A 25-position Advanced Communication (Acom) console system has been supplied by Zetron to be used for dispatch and emergency call handling at the Gorgon Project in Australia, one of the largest natural gas projects in the world.

The IP-based system will provide dispatch communications over TETRA and conventional radio systems, as well as emergency call handling for the project.

The Gorgon Project is the largest single-resource natural gas project ever undertaken in Australia. Operated by an Australian subsidiary of Chevron, it includes the construction of a 15-million-tonne-per-annum liquefied natural gas plant on Barrow Island and a domestic gas plant with the capacity to provide up to 300 terajoules per day of gas to Western Australia.

“Zetron worked very closely with us to provide a system that meets the Gorgon Project’s exacting and complex technology requirements”, said Bob Greaney, senior project director for Kentz T&E Systems, the engineering company to which Zetron has supplied the equipment.
