Gas and coal-fired power stations and cooling towers.

Any gas and coal-fired power station will age and undergo changes over its life span. Drawing on its experience in civil and remedial engineering, Freyssinet offers protective, strengthening or retrofitting solutions to extend the lifetime of these industrial structures.

Frequently identified problems are steel corrosion, concrete cracking, spalling and delamination, chemical attack, excessive loading and fire or explosion.

Working either as a main contractor or a specialist subcontractor, Freyssinet’s experienced teams work around gas and coal-fired power stations to accommodate production requirements.

Typical interventions include shutdown operation for scheduled maintenance, or staged works on a running facility.

Our team can provide services to the refractory and chimney industry. We have performed various projects for power stations, such as replacement of bricks, brick joints and shotcreting.
