Ruukki to Deliver Frame, Envelope Structures for Jelgava CHP Plant
04/20/2012 - Ruukki is responsible for the manufacture and installation of the frame structures and for the design, manufacture, and installation of the envelope structures for a combined heat and power (CHP) plant to be built in Jelgava, Latvia.
Ruukki has signed a contract to supply the steel frame and envelope structures for a combined heat and power (CHP) plant to be built in Jelgava, Latvia. Ruukki is responsible for the manufacture and installation of the frame structures and for the design, manufacture, and installation of the envelope structures.
Ruukki’s customer is Metso Corp., which is delivering the CHP plant to Fortum Jelgava SIA.
Expected to be completed in 2013, the plant will generate heat for the Jelgava district heat system and electricity for the Latvian grid. The CHP plant was designed by Metso and will be fired by biofuel, partly by peat and some recycled wood, and will replace the natural gas used at the existing plant.
The Jelgava plant will have an annual production of some 230 GW·h of heat and around 110 GW·h of electricity.
Ruukki plans to begin manufacturing the structures this spring and installation work is scheduled for completion in early 2013. The structures will be manufactured by Ruukki’s plants in Finland, Poland, and Lithuania.
Ruukki provides its customers with energy-efficient steel solutions. It operates in about 30 countries and employs around 11,800 people. Net sales in 2011 totaled EUR 2.8 billion.
