LINKOU POWER PLANT RENEWAL EXPANSION PLAN HARBOR BASIN DREDGING AND TAIPEI HARBOR SOUTH TERMINAL LAND RECLAMATION PROJECT
MAA was engaged by the Honghua Construction Co. for PCM services for the dredging near Linkou Power Plant and land reclamation at the Taipei Harbor South Terminal. The dredging area is located in the northern section of the Linkou Power Plant in New Taipei City, with a dredging area of approximately 148ha. The main reclamation ground is located in Bali district located at Taipei Harbor South Terminal C with a reclamation area of approximately 52 ha.
The Linkou Power Plant plans to upgrade its capabilities by incorporating supercritical coal-fired technologies. To enable these systems, coal must be imported internationally by collier bulk carriers. The water depth of the existing coal unloading port and canal are insufficient for standard 150,000 ton colliers, necessary to power three supercritical coal-fired fuel generators (capable of generating up to 800 MW each). For the dredging process, Honghua Construction Co. acquired the services of the world largest cutter suction dredger (CSD) “JFJ De Nul”, capable of cutting powers up to 7,600 kW, to shorten the schedule of this project. Honghua Construction Co. also acquired the services of the Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) “Charles Darwin” and open barges. These crucial equipments for the dredging were required to dredge against hard mud rock and resist the wave force caused by north east monsoon winds.
Scope of Services
MAA was engaged to provide PCM services for the following:
- 148 hectares dredging at the Linkou Harbor, estimated total excavation of 5.1 million cubic meters
- Dredging of pebbles & rock formations(SPT-N> 100).
- Taipei Harbor South Terminal Land Reclamation of approximately 62 hectares, estimated land reclamation amount of 8.1 million cubic meters
- Other constructions at the reclamation area include existing embankment repair, new secondary height up embankment
- Harbor dredging, land reclamation, environmental protection, port shipping maintenance
