de uno de los gaseoductos más importantes de Australia, ha seleccionado de nuevo a la empresa española Telvent, especialista en tecnologías de la información, para la actualización de su sistema de control de datos.

Telvent instalará el SCADA OASyS DNA 7.5 junto con el sistema de análisis y medición de gas (GMAS) en la estación principal del gaseoducto. Este nuevo sistema de adquisición y control de datos está basado en tecnología punta para la recopilación y gestión de información en tiempo real. Se trata de una solución que propone un modelo de seguridad avanzado, mayor capacidad de tratamiento de información, e integración con las actuales aplicaciones corporativas de la entidad australiana.

El gaseoducto australiano DBNGP (The Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline) es uno de los principales activos estratégicos en Australia, y uno de los más largos: 1600km desde la región de Pilbara hasta el sudoeste del Estado de Australia Occidental, y con mayor capacidad del país, suministrando gas natural para clientes industriales, comerciales y residenciales de Perth y alrededores.

The Australian Defence Forces and the Australia Spain Business Association jointly sponsored an exclusive presentation to the Spanish Defence Industry suppliers on the Australian 2009 Defence White Paper and Defence Capability Plan 2009. This event, by inivitation only, took place at the Australian Embassy in Madrid, on the afternoon of November 5, 2009 and was attended by more than 20 interested parties.

The Australian 2009 Defence White Paper looks at the forward planning of Australia's Defence Strategy and requirements from 2010 through 2030 and includes many opportunities for Spanish companies to become defence material suppliers.

There is a unique opportunity for Spanish companies to participate as suppliers to Australia's Defence material requirements which will involve renewal of 80% of defence hardware and expenditures of approximately $A 120 billion ( € 72 billion) over the coming 20 years of which 40% will be open to foreign suppliers.

The presentation also gave attendees the opportunity to learn specific details about Australia's Defence plans and acted as a contact point to establish relations with DMO ( Australia's Defence Materiel Organisation) through which all defence supply contracts are negotiated.

Spanish companies are currently  major contractors to both the Australian Air Force and the Australian Navy with multi billion dollar contracts in force and Spain's reputation as a reliable external contractor source is highly considered by Australian defence authorities.
