Enabling the safe demolition of a thermal-fired power station

Senoko Energy was undertaking the demolition of two 250MW fossil-fuelled power plant facilities commissioned in 1983. The removal of aged infrastructure presented several technical, safety and environmental complexities, including handling hazardous material like asbestos, the requirement of structural assessment, and compliance with regulatory and permitting requirements. To minimise disruption to ongoing operations within the premises and its neighbouring area, GHD carried out comprehensive planning and coordination throughout the demolition process. 

We conducted an extensive assessment on demolition activities focussing on the nine zones, technical specifications, parameters, terminal points, and provisions for the demolition. Along with identifying risks via a demolition hazard study (HAZDEM), we advised on waste management plan focusing on recycling and reusing materials to minimise environmental impact. Additionally, we proposed an evaluation framework to enable a structured and transparent bidding process. 

Our commitment to a safe, efficient and legally compliant solution is reflected in every aspect of this project. The well-defined tender specifications enabled Senoko Energy to select a suitable contractor in alignment with its objectives and standards. The risk assessment study was crucial in early integration of safety and environmental controls into tender requirements, so that contractors could plan for these risks from the outset.
