Performance Case Study | Sunwise Globle Corporation – EPC Consortium Partner
Project Snapshot
In 2022 Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) undertook the field expansion and required a fully digital, desert-hardened Public Address & General Alarm (PA/GA) system. Sunwise Globle Corporation led the EPC consortium, delivering end-to-end engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and a 36-month O&M programme. The solution had to:
Survive ambient temperatures up to 55 °C and sand ingress
Comply with EN 54-16 / ISO 7240-16 and IEC 60079 Ex requirements
Integrate natively with DCS, fire-alarm, and telecom backbones
Achieve ≥ 0.65 STI in all process areas
Sunwise Globle EPC Scope of Work
Core Equipment Supplied (As-Built)
Technical Highlights
Dual-Core Resilience – Each SG-PA50 features dual Ethernet (RSTP) for seamless fail-over and manages 100+ IP endpoints without single-point failure.
8 + 1 Amplifier Redundancy – Channel-level spare with automatic load-sharing; supports AES67 audio and AES70 control with end-to-end encryption.
HD Audio Backbone – 24-bit / 48 kHz sampling, integrated chime generator, 100 min WAV/MP3 library.
Desert-Grade Hardware – Electronics certified -25 °C…75 °C; speakers use 115 °C thermal fuses and metal rear-cans.
Robust Power – Twin UPS in hot-standby mode deliver six-hour ride-through plus automatic bypass & alarms.
Halogen-Free Cabling – SG-LSOH-C meets IEC 60332-3 & 61034 for flame, smoke, and toxicity performance.
Performance Outcomes (Aug 2022 – Aug 2024)
System Availability: > 99.98 % with zero unplanned outages
Schedule Efficiency: Modular rack build cut site time by 12 %
Regulatory Compliance: Independent SAT confirmed full EN 54-16 / ISO 7240-16 & KOC HSSE compliance
Operational Readiness: Bilingual GUI and hands-on training enable KOC technicians to perform routine maintenance in-house
Conclusion
The Kuwait Oil Project showcases Sunwise Globle Corporation’s capability to execute high-reliability, IP-based PA/GA systems for critical oil-and-gas environments. By combining ruggedised hardware, open IP protocols, and disciplined project management, Sunwise Globle safeguards personnel and assets under some of the planet’s harshest operating conditions—delivering measurable uptime, on-time delivery, and full regulatory compliance.
