Softlogic’s Central Air Conditioning Division has scored a landmark project along with SMARDT Australia, by signing a Rs. 379 million worth contract with Airport Aviation (Sri Lanka) Ltd. to replace 1500 TR magnetic bearing chillers at Bandaranaike International Airport, Katunayake. 

The project agreement was signed by Airport Aviation Sri Lanka Chairman Dammika Ranathunga at the presence of CEO Mohammed Rizvi, Board Director P. Nirmalan, Director Chaminda De Silva and General Manager Viraj Fernando representing Softlogic Holdings PLC.

Softlogic CEO Mohammed Rizvi, elaborating the magnitude of the project stated, “As one of the leading players in the Central Air Conditioning business, we have the correct team to shoulder a magnums project of this nature. As such, our team of experienced engineers would utilise the most effective project management tools and methodology to complete the project while matching the scope of the work to their immense pre-eminence in the industry. We would provide utmost importance to this project as we do understand the expectation and the trust laid on us by the client.” 

“This project is a historical landmark for the Central Air Conditioning division of Softlogic, as it validates the strong foothold of the division in the industry. This project would be an important reference point for the company and it would provide testimony for the capability and the expertise of    Softlogic in the field. This annunciates to the industry that we, as an air conditioning service provider have the most experienced engineering team who are ASHRAE members (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) as well as the number one after sales          service in the central air conditioning industry.”
