EMBA Electricity Production Co. Inc., which consists of Turkish and Chinese investors, is developing an imported coal-fired thermal power plant project in Turkey with the capacity of 2 x 660 MW with an investment amount of 2.1 billion USD.
The project is located at Sugözü Village of Yumurtalık District in Adana Province. This power plant will operate 8,000 hours per year to generate 11.5 billion kWh of electric power, which will be an important contribution to the energy demand in Turkey.
EMBA has awarded the marine part of engineering studies of the project to ARTI Proje. The scope of our work includes the following work packages: geotechnical investigation, preliminary and detailed design of coal jetty, access structure from plant to marine terminal, and cooling water system.
The Hunutlu Thermal Power Plant comes forward as one of the greatest Chinese investments in Turkey.
Owner: EMBA Electricity Production Co. Inc., as a joint venture company invested by Chinese Shanghai Electric Power Co.
Investment: 2.1 billion USD
The coal jetty is a piled structure built for the operation of ship unloaders that will work on 100,000 DWT vessels. Unloaded coal will be carried to the storage yard on land by means of a conveyor system. The coal jetty is connected to shore via a piled trestle. The coal marine terminal also provides several facilities including conveyor lines running through the trestle, intake structure platform, transfer towers, intake station, comprehensive building and a crusher house.
The coal jetty has a 342.5 m berth length consisting of jetty and mooring dolphins with a minimum draft of 16 m. The trestle is 1,850 m long with differing widths from 9 m to 17 m.
The deck of the trestle and jetty consists of precast and cast-in-situ reinforced concrete members and are founded with steel pipe piles. Different pile diameters and penetration lengths were designed based on the soil conditions beneath the structures.
