Power supply for Taiwan residents and industries
MAA has performed geotechnical analysis work for several power plants in Taiwan. A project worth mentioning is the Hsinta Power Plant, a coal-fired power plant in Yong'an District and Qieding District in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. With a total installed capacity of 4,326 MW, the plant was Taiwan's second largest coal-fired power plant after the 5,500 MW Taichung Power Plant (coal-generated power only). The power source in 1996 was changed to LNG and made Hsinta one of the cleanest plants in the world.
Scope of work
MAA first performed a soil liquefaction study, including geological survey, evaluation and testing of ground improvement, design and analysis of plant pile testing, stress analysis and monitoring of stack, evaluation of ground settlement. Later on, to improve the air pollution produced by its power plants, the Taiwan Power Company decided to equip them with electrostatic dust collectors; as a result, MAA was commissioned to provide pile load test service for future design references of the dust collectors. In total, MAA performed more than 15 contracts for Taiwan Power at the Hsinta Power Plant.
