Alstom Group, a global leader in power and rail transport, has signed a turnkey contract with GSE to design and build a production plant for manufacturing boilers, in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. This new development, which involves a total covered surface area of 150,000sqm, and built on a 47 hectare site, comprises workshops 120 000sqm, offices 15,000sqm including a conference room of 500 seats, manufacturing office and social room 9,000sqm, on completion it will become one of the largest-scale project GSE has ever built. The project kicked off in April this year and is scheduled to be completed in the middle of 2009. This new factory will have the capacity to produce 600 MW supercritical and 1000 MW ultra-supercritical boilers as well as large circulating fluidized bed boilers combining Alstom’s supercritical and ultra-supercritical pulverized coal technology, circulating fluidized boilers and low-Nox burners. Working on a turnkey basis allows Alstom to reap the benefits of single-source accountability, better control over design and construction costs, increased owner role in the process, and better management of project risk. During the construction, GSE has sought out the latest technological advancements to incorporate into the works. This industrial complex features eco technologies such as energy-saving lighting, solar water heaters, geothermal system, heat exchangers and increase the insulation of the buildings. GSE believes that the environmental initiatives will not only contribute to the protection of the environment but will also boost productivity and reduce costs by improving indoor environmental quality and increasing overall energy and operational efficiencies.
