ACC delivered the civil and structural works on the Reverse Osmosis Plant Extension Project in Fujairah, UAE.
The Project comprises the detailed design, procurement and construction of Civil & Structural works of Reverse Osmosis Extension Plant facilities on unused land that forms part of the existing F1 Plant. The scope also included ACC laying the GRP pipeline network including steel supports installation.
The 23 MIGD Mirfa desalination plant serves the southern areas of the Abu Dhabi region.
It is comprised of three MSF distillers, each with a capacity of 7.5MIGD. The steam is provided by two boilers. ACC’s scope of works of the project also included a 650 m cable tunnel, a 2.5 km long x 2.8 m diameter discharge pipe, 65 m diameter steel tanks, a seawater intake structure and an outfall structure.
The Shuweihat S1 1500 MW combined cycle power plant is currently one of the world’s largest combined power and water plant complexes, delivering 1500 MW of power to the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The plant consists of five Siemens v94.3A gas turbines, two 251 MW steam turbines, seven electrical generators and all the ancillary systems. It is linked to a seawater desalination facility which is supplied with steam from the turbines.
This project was an Independent Water and Power Project commissioned on a Build Operate transfer (BOT) basis.
ACC was the civil works and structural steel contractor on this 50 MIGD desalination plant, which was completed in 2001. Complementing the Taweelah A2 Power Plant, the desalination plant was awarded as a BOT contract and executed on a fast-track basis.
Water production is achieved from four MSF distillers, each weighing 3,500 tons and measuring 90 m long by 30 m wide, fired by waste heat from the gas and steam turbines. Each distiller has a capacity of 12.5 MIG per day.
The scope of work included civil works for the four MSF distillers, a switchgear building (for desalination and remineralisation plants), a chlorination building, 4 large potable water storage tanks, a potable water pump house, a 1.1 Km discharge culvert and other related structures.
ACC was the civil and structural steel contracting partner for Doosan Heavy Industries for the Umm Al Nar desalination plant, which was completed in 2002.
The plant is able to produce 62.5 MIGD and was built on a fast-track basis. Out of a total of 65,000 m3 of concrete, ACC managed to pour 50,000 m3 of concrete in less than five months.
The project consisted of five distillers, each measuring 90 m long by 30 m, five low pressure boilers, four 75 m diameter water tanks, a 1.1 km discharge culvert, an outlet structure, 5 km roadworks, a remineralisation plant, a potable water pump station and 31 other plant structures.
The Fujairah F1 Power Plant is located in Qidfa on the Gulf of Oman.
It is one of the largest operating plants in the world with a power capacity of 893 MW and a seawater desalination capacity of 100 million imperial gallons or 455,000 cubic metres per day.
Completed in 2003, ACC were subcontracted by Doosan Heavy Industries for the civil works and steel structure on this IWPP.
