Ruukki delivers steel structures for one of the world’s largest biomass power plants

wnp.pl The new power plant unit to be built in Polaniec near Krakow will be one the world’s largest biofuelled power plants.
Finnish specialist in metal-based components and systems, Rautaruukki will deliver steel structures for a new unit to be built at the Połaniec power plant in Poland. The unit will be one of the world's largest power plants fuelled by biomass. The value of the contract is nearly 13 million euro, including the manufacture, delivery and installation of the steel frame structures and foundations for the boiler and auxiliary equipment buildings.

The boiler building of the new power plant unit will be approximately 2500 square metres in size, and in almost 67 metres roughly the height of a 20-storey building. When the new unit will be commissioned toward the end of 2012, it will expand southeast Poland’s largest power plant Połaniec. The entire power plant has an output of over 7 terawatt-hours of power energy per year, equal to the supply for over 2 million households.

- The design and manufacture of structures for industrial buildings is always demanding because the structures must be capable of supporting very heavy loads, says Jouni Metsämäki, Senior Vice President, Central Eastern Europe, Ruukki Construction.

Rautaruukki's customer in the new project is the global supplier of engineering, building and energy generation technology, Foster Wheeler Energia Polska. The developer is Poland’s fifth largest power producer GDF SUEZ Energia Polska S.A. The power plant unit will be located on the Vistula river, near Połaniec in the Świętokrzyskie province.
