Saudi Arabian Sensing Solutions Co (Sassco), the joint company formed by GE Sensing and the Tamimi Group, opened its new sales, service and training centre in Al Khobar, the company has announced.
The new facility forms the sales hub for the company’s activities in the Kingdom, as well as establishing a dedicated calibration, repair and training centre. It offers state-of-the-art calibration equipment for pressure and moisture sensors, and is the only resource in the region capable of calibrating the Panametrics range of moisture meters.
The centre can provide on-site repair service for these products and can upgrade existing customer equipment by the fitting of specific manufacturer’s software.
According to the company, training from GE Sensing and GE Inspection Technologies is an important function at the centre. Typical non-destructive testing (NDT) courses cover the use of GE’s ultrasonic, remote visual inspection, radiography and eddy current equipment.
In addition, the centre provides a base for GE’s qualified field services personnel and has the capability to carry out basic repairs on simple NDT equipment, such as flaw detectors.
Mohannad Labadi, General Manager Sassco, said: “The industrial infra-structure of Saudi Arabia relies very heavily on sensing instrumentation for pressure, temperature, moisture, gas and flow.
It also depends on non-destructive testing to provide safe asset management and maintain production outputs. Sassco is resourced and focused to provide solutions in both sensing and inspection. The creation of our new sales, service and training centre will ensure that we are now even closer in providing expertise and support in both technologies to our customers in the Kingdom.” |
