Creating Firsts

Cables International has been contracted to supply insulating systems for the cables and tubes in power, data, HVAC, water treatment, and ancillary installations for the new Tuas Water Reclamation Plant (TWRP) in Singapore.

As the plant is a highly corrosive environment for traditional cable support systems, Cables International will be using UNEX, an in-house formulated thermoplastic that does not require any maintenance and has been tested to last the lifetime of similar treatment plants.

A key component of Singapore’s deep tunnel sewerage system, TWRP aims to be the first integrated used-water and solid waste treatment facility that will be fully energy self-sufficient when it is ready in 2026.

This marks Cables International’s first major onshore infrastructure project, with the intention of using the UNEX solution in more waterworks projects across the region.
