oosan, KEPCO SPC Power Corporation’s main contractor for the 200-

megawatt Cebu Power Plant Project, received a much deserved recognition last April 14, 2009 for achieving 1 million manhours without Loss Time Accident (LTA) during the course of the construction of the project from February 15, 2008 to March 19, 2009.

The celebration at the construction site was also dubbed as “Safety Day.” To recall, with the guidance of KSPC, Doosan has launched the Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Program in line with KSPC’s commitment of protecting the safety of the environment, the affected community and the people at the construction site.

mindset: “We must come home to our family safe and complete.”

On the otherhand, KSPC extended its appreciation not only to the main contractor and subcontractors but to the entire workforce for their big contribution in attaining another milestone of the project, this time the “Zero Accident” Target. The program was capped by the partaking of lunch by the engineers, guests and all the workers.

Slipforming Works

A

nother state of the art technology in the field of construction industry is

slipforming. Although slip forming is not new in the construction industry, this is not applicable for all types of structures. This is most effective only to special constructions such as silos, smokestack and any round structure.

KSPC will use this technology in order to enhance and attain a timely completion of its project. In this way, the construction process will be done continuously from start to finish, especially in the construction of our smokestack. The structure has a total height of 110 meters above ground with a diameter of 9 meters.
