• Extensive experience in supplying turbine meters with detection of gas in both directions.

References older than this will not be taken into consideration. References which have not yet been fully completed can be included as part of the application, but if this is the case, the applicant must describe the parts which have not yet been delivered, and this may affect the evaluation of the applicant, cf. section II.2.9.

The references should include a specific description of the work performed for each reference, including:

1. The supplied turbine meter type/brand/name and what industry the turbine meter was supplied to (oil, natural gas, or biogas industry).

2. The supplied turbine meters characteristics regarding detection of gas in both directions.

3. The number of years the tenderer has supplied turbine meters to the customer mentioned in the reference, also under previous contracts.
