Technical FAQs 4

How are power station foundations constructed?

The construction of the power station foundations is carried out in accordance with a detailed programme drawn up to provide the various foundations and general site works, in the sequence necessary to enable the building work and plant installation to proceed in accordance with the overall construction programme.

Do substation equipment support structures need a foundation?

For most substation equipment support structures and line support structures, the foundations are required to resist moderate shear forces and overturning moments. For A-frame and lattice-type line support structures, shear, uplift, and compression are typical design loads.

How thick is a power plant foundation?

In the first case (A) of the new power plant foundation, according to design data prepared by the foreign design office, and delivered by the main contractor of the power plant building, the main boiler house foundation represented one large slab which equals 80×50 m in plane and it was from 1.8 m to 2.6 m thick.

What is site work design for a substation yard?

The objective of site work design for a substation yard is to provide an easily accessible, dry, maintenance-free area for the installation and operation of electrical substation equipment and structures. The course also covered the design issues for substation foundations.
