Toyo wins contracts for power plant in Japan, petrochemical unit in Indonesia WCN EDITORIAL TEAM 5 JUN 2018

Japanese company Toyo Engineering has won a contract from Obayashi Kamisu Biomass Power Generation to construct a 50MW-class biomass power plant jointly with Obayashi Corporation in Kamisu-shi, Ibaraki Prefecture.

Under the contract, Toyo Engineering will construct a dedicated biomass-fired power plant that will use wood pellets as primary fuel.

The facility will be a highly efficient biomass-fired plant based on the reheat system where steam, after expansion through high pressure steam turbine, will be sent back and reheated in the boiler, then resent to the low pressure steam turbine for further expansion, resulting in high power generation efficiency.

Toyo Engineering will carry out the EPC turnkey contract on a full turn-key basis, which includes engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services for a power generation unit.

The construction is scheduled for completion in 2021.

Toyo has been working on thermal power plants and photovoltaic power plants, positioning the infrastructure field centred on power generation plants as one of its core businesses.

The company has also won an EPC contract from PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical (CAP) of Indonesia and its subsidiary PT Petrokimia Butadiene Indonesia (PBI) for the construction of 43,000 tpa Butene-1 production unit, 127,000 tpa Methyl tert-butyl ether production unit, and 220 tonnes/hour Enclosed Ground Flare.

These facilities will be constructed inside CAP’s petrochemical complex in Cilegon, Banten, on the western tip of Java, Indonesia.

Toyo Engineering will be in charge of a part of engineering and offshore supply services and PT Inti Karya Persada Tehnik, Toyo’s Indonesian subsidiary, will be responsible for engineering, domestic procurement and construction work.

The plant is scheduled for completion in 2020.

Currently, Toyo is executing several projects, including a 400,000 tpa polyethylene production plant for CAP, a 120,000 tpa synthetic rubber plant for PT Synthetic Rubber Indonesia, a joint venture between Michelin and PT Styrindo Mono Indonesia, a subsidiary of CAP.

The company is also executing a project to expand butadiene production capacity from 100,000 tpa to 137,000 tpa for PBI.

HCC wins $110m nuclear power contract in Bangladesh WCN EDITORIAL TEAM 7 JUN 2018

Indian infrastructure company Hindustan Construction Company (HCC), in a joint venture with Bangladeshi construction company MAX Group, has won a $110m contract for civil works of Turbine Island for Unit 1 of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant in Bangladesh.

The contract has been awarded by Russia’s state nuclear company, JSC Atomstroyexport. HCC’s share in the joint venture is 40% ($44m).

The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, located 190km away from Dhaka, will be built with Russian technology and equipped with two VVER Reactors of 1,200MW each. These reactors are similar to those at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu.

HCC director and group CEO Arjun Dhawan said: “HCC has become the first Indian company to participate in the international civil nuclear market. We are confident of delivering this job on time with precision in quality, safety, and state-of-the-art technology.

“We look forward to further project awards in Rooppur NPP and expanding our infrastructure footprint in Bangladesh.”

India has recently signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Bangladesh, under which India has extended expertise and project support for the neighbouring country’s first nuclear power plant.

India cannot participate directly in the construction of atomic power reactors as it is not a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). But Indian companies can participate in the construction and installation works and in the supply of equipment of non-critical category.

HCC is the only Indian company which has constructed a nuclear power project with Russian VVER type Light Water nuclear reactors.

The company has constructed 65% of the country’s installed nuclear power capacity and 15 of the 24 nuclear reactors in India have been built by HCC.

31

http://www.worldconstructionnetwork.com/author/WCN%20Editorial%20Team


India’s largest light water reactors at Kudankulam nuclear power plant were built by HCC in 2010.

HCC is currently involved in the construction of the first phase of Integrated Nuclear Recycle Plant of BARC in Tarapur, Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle Facility (FRFCF) in Kalpakkam and Units 7 and 8 (2×700MW) PWHR at Rawatbhata, Kota, Rajasthan.

The PMGSY will build 7,000 km of climate resilient roads, out of which 3,500 km will be constructed using green technologies.

The World Bank has supported PMGSY since its inception in 2004.

So far it has invested over $1.8 billion in loans and credits mostly in the economically weaker and hill states across North India - Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh.

It has built and improved about 35,000 km of rural roads and benefited about eight million people with access to all-weather roads.

The loan agreement for the project was signed by Sameer Kumar Khare, joint secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, on behalf of the government of India and Junaid Ahmad, country director, World Bank India, on behalf of the World Bank in the presence of Alka Upadhyaya, joint secretary (RC), Ministry of Rural Development.

"The PMGSY over the years has brought about a paradigm shift in the way rural roads are mapped, designed, monitored and built, involving communities especially women," said Khare.

"The additional finance will bring a new shift in construction technology using green and low carbon designs and climate resilient construction techniques. Now more rural communities will have access to better economic opportunities and social services," Khare added.

Adequate maintenance of the existing 4.6 million km of road network is emerging as a major challenge.

Many parts of the existing road network are either vulnerable to or have already suffered damage from climate induced events such as floods, high rainfall, sudden cloud bursts and land-slides.

"To support the rural economy and communities and households that depend on rural livelihoods, it will be critical to ensure that infrastructure is built and maintained to withstand climatic changes," said Junaid Ahmad, World Bank Country Director in India.

"This project will demonstrate how climate resilient construction can be integrated in the strategy and planning of rural roads," he added.

The PMGSY and the Bank's involvement under this additional financing, will emphasise on managing the rural road network through green and climate-resilient construction using green, low-carbon designs and new technologies - far beyond merely funding civil works.

This will be done through the following measures: climate vulnerability assessment during the design process to identify the critical locations affected by floods, water-logging, submergence, cloud bursts, storms, landslides, poor drainage, excessive erosion, high rainfall, and high temperatures.

Special treatment for flood-affected areas through adequate waterways and submersible roads to allow easy passage of water, use of concrete block pavements, and improved drainage; use of environmentally optimised road designs and new technologies which uses local and marginal materials and industrial by-products such as sand, local soils, fly ash, brick kiln wastes, and other similar materials in place of crushed rocks; innovative bridges and culverts through use of pre-fabricated/pre-cast units for roads and bridges having better ability to withstand earthquakes and water forces such as continuous beams, bearing free construction, and river training works; use of hill cutting material in hill roads ensuring its productive use and resolving its disposal problem, use of bio-engineering measures, improved drainage and other treatments for landslide prone areas and providing adequate slope protection.

The additional financing will also fill the gender gap by creating employment opportunities for women in construction and maintenance.

The earlier project had piloted community-based maintenance contracts through women self-help groups (SHGs) for routine maintenance of 200 km of PMGSY roads in Uttarakhand, Meghalaya and Himachal Pradesh.

SHG-run maintenance contracts will now be extended to about 500 km roads over five states.

"All components of the project will have substantial climate co-benefits and help road agencies in India to substantially minimise GHG emissions. Improving road conditions alone will result on an average in direct savings of 2.68 million tons annually in GHG emissions and minimise the annual losses of about USD 9 billion in the road asset value and an equal amount by way of high vehicle operating costs," said Ashok Kumar, senior highway engineer and World Bank's task team leader for the project.
