The $1.4-billion electromechanical portion of the Kwanza River dam project includes a power plant with an installed capacity of 2,070 MW.

它有六台主要的334兆瓦涡轮机,每台由单个水进水隧道喂食,通过大约2 km的岩石进行了挖掘,还有一个额外的66兆瓦涡轮机旁边是大坝旁边,以利用维护生物多样性所需的水流在大坝和主要强国之间的河中。

The plant doubled Angola’s clean energy production capacity and now accounts for 47% of power consumed on the country’s national grid. It has eliminated the need for daily power rotations in Luanda, the Angolan capital.

“The project brought stability to power supply and drastically reduced blackouts, substantially reduced the consumption of fossil fuels, supported the country’s economic development and improved the quality of life of more than 8 million people,” says Matheus Gontijo, Odebrecht Engenharia & Construção contract manager.

为了对公司的不寻常举措,主要的强国是由金属而不是混凝土制成的。钢板的使用主要消除了对常规混凝土形式以及传统的支撑系统的需求。机组人员通过预组装涡轮井外的270吨螺旋箱来节省了每个发电机,从而节省了90天,从而使通常按顺序进行的工作同时执行。

超过10,000人为该项目做出了贡献,其中包括2300名当地工人。该项目团队位于建筑工地,但一个国际团队从事该工厂的工作。工程是在南美和欧洲完成的。设备是在奥地利,德国,巴西,意大利,中国,印度和葡萄牙生产的。涉及公司的代表每月前往工作场所进行协调会议。

该项目还包括建造一个为期9个月计划的培训中心,以准备技术人员在工厂工作。
