And other buildings e.g. a coal-and biomass-fired power plant with a peak power of 800 MW.
The construction site was located on the current site of EMO (Europees Massagoed-Overslagbedrijf) on the Maasvlakte, sandwiched between the Beerkanaal and the Amazonehaven. The construction site is vacated by EMO prior to construction. The construction site was easily accessible. During construction we had to take into account the traffic movements of EMO-vehicles, shipping and the adjacent Gasunie Peakshaver complex.
The project management structure was similar to an alliance contract. The (detailed) price setting after contract award has a number of phases, which allow optimisations to be developed and priced. Cost savings in this project are allocated on the basis of a distribution key to both the client and the Main Contractor.
The Rotterdam power plant is expanded by building 8 coal blending silos.
