Project Description…
The project consisted of the design of a green-field diesel power generation station with unique logistics considerations and planning. The Plant was designed for complete prefabrication offsite, with modular transportation during extremely short winter road availability. Construction spanned two consecutive winters, with summer activities limited to transportation by aircraft or seasonal barge. Facilities included four identical power plants with independent cooling and exhaust systems. Central utility service complex provided fluid storage and replenishment for 18 months supply of all required fluids as well as all electrical switchgear and station service equipment. Most equipment had redundant online spares available. The entire facility was designed for prevention of any environmental impact; all piping and fluid containment was dual contained, with leak and level detection instrumentation to automatically shut down operation to prevent fluid losses. The project life-span included feasibility and justification, through preliminary scoping, to detailed design and construction support.
