DATE

November 2015

CLIENT

Upper Egypt Electricity Production Company  (UEEPC)

LOCATION

Assiut-Al Walideya, Egypt

DESCRIPTION

The Assiut Power Plant site is located in Assiut City on the Western bank of the Nile River. The proposed facilities will be constructed on a site area of approximately 78,000 square meters, which is a part of the existing Al Walideya Power Plant.

The major plant equipment is:

-       One indoor condensing steam turbine generating unit, capable of delivering 670 MW at generator terminals when firing natural gas or 625 MW when firing Mazout.

-       One outdoor steam generator (boiler) dual firing (natural gas or Mazout). In addition, Solar No. 2 oil will be used as a start-up/warm-up fuel.

-       Necessary auxiliary equipment includes new fuel storage tanks, intake and discharge structures for plant water needs (cooling water, water treatment, etc.) , water and wastewater treatment, and a 500 kV switchyard facility.

PROGRAM OF WORK

Three boreholes down to a depth of 50.00m

Five boreholes down to a depth of 40.0m

Three boreholes down to a depth of 35.0m

Twenty-eight boreholes down to a depth of 30.0m

Eleven boreholes down to a depth of 25.0m

Seventeen boreholes down to a depth of 20.0m

Four boreholes down to a depth of 15.00m.

Disturbed samples were collected by means of Single Core Barrel and Standard Penetration Split Barrel Samplers. Undisturbed sampling was collected by means of using triple core sampler (Mazier)

Six Piezometers to variable depths and Six Permeability tests

Two Seismic Cross-hole tests to depths 40.0m   

Four electrical resistivity tests

Four thermal resistivity tests
