2010 starts on a high for CTEC as it is officially awarded a 2 year extension on the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Contract for the 110 MW Gardabani Power Station. The extension came just as the crew reached 300,000 safe mans hour’s accident free.
Under the terms of contract CTEC will provide full O&M support for the 120MW Power Plant for an additional 2 years. This includes a CTEC team of 33 people permanently onsite with all major maintenance requiring specialised expertise to be sourced from CTEC worldwide contact base.
CTEC has been operating and maintaining the plant for four years now accident free. A trait that has impressed owners JSC Energy Invest who renewed the contract officially early this month as the Georgian crew reached 300,000 hours.
This is the second time the performance based contract has been renewed recognising the outstanding effort of all working on the Georgian Project.
CTEC built the gas turbine power plant in Georgia 5 years ago delivering a complete engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) package for the 110MW Gardabani Power Plant Project. Once complete CTEC was awarded the complete O&M package which continues today.
First fire in Gas Turbine 2 at the Kwinana Swift Power Station marks the completion of the cold commissioning for the Gas Turbines.
Thursday 20th May at 6pm CTEC site crew received the first shipment of 50,000L of diesel fuel oil which will be used to power the 2 FT8-3 Swiftpac Gas Turbines at the Kwinana Swift Power Station.
CTEC reached project milestone on the 20th February, with the arrival of 2 Pratt and Whitney Power Systems (PWPS) SwiftPac Gas Turbines (GT’s) at the Kwinana Swift Power Station site.
