Seizing the opportunity by overcoming challenges L&T-S&L was entrusted by an EPC company based in the Middle East with detailed engineering of a combined cycle power plant in the region.
The company’s scope included detailed designing and preparation of Foundation General Arrangement drawings as well as Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) of the Steam Turbine Generator foundation which is the most critical part of a power station. Considering the magnitude of load of electricity producing equipment foundation i.e. the Steam Turbine Generator foundation, the scope became wider and the project in turn, rendered even more challenging.
Further, the project presented other challenges including a mandate for bar bending schedule, which is usually managed by an off-site execution management team. Considering the criticality and complexities of steam turbine engine’s foundation in terms of size, geometry, numerous openings, embedment and large density of reinforcement bars in concrete elements, it was included in the company’s scope of work. Besides, delayed arrival of input for machine foundation left no room for any mistake or rework and completing the project within the given time frame thus became quite demanding. Amongst other construction challenges, placement of reinforcement in large concrete mat and its blocks with multiple embedded parts, requirement of big size cutouts in wall as well as slab, etc. were the significant ones.
