Malaysia’s Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant Site Completes Heavy Girder Erection
using New Construction Method for the First time in the World

Daelim’s Malaysia Fast Track 3A site completed heavy girder erection on March 21, 2014 using a Strand Jack method for the first time in the world. The new method involves lifting a structure in a rise and fall system by installing lifting equipment on the steel frame structure, which has the merit of enabling application of the method in a narrow area. Cost-saving effect of USD 2.3 million was realized as well, thanks to the low equipment rental fee, transport, and installation expenses.

To apply the new construction method, steel-frame design was performed in consultation with a boiler supplier; pre-coordination was carried out so that the method could be reflected on the selection of the onsite construction company as well. In this way, heavy girder erection was successfully completed in the Fast Track 3A site 4.5 months ahead of the original schedule, earning the client’s trust and proving Daelim’s project implementation competencies in the Malaysian market.

The project involves building a 1,000MW coal-fired thermal power plant. Daelim is in charge of design and equipment and materials purchase and construction. The construction is located in the Manjung area about 288km northwest of Kuala Lumpur.
