Steel Structure Power Plant Video

Depending on the size of the steam generator, between 20 and 40 working platforms are required. For their construction, the entire range of available rolled sections is used. Rolled sections are used almost everywhere for both the supports and main and secondary beams of the platforms. For the storage of the coal, a bunker is required. While the bunker structure normally consists of heavy I-sections or box sections, the house structure and working platforms are normally made of rolled sections. In the air heater house, which is attached to the boiler house, fresh air is pre-heated by the flue gas stream. Again, rolled sections are used for the house structure and working platforms. Then there is also the power house and dependent buildings that are constructed mainly with rolled sections.

In addition to using rolled I-sections as bending beams and supports in platforms, façades and steel structures, they are also often used in bracings and trusses.

Combined gas and steam turbine power plants and alternate fuel power plants (e.g. fired with wood chips) are being built in increasing numbers due to their high efficiency as well as their use of renewable raw materials and alternate materials. The decentralised construction of such power plants provides for short delivery routes, both for the energy carriers and the energy itself. In these kinds of power plants, rolled sections are not only profitably used for the surrounding structures, but also for internal structures (platforms and supporting framework). We sell I-sections, U-sections and steel angles and bars. The product range includes all dimensions of European standards and a large number of British, American, Chinese, Russian and Japanese standards.

For the operator of a power plant it is very important that the construction takes place as quickly and smoothly as possible, because the sooner the construction work is completed, the sooner the power plant can be put into operation. The use of rolled sections has the advantage that their higher degree of fabrication considerably reduces the construction time. This advantage is also important for the construction company, since shorter construction times have economic advantages.
