Hochtief is Germany's largest construction company. Based in Essen, it operates globally, ranking as the top general builder in the United States through its Turner Corporation subsidiary, and in Australia through the Leighton Group.
As part of the RWE power station renovation program, the Consult IKS Energy planning department at HOCHTIEF has been awarded the contract for the structural design of two coal-fired power stations. At Eemshaven in the Netherlands, a new coal-fired power station with a gross capacity of 1,600 MW will be erected on a site covering approx. 125 acres. The new facility can be partly fired using biomass and is due to be connected to the grid in 2013. In addition, the power station at Hamm in North Rhine-Westphalia will be upgraded to the most advanced power-station technology with the construction of a dual-block facility.
The CTSpace solution has been used successfully by HOCHTIEF for many years. This approach has also been chosen for the current power station projects because of the in-depth understanding of the process that CTSpace consultants offer. “Many providers of document-management solutions view their task as merely archiving data. The CTSpace team, on the other hand, understands our construction planning process and its special requirements, and is able to implement this in their software,” says Heribert Hansen, Project Manager and Manager Structural Design.
