Multidisciplinary construction and engineering group Aveng Grinaker-LTA is making good progress on the construction of the balance of plant (BoP) mechanical works at the Kusile power station.

The multidisciplinary BoP component of the project was being executed by Aveng Grinaker-LTA’s Mechanical and Electrical division and comprised a range of services, including engineering works, procurement and construction works, consisting of civil and building works, structural steel fabrication and installation, piping fabrication and installation, and the installation of mechanical items.
 
“Over the last year, Aveng Grinaker-LTA has been instrumental in assisting Eskom in maintaining its tight schedule for the targeted Unit 1 synchronisation date and has reported significant progress at the Kusile project,” said Aveng Grinaker-LTA Mechanical and Electrical division project manager Tyrone Juul.

Unit 1 was scheduled for synchronisation in the first half of 2017.

Notable milestones completed by Aveng Grinaker-LTA, to date, were the completion of the auxiliary cooling tower system for units one to three in May, the completion of the common fire water system in June, and the mechanical completion of process and control air systems for units one to three in the west side compressor building in July.
 
“In spite of working in a challenging and an often difficult environment, the Aveng Grinaker-LTA BoP team has stayed focussed on supporting the Eskom goal of achieving the Unit 1 synchronisation date and we are extremely proud of our team for their commitment and dedication towards the success of this project,” stated Juul.
 
To date, the Aveng Grinaker-LTA BoP component of the Kusile project had provided employment for over 200 community members living close to the plant.
