Dubai, UAE -- May 29, 2007 : GE Sensing is on schedule to unveil its first dedicated calibration, repair and training centre in the Middle East, when its new 370m² service centre opens its doors in November 2007.The new facility will serve all Gulf countries outside Saudi Arabia and is a further demonstration of GE's commitment to on-going investment in the region.
The new service centre will offer state-of-the-art calibration equipment for pressure and moisture sensors, particularly for the oil and gas and aerospace sectors, and will be the only resource in the region capable of calibrating the Panametrics range of moisture meters. It will also provide an on-site repair service for these products and will have the capability to up-grade existing customer equipment by the fitting of specific, manufacturer's software.
Training will be an important function at the centre for both GE Sensing and GE Inspection Technologies. Typical non-destructive testing courses will cover the use of GE's ultrasonic, remote visual inspection, radiography and eddy current equipment. In addition, the centre will provide a base for GE's qualified field services personnel and will have the capability to carry-out basic repairs to simple NDT equipment, such as flaw detectors.
Brian Hempenstall, Regional Service Manager for GE Sensing, explains, "The Gulf is one of the most important oil and petrochemical regions in the world. This is an industrial sector that relies very heavily on sensing instrumentation for pressure, temperature moisture, gas and flow. It is also an industrial sector where non-destructive testing is critical to safe asset management and to maintaining production outputs. GE Sensing and GE Inspection Technologies are the only businesses in the world that are resourced and focused to provide solutions in both these areas of technology. The creation of our new calibration, training and repair facility will ensure that we can now move even closer to our Gulf customers to ensure that they receive the very best, both in terms of equipment and service."
