Selected project examples

TUAS Singapore entrusted the work of setting of 2x385MW single shaft, gas fired Combined Cycle Power Plant of Stage –II, block 3 & 4 extension to MHI Japan.

Fichtner India carried out the design and detailed engineering of Architectural, Civil and Structural works of the power plant directly to MHI Japan. Design and detailed engineering were carried out as per Singapore and British code. The scope of work included design and detailed engineering of concrete and steel structures, static and dynamic foundations including bored cast in situ piles and pre cast pile foundations etc.

Job was taken at a time when the BS-5950, 2000 was issued for implementation just a week before the start of the project. Fichtner India took the challenge of implementing the latest code with its limit state design method, even though the design software package did not supported built up sections at that time. Fichtner India customized design spread sheet to handle design of all built-up sections for all load combinations to ensure smooth integration with STAAD design output of the whole structure. The job was completed successfully and all the design and drawings were cleared by Govt. of Singapore well ahead of stipulated time. Plant is in operation.
