????It has set up a world record in that it just took 72 days from gas turbine preparation to lighting. With 1,230 MW installed capacity, the power plant can produce ten billion kW electricity per year to meet the demand of more than 4 million households to ease the electricity shortage of Pakistan. The station has 2 gas turbines, 2 waste heat boilers and 1 turbine unit, which adopts world leading Revolutionary 9H combined cycle turbine unit, which is the gas turbine with the highest initial temperature, power and efficiency in current world with high reliability, flexibility and low cost. The power plant uses gasified and liquidized natural gas as main fuel and high-speeddiesel as a backup. Up to 1,230 MW electricity will be transmitted by 500kV power grid.

????SECOIII took just 90 days and 72 days from 9H gas turbine prepare to lighting for 2 turbines, set world record.

????The TBM is for Philippine’s Angat project, a large diversion project to solve water resource shortage in Manila area. To boost the project, Philippine counterpart signed purchase contract after visited design, R&D, parts purchase, assembly parts of CSHI (Qingdao). The officials from CSHI (Qingdao) said the 4.94-meters tunneling machine designed and developed by the company works better in local construction sites. They made a record in the industry with completing assembly and test work within one month. The tunneling machine uses to high wear-resistance materials to enhance wear-resistance of cutter and screw machine, which can work well in different rock formations alongside the route. The machine has efficiency, 6-8 times than human tunneling. (Liu Ping) [Photo: TBM machine customized for Philippine in final test.]
