ARCADIS to perform owner's engineering services for realization of thermal power plant in Amazonas, Brazil
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the leading pure play global engineering and
consultancy firm, announced today that its Brazilian subsidiary, ARCADIS Logos,
was selected by Amazonas Distribuidora de Energia S.A. (ADE) to perform owner's
engineering services for the construction of a new natural gas fueled thermal
power plant with a capacity of 583MW. Located near the city of Manaus, Amazonas,
the new plant (named Mauá 3) will replace the current diesel-fueled thermal
power plant. Total investment for the project will be approximately ?350 million
and the new plant should be operational in mid-2014. ARCADIS will work on the
project for 27 months for a total value of ?5 million.
ADE, a subsidiary of Eletrobras, generates and transmits the electrical energy
for Amazonas State. In its role as owner's engineer in this project, ARCADIS
Logos will ensure fulfillment of all contractual conditions during the
development phase of the project. ADE has contracted a Brazilian contractor to
build the plant in an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) model, and
has contracted ARCADIS Logos to act as the owner's engineer with a scope of
services that include review and validation of design & engineering, planning,
supervision of health and safety, environmental aspects and construction, as
well as quality control, and assistance during commissioning and trial
operation. The plant will have two gas turbines, two heat recovery steam
generators and one steam turbine. It will be the biggest power plant to operate
with natural gas in the Amazon region.
"ARCADIS Logos has performed design, engineering and/or managed the construction
of 20% of the total capacity of thermal power plants in operation in the Brazil
today, combined at more than 7,100 MW capacity, with fuels that vary from
biomass, biogas, natural gas and coal. In addition it has also developed
feasibility studies and basic design to several other projects that - if
implemented - would deliver a combined capacity of up to 8,100 MW. The company
also has extensive experience in hydropower projects. Through the Mauá 3 thermal
power plant, ARCADIS Logos is, once again, playing a very important role in the
country's continuous development, keeping its position as one of the leaders in
thermal power plant design", said Manoel Antonio Avelino, CEO of ARCADIS Logos.
