Mammoet starts construction of combined cycle gas turbine power plant for future use of hydrogen

Mammoet was able to convince with a tailor-made engineering concept and comprehensive studies as well as its proven experience in power plant construction. The team had already demonstrated its expertise in the dismantling of Block 1 of the EnBW Neckarwestheim nuclear power plant.

The service package includes just-in-time delivery, handling and unloading, interim storage and the installation of HRSG modules, generators, turbines and transformers.

Andreas Franzke, Sales Manager and Segment Lead Power at Mammoet in Germany, explained: "A completely new concept has been developed in close cooperation with the client and our project team. This means a secure energy supply, fewer interfaces and smooth processes on the construction site.”

On Mammoet's recommendation, a separate temporary jetty was built so that the power plant's fuel loading point would not be additionally burdened by unloading for the construction site.

A 1350 t crawler crane will allow all heavy lifting for unloading and installation to be carried out safely and efficiently from one crane location. In addition, SPMTs, a customised gantry system and other special equipment will also be used.

“We are very pleased to be involved in this important construction project, which is part of the energy transition in Baden-Württemberg. It is a significant step into the future of using green hydrogen in facilities in Germany and beyond,” said Andreas Franzke.

The Mammoet team will work on behalf of the Sener Bonatti joint venture (JV).
