Monday, August 11, 2008
Stroytransgaz has begun assembling the metal carcass at the main building of the Yugo-Zapadnaya TEC in St. Petersburg. The customer is Yugo-Zapadnaya TEC and its investor – Sintez. The columns of the main corpus are being assembled now. The building will contain a machinery hall, a boiler shop, racks with electrical devices, and an aerating unit.
As general contractor, Stroytransgaz will complete construction-assembly work at 48 facilities of the Yugo-Zapadnaya TEC.
The company is finishing construction of the materials warehouse, the support services corpus, hot water supply tanks, and a number of administrative buildings. Work continues on the foundation for the central pumping station and the pumping station for diesel fuel. Also underway are assembly of metalwork for the production-firefighting pumping station, the tanks with water reserves for firefighting, and the modular reinforced concrete framing for the cooling tower with flooding area of 2,300 square meters. The fire station and shelter for 150 persons have been started.
The first line of the Yugo-Zapadnaya cogeneration plant – generating capacity of 200 MW and thermal heating capacity of 260 Gcal – is scheduled for commissioning in the fourth quarter of 2009. The facility is to reach full capacity of 579 MW and 660 Gcal in 2011. The power station will bring heat and electricity to the Kirov and Krasnoselsk regions in the southwestern part of St. Petersburg where residential housing is being increased. The new TEC will provide energy to the multifunctional Baltiyskaya Zhemchushnaya (The Baltic Pearl) housing complex. Its territory will exceed one million square meters.
