industrial development, quickly became the preferred location for Safran Landing
PROJECT STATUS
Systems' new production site.
Completed in 2014

In 2016, a new-generation carbon brake manufacturing plant was established in the

Sendayan Tech Valley Industrial Zone.

Created to supply mainly on Asian airlines, this state-of-the-art industrial equipment,

which is engineered, supplied and constructed by WSP in France, includes complete
carbon braking systems.

Lighter than their steel counterparts, they were required to be installed on airliners at
the end of the 1980s to improve economic performance.

The building has five specific departments: carbon fibre preforming; carbonization and
densification by gaseous infiltration; carbon mould machining; disk protection by
oxidation inhibition; and used heat sink reconditioning.

EPC contract together with Technip Group led by WSP France, included full design for
civil, structure, firefighting and all utilities for the building itself and for all the process
equipment (such as furnaces) : humidity control, electricity, gas production and
distribution (natural gas, Nitrogen gas, Propane), compressed air production and
distribution.

The first phase of the project was completed in 2014, just two years after the studies
began, on time and on budget.
