Kogan Creek Power Station
Australia's Largest Single Turbine Power Station — 750MW
Australia's Largest Single Turbine Power Station — 750MW
Kogan Creek Power Station near Chinchilla, Queensland, is the largest single-turbine power station in Australia at 750 megawatts. Contracted by Siemens PG AG / GEA for CS Energy Australia, AJM United peaked at 250 employees and provided a large multi-discipline project management team to deliver this landmark project.
Milestones engineered into delivery.
Quantifiable wins from a programme delivered to the highest engineering, safety and environmental standards.
The Challenge.
Power piping to ASME standard required multiple different exotic materials, all forms of non-destructive testing (NDT), and specialist welders for titanium, Monel, and other exotic materials. The highest test pressure reached 60,000 kPa — requiring AJM United to design and manufacture a custom hydro test pump. Wall cladding installation was ultimately achieved via helicopter after crane and scaffold access was made cost-prohibitive — a creative and technically complex solution.
Scope of Works.
- Structural steel erection — 5,000t (steam turbine & associated buildings)
- Roofing and wall cladding — approx. 18,000m²
- Air-cooled condensers supply & installation
- 16km of ducting (1.8m to 8m diameter)
- 35km of various High & Low Alloy Piping to ASME standard
- Valves, GRP, Pipe Supports/Hangers & Instrumentation
- Specialist NDT and exotic material welding (Titanium, Monel)
- Custom hydro test pump (60,000 kPa test pressure)
- Helicopter-assisted wall sheeting erection
