ICC ( Pvt. ) Ltd. belongs to one of the largest technically oriented, multi discipline group of companies engaged in Engineering; Manufacturing and large scale Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Construction fields in Pakistan. The first company was established in 1931 and presently the following group companies are playing a leading role in their respective fields. Even though the companies are functionally independent with separate balance sheets they have an almost similar equity structure and a common Board of Directors.
- The Imperial Electric Company (Pvt) Limited
- ICC Textile Limited
- Arabian Electrical Transmission Line Construction Company Limited.
ICC (Pvt) Limited, formerly known as Imperial Construction Company has played a vital and active role in trying to achieve the objective of self sufficiency in electrical technology in Pakistan. Over the past 54 years, ICC has worked side by side with WAPDA and has made a major contribution towards the construction of High Voltage Transmission Network, Sub-Stations and Power Stations in the country. It is proud of the reputation earned in this period which is reflected through a dynamic list of achievements in the field of Electrical and Mechanical Construction.
ICC was established in 1958 and at that time it was the first Pakistani Company to undertake turnkey projects for construction of Transmission Lines in the country. ICC has done pioneering work in the field of Transmission Lines and High Voltage Transmission Line stretching almost over the entire terrain of Pakistan. It specialises in the Design, Furnishing of materials, Erection, Testing and Commissioning of a complete Transmission Line System. Over 10,000 Km of Distribution and Transmission Lines ranging from 11 KV to 500 KV have been constructed to date. One great achievement in the process has been the acquisition of technical know-how and self reliance thereby eliminating participation of foreign companies in transmission line construction in Pakistan.
Construction of Transmission Line is of course only one dimension of ICC’s varied scope of activities. ICC also specialises in design and construction of HV and EHV Sub-Stations, Mechanical Erection of Power Stations, Process Equipment and Communication Systems.
ICC is the only Pakistani Company engaged in the design, supply of materials erection, testing and commissioning of HV and EHV Sub-stations operating in the domestic market. It has been a major contributor to the development undertaken by WAPDA in this field. WAPDA realising ICC’s technical expertise awarded the construction of the first 500 KV Sub-station in Pakistan to ICC at Tarbela in 1977.
ICC has created a separate division to work on large projects involving Mechanical Erection of Hydel and Thermal Power Stations, Process Equipment and Pipelines. For the first time in Pakistan a Pakistani company, ICC, was awarded the project as Main Contractor to construct a complete Thermal Power Station by Pakistan Steel Mills, Karachi. The project involved Mechanical Erection of Three Turbo Generators of 55 MW each, along with four Boilers, Water Chemical Treatment Plant, Oil Facilities, Refractory Work and Control Equipment. Pakistan Steel also awarded to ICC many contracts for Mechanical/Electrical works totalling 30,000 tons for various complexes at the Steel Mills. Subsequently, ICC was involved in Mechanical Installation (3x210) Thermal Power set up at Muzaffargarh & 4 units of (4x323 MW) for HUBCO.
ICC was also engaged in the Mechanical Erection of Hydel Turbines, Generators, Control and Power Cables for Mangla Units 7 &8 of 125 MVA each. It was also the turnkey contract for design, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of the entire Medium and High Voltage Switchgear for the above units. ICC also completed complete stator erection of 432 MW generator stator for Tarbela hydel power station units 11-14. ICC was also responsible for the design and supply of control and protection of the 432MW turbines and generators at Tarbela units 11-14.
ICC completed a WAPDA/USAID project for survey, mapping and data-base development of Distribution Feeders of WAPDA system. The project involved designing a complex system of software and hardware and includes computerised data acquisition.
ICC is also registered with Pakistan Engineering Council as a “NO LIMIT CONTRACTOR”.
