In operation since 1972, Kozienice is the second largest coal-fired power station in Poland, and boasts the highest production capacity. A new 1,075 MW power unit has been under construction since 2012, which is set to increase Poland’s power production by around 5%.
ULMA Construction has supplied the equipment to build several installations for this project: a boiler room, a flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) system, an electrical equipment building and a cooling tower.
The project includes a 4 m wide and 2.7 m tall underground hot water pipe, that runs from the edge to the centre of the tower, and thereon upwards to a height of 20 m. ORMA formwork was used for the walls, and VR tables for rooftop perimeter formwork, in two sizes: 150 x 270 cm and 150 x 360 cm, which is easy to manipulate and adaptable to any space.
ULMA Construction met all the requirements for the project: low cost, high quality standards and demanding safety requirements.
