Project Name: Tashkent Power Plant Modernization
Product Scope: Cable Trays, Seismic Supports (Seismic Bracing Systems), Metallic Conduits (EMT/Rigid Conduits)
Project Status: Completed | Commissioning Year: 2024
Client/Owner: Uzbekenergo (Uzbekistan National Energy Company)
EPC Contractor/Procurement: China Gezhouba Group (CGG)
Supplier: Burkaf
The Tashkent Power Plant is a critical power supply hub in the capital region of Uzbekistan, serving as a backbone electricity provider for Tashkent city and surrounding areas. The power plant modernization project is a major initiative in Uzbekistan's energy sector, aimed at improving generation efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing grid stability. It is a key component of the country's energy infrastructure upgrade program.
Burkaf partnered with China Gezhouba Group (CGG) to provide cable trays, seismic supports, and metallic conduits for this project, supporting the power plant's improved generation efficiency and operational safety.
High-Temperature Environment in Power Plant: Areas such as turbine halls and boiler rooms experience high ambient temperatures, demanding excellent heat resistance and thermal stability from cable trays.
Seismic Safety Requirements: Uzbekistan is located in a seismically active zone. As critical energy infrastructure, the power plant must meet strict seismic design standards to ensure electrical system integrity and functionality during seismic events.
Complexity of Retrofit Projects: The modernization work must be carried out within existing facilities, with constrained installation spaces, demanding high dimensional accuracy and installation convenience from products, as well as compatibility with existing systems.
Multiple System Integration: Power plants involve various electrical subsystems including generation, transmission, control, and protection, requiring complex yet well-segregated cabling.
Continental Climate: Uzbekistan has a continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, resulting in significant annual temperature variations. Products must adapt to extreme temperature fluctuations.
Burkaf provided a combined solution of cable trays, seismic supports, and metallic conduits for this project, fully meeting the high standards of the Tashkent Power Plant modernization under high-temperature, seismic, and complex operating conditions.
1. Cable Trays: High-Temperature Resistance and High-Capacity Routing
Burkaf cable trays feature hot-dip galvanized finishing, offering excellent high-temperature resistance and corrosion protection, adapting to the power plant's high-temperature environment. The high-capacity design supports orderly arrangement of power and control cables for easy heat dissipation and maintenance.
2. Seismic Supports: Ensuring System Integrity Under Extreme Conditions
Burkaf seismic support systems are designed and tested in strict accordance with international seismic standards. They effectively absorb and dissipate dynamic loads during seismic events, maintaining the structural integrity of the cable tray system and ensuring uninterrupted critical power and control circuits at the power plant.
3. Metallic Conduits: Reliable End-Point and Branch Protection
Metallic conduits are used for branch circuits and end-point protection, providing reliable mechanical protection for cables against physical damage and environmental侵蚀. In retrofit projects, the flexibility of conduits facilitates installation within constrained spaces.
4. Adaptability to Continental Extreme Climate
Burkaf products feature low-temperature and high-temperature resistant material design, adapting to Uzbekistan's continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, maintaining good mechanical performance across extreme temperature ranges.
5. Seamless Integration for Retrofit Projects
Burkaf products maintain design and specification compatibility with existing systems, ensuring that the retrofit's cable trays, supports, and conduits integrate smoothly with existing facilities, reducing on-site adjustment work.
6. Meeting China Gezhouba Group's Strict Standards
Burkaf products successfully passed technical reviews and quality inspections by China Gezhouba Group, with complete product documentation, test reports, and quality traceability documents provided, demonstrating the capability to serve a major Chinese energy engineering EPC contractor.
7. Reliable Delivery and On-Site Coordination
The project was successfully completed in 2024, with Burkaf achieving batch-by-batch on-time delivery and consistent product quality, supporting the on-site construction schedule with no project delays caused by material issues.
The Tashkent Power Plant modernization project was successfully completed and put into operation in 2024, with significantly improved generation efficiency and operational safety.
