The existing salt water and fresh water pumps
are to be replaced at a total estimated cost
of $3.4 million. These new installations are
to ensure an uninterrupted source of water
for fire-fighting at NP’s compound in Sea
Lots. The projected expenditure for April to

Fire Engine with Pump at Piarco (Fire
water system)
– This project involves an
overhaul of the fire control system at Piarco
to increase coverage of a sprinkler system
and to increase overall fire water storage
capacity. The estimated cost of the project
is $2.0 million. The projected costs for April
to September 2013 and fiscal 2014 are $0.5
million, respectively.
•
Installation of Automatic Transfer Switch
(ATS) and Power Upgrade at NP

ATS will replace the existing switch which is
obsolete and inoperable. This is expected
to mitigate the risk associated with manual
switching when the utility power supply to the
Sea Lots Complex is interrupted. The upgrade
to medium voltage power system is based
on the Electrical Inspectorate requirements.
The estimated cost for both projects is $4.0
million with projected expenditure for April
to September 2013 at approximately $2.3
million and for fiscal 2014 is $1.0 million.

NP’s Road Tank Wagons (RTW’s) with diesel
at the new base in Caroni. This project will
increase the efficiency of fuel supplied to
NP Service Stations throughout Trinidad.
The project is estimated to cost $3.0 million.
Projected expenditure for April to September
