Endem has won the contracts for chimneys and other specialized construction work in the Al Khalij Steam Power Plant Project in Sirte, Libya!

Endem Construction Industry and Trade Inc. has signed a contract with Gama Industry, inclusive of the engineering design, material procurement and building of 2, free-standing, reinforced concrete, double flue, stack type, 150m high chimneys for the Al Khalij Steam Power Plant Project in Sirte, an important city of Libya. As a Bechtel approved company, Endem Construction has signed an additional and separate contract to carry out the construction of 4 STG (Steam Turbine Generator) pedestals, turbine foundations as well as other specialized works within the scope of this project. The site of the 4 x 350MW power plant which is owned by the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL), is situated 20km west of Sirte and the aim is to partially meet the rising demand for power and water in Libya. The added desalination unit will increase the total capacity of water to 40,000cu.m./d. It is planned to complete the chimney construction by July 2011, however the power plant itself will be operational as of January 2014 after Final Acceptance has been issued by GECOL. Tamer Tunca, Member of the Board of Endem Group and General Manager of Endem Construction, said: We are very proud to be provided the opportunity to make a contribution to energy development in Libya through this contract. The two chimneys rising 150m in the sky above Sirte will be Endem Construction’s signature in Libya as we honor the 51st year of our company in the construction industry.
