Babcock's Australian operation is the appointed supplier for Thomson Valves Ltd (TVL) and provides in-country support for all TVL marine products in Australia and New Zealand.
Under the new contract, Babcock will supply eight TVL Reducing Stations on each of the Hobart class AWD fleet.
Babcock will be responsible for the supply and post-trial maintenance services of the equipment, which will be carried out in Adelaide by experienced Babcock maintenance engineers who have received specialist training at TVL's UK facility.
The order will be delivered over the next three years for installation on the three AWDs.
The Reducing Stations will control air supplied for the operation of emergency low pressure air, starting of the gas turbines, starting of the propulsion diesel engines, and starting of the diesel generator.
Each Reducing Station will be similar in design to that supplied to Navantia for the F-100 Spanish destroyer on which the AWD is based.
