SGS Provides Technical Consulting for Belchatow Power Plant in Poland
SGS Industrial Services was assigned a contract to provide Technical Consulting for the construction of the new 858 MW unit in the Belchatow Power Plant in Poland in January 2007.
- (1888PressRelease) May 03, 2011 - In January 2007, SGS was awarded a contract to provide Technical Consulting for the construction of the new 858 MW unit in the Belchatow Power Plant in Poland, a large 4,440 MW lignite-fired power station, situated near Belchatow, an industrial city in Poland.
With a view to increase the total capacity of the power station to 5,258 MW while contributing to a reduction in both fuel consumption and emissions, as compared to the existing unit, PGE Elektrownia Belchatow S.A., a subsidiary of the Polish Energy Group, decided to modernize the plant while also beginning construction of the new 858 MW unit.
In order to proceed with such an extensive project in compliance with all relevant regulations and requirements, the project owner looked for a Technical Adviser - a reliable inspection, verification, testing and certification company. In January 2007, due to its extensive experience and competence, SGS Poland was awarded a contract to provide extensive Technical Consulting Services for the entire project, including review of initial design and documentation, Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Construction Supervision.
With Design Verification (link to: http://www.sgs.com/design_verification-5?serviceId=10069410&lobId=5550), SGS ensured at an early stage in cooperation with the client that the design of the new unit was in accordance with proven industry standards and met given international and local requirements for operational, safety and environmental performance. Based on its substantial experience in projects of this kind, SGS provided verification for the design drawings, review of installation specifications and verification of material certificates as well as reviewed various concepts, including flue gas desulfurization, flue gas heat recovery, CO2 emissions, co-firing coal and process automation and monitoring.
In order to ensure that the construction of the 858 MW unit is in compliance with all contractual specifications, codes, standards and government regulations, the team of SGS's experts in relation with the investor provides both Quality Assurance and Quality Control (link to: http://www.sgs.com/quality-assurance-and-quality-control?serviceId=16857&lobId=5550) inspections for the duration of the construction works. With Quality Assurance and Quality Control, SGS verifies materials and machinery equipment through checks, audits, inspection and witnessing. Based on its extensive skills in the construction industry, SGS also conducts Construction Supervision for the Belchatow Power Plant. With a team of highly qualified experts, SGS supports the client in carrying out independent site inspections and Factory Acceptance tests to guarantee that the new unit is constructed according to local and international standards.
