Video - Fomento adjudica a Eurocopter el súper Helimer | Helimer (http://www.helimer.es/content/video-fomento-adjudica-eurocopter-el-s%C3%BAper-helimer)
Galicia will within a year with the new super Helimer, a Super Puma EC-225 to replace the Sikorsky S61N, based in La Coruña Alvedro airport since 1991. The contracting of Maritime Safety Agency (Sasemar), an agency of the Ministry of Development, which won its last meeting last week, the company Eurocopter Spain for an amount of 23,994,295 euros, excluding taxes. This is reflected in the contract notice published in the State Procurement Platform. Now only in the remainder of the month, formalizing contracts.
Open the two competing bids for the contract on 20 July, the commission scored a valuation technique Eurocopter 9.20 against 6.77 that added the International Sikorsky discarded. This was 338,536 euros cheaper, but after asking clarification, which delayed the process a few days, did not meet all the requirements of the specifications as detailed in the resolution that the president signed Sasemar, María Isabel Gil Durántez.
Spain Eurocopter, a subsidiary of Franco-German aerospace group, will now have 12 months to build and deliver the most modern and powerful helicopter that have Salvage and should be at least 25 years of service in the Galician coast complicated by his harsh weather conditions.
Among the reasons dismissed the offer from the American company Sikorsky International was that within your budget only included the formation of two pilots and two technicians, when the contract specifications required to be a minimum of eight pilots and 12 technicians (four crews complete), an issue which will be on par with the construction of the aircraft. Other details were technical requirements in the European company that brought modern technology and a logistics support plan with the necessary supplies of life-limited parts.
It should be noted that in coming years if the government that emerges from the elections of November 20 remains the standard-two similar aircraft will be tendered to the Strait of Gibraltar and the Canaries. At least, Galicia has secured his own, after the word given by the Minister José Blanco on 25 June.
After the purchase of mid-sized helicopter, an Agusta Westland AW 139, for 12.7 million euros (also operates in Alvedro since May 2010), it became clear that was not the Sikorsky S61N veteran substitute for their lack of weight necessary for stability in the rescues in adverse weather conditions. Therefore, the Council of Ministers on 18 February gave the green light to a game of 24 million euros by competition, acquire an aircraft at least 11 tons.
The model chosen is a Eurocopter EC-225 SAR. Has at least 500 nautical miles in radius (926 km), flying at 276 km / hr in cruise mode and reaches a top speed of 324 km / hour. It measures 19.5 meters long, weighs 11 tons empty and can carry 26 people, crew included, although the final configuration is known when it enters service. Initially will be based in Alvedro as the Agusta Westland AW139 will be placed from December in the new database Cee-currently under construction since last July 15, in which the security department Ministry of Public Maritime invests 1.3 million euros.
For comparison of the new helicopter with the existing large size, it should be noted that the aircraft will be retiring within a year and operates in Alvedro since 1991-when he arrived from Norway is a Sikorsky S61N. This is a model based on the original that was launched in 1962 in the United States, which can transport 28 people, including five crew members. It measures 18 meters long. It weighs about 8620 kilos empty, its range is 833 km and flies at cruising speed to 222 km per hour but reached 267 in top speed. Since the middle of the first decade of this century, the manufacturer replaced it with the modern S-92, which was the model who competed against the winner in this contest.
