KSPC’S CHIMNEY TO RISE 110 METERS HIGH INTO THE SKY

C e

ebu Power Plant’s tall chimney will soon rise into the sky as the

astounding erection of this important feature of the project has already commenced. Concrete pouring work has started and will continue until the height of 110 meters from the ground of the structure is achieved. The slip-forming equipment used was imported from Sweden. The technology was introduced in the country by a Hungarian. This is now being enjoyed by both the Filipinos and the Korean nationals who are implementing the construction work.

eanwhile, the rate of concrete casting is 600 mm high every 4 hours.

The cement to be poured is being monitored and the temperature is being controlled in order to stabilize the concrete before the forms slip up to the next elevation. The rebar preparation and installation are done in advance so that they will not be caught up by the advancing pouring of concrete.

The chimney has strong foundation that can withstand the forces of nature and carry the load of the structure itself. The foundation alone can consume 770 cubic meters of ready mix concrete with strength of 30 megapascals reinforced by 231 tons of rebar. Once completed, the new skyscraper, which has a fascinating dome figure on its top, will be a new landmark in Naga, Cebu.

he MOO defines how the MMT should operate with regards to monitoring

activities, rules and regulations, trainings, sampling methods, and all other areas of concern. With the development of this manual, the different activities of the group can be done smoothly and in line with their goals.

There was a site visit in the afternoon to provide a visual compliment of the project status. The whole event created a benchmark for the committee’s goals in formulating the yearly work and financial plan. Furthermore, this marked the beginning of the group’s adherence to their Mission and Vision for the year 2009: “Our Environment, Our People, Our Concern.”
