COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT

DOCK SUD S.A.

RIVER COOLING WATER INTAKE N° 1 y 3

Adequacy

 

During 1999 Dock Sud S.A. built a new Combined Cycle Power Plant in Dock Sud – Avellaneda – Buenos Aires Province.

Due to the necessity of cooling water, the old intake channels Nº 1 and 3, which link the “Riachuelo” with the new pump house, were adapted.

COINTEC participated in the civil preliminary Project for the adequacy of the underground collection channels by checking and modifying the existing reinforced concrete structures and piling and, at the same time, planning new distribution channels and inspection wells.

 

SAN LORENZO HARBOUR

ESSO S.A.P.A.

 

Given the Risk Assessment Conditions defined by ESSO Company internationally, the redesigning of San Lorenzo Plant’s services was necessary.

COINTEC participated in this Project performing the following tasks in San Lorenzo’s Harbour:

 

• Dock and Mooring Dolphins Topographic Survey
• Bathymetry for the installation of water intakes for the fire fighting system.
• Design of water intake for plant supply system.
• Fire fighting system revamping.

 

Grain Storage Silos

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agricultural Products constitute an important part of Argentine Exportation.

For this reason, Works destined to storage and loading of cereals, whether they are faced by companies from the public or the private sector, have had a great development.

COINTEC completed executive projects for eight grain storage silos of 34000 tons of capacity.

In 1985 a regrettable accident occurred when The Grain Elevator Nº 5 of Ingeniero White Port – Bahia Blanca exploded.

The reconstruction was set out with a partial loan of The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (Banco Internacional de Reconstrucción y Fomento (BIRF)), The National Architecture Service (El Servicio Nacional de Arquitectura) and the National Grain Board (Junta Nacional de Granos). A call for bids took place and COINTEC was qualified in consortium with two other Argentinean consulting companies and the Canadian holding of consultants H.A. Simons Ltd., for the Consulting Contract for the Work Direction Assistance.
