Technical requirements: The Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO) would like to procure the replacement of flue gas pipes from the gas turbine GE LM2500 on Nansen class frigates.
The procurement includes engineering/design, production, disassembly of existing pipes with a diffusor and I.R.S.S. nozzle and assembly of a new pipe with a diffusor and reassembly of I.R.S.S. on 1 (one) vessel.
Due to the Norwegian Armed Forces' pattern of operation with a high number of cycles, the new system will be required to have so-called ‘cold-casing’ technology. Tenderers are therefore required to have experience with this. See the qualification requirement on experience.
Procurement of a further 3 (three) flue gas pipes from the gas turbine GE LM2500 on Nansen class frigates. The option includes engineering/design, production, disassembly of existing pipes with a diffusor and I.R.S.S. nozzle and assembly of a new pipe with a diffusor and reassembly of I.R.S.S.
