YIT to deliver piping to the new Marchwood power plant in the UK
YIT Industrial and Network Services and Siemens Plc have agreed on a delivery of piping for the Marchwood combined cycle gas turbine power plant in Southampton, UK. The delivery comprises design, materials, prefabrication and installation.
YIT will provide 1,000 tonnes of piping for the project, including main steam and low-pressure piping. Among the ordinary power plant steel pipes, the delivery includes rubber-lined cooling water piping, concrete-covered gas pipes, as well as fibreglass and high density polyethylene piping. The design of the piping will commence immediately and the delivery is slated for completion towards the end of 2008.
In recent years, Siemens has ordered similar major deliveries from YIT for projects in countries such as Ireland, Latvia, Sweden and Norway. All these commissions have been end-to-end deliveries, including materials, design, prefabrication and installation. Finnish YIT installation technicians and welders have participated in the most demanding installation works. Design has employed 3D models, enabling a high degree of piping prefabrication. This has considerably shortened installation times.
The Marchwood power plant is a joint project of ESBI International and Scottish and Southern Energy. It is being implemented by Siemens Power Generation. Upon its completion in summer 2009, the Marchwood power plant will generate 840 MW of electricity with two gas turbines and one steam turbine.
