(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PÖYRY PLC Press Release 6 February 2017 10:00 (EET)
Strabag SpA has awarded Pöyry with an engineering services assignment for the
Alto Maipo hydropower project located in the Maipo river basin, Chile. The
assignment includes review of constructability and preliminary engineering,
detail design and preparation of tender documents for hydromechanical and
electrical works, O&M Manuals and site supervision during installation and
commissioning.
Strabag is one of the two main contractors for the Alto Maipo hydropower
project, consisting of two run-of-the-river hydroelectric plants with a total
capacity of 531 MW. Construction of the 267 MW Las Lajas plant and 264 MW
Alfalfal II plant began in the fourth quarter, 2013. The plants are expected to
be commissioned in 2019. The combined annual production is expected to be
approximately 2,320GWh, which will be delivered to Chile's Sistema
Interconectado Central ("SIC").
Pöyry is already working successfully with a subsidiary of Strabag, Züblin
International, delivering engineering services for the La Mina hydropower
project.
"This assignment further strengthens Pöyry's position as one of the world's
leading hydropower engineering consultancies. Our approach, combining local
engineering know-how with international expertise is very well received by
clients. After re-establishing Pöyry's office in Chile in 2014, this is an
important milestone in delivering locally-provided engineering services. We are
pleased by the trust Strabag has shown in Pöyry and look forward to developing
our excellent relations, especially in a project as challenging as Alto Maipo,"
explains Patrick Furrer, Country Manager of Pöyry in Chile.
The value of the order is not disclosed. The order was recognised within the
Energy Business Group order stock in Q4 2016.
