Europa Prefabri portable offices at the Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant

/in , /by

Last September we have manufactured and assembled 91 portable offices in two floors with 36 stairways for Iberdrola at the Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant.

Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant

Being operational for 33 years, the Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant is the main centre of electrical production in the Region of Valencia. During 2016, the nuclear plant generated 9.540 millions of kWh, which represents close to 3.6% of the national electrical production. This production fulfils the 37% of the annual electrical demand of the Region of Valencia. Likewise, with 1092.02 Mw, Cofrentes is the Spanish nuclear power plant with greatest installed electric power.

Project: portable offices for the Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant

The project consists of temporary transferring the offices of the Nuclear power plant for the scheduled stoppage that will take place in September 2017.

The prefabricated modules serve as support for both the personnel staff of the Iberdrola Nuclear Power Plant and its different suppliers who are going to work at the plant stoppage. Among them, there are companies with high technical level; such as Ge-Power, Tecnaton, Ge-Hitachi, ABB, Siemens, Duro Felguera, Cegelec, Empresarios Agrupados, Areva…

  • Between the portable offices modules, there are two break rooms and the toilets for the different companies.
  • In addition, a portable office module conceived as a bar that is used as catering.
  • We have made all the assemblage with our own means: truck cranes, aerial work platforms and our own workforce.
  • All the prefabricated modules have air conditioning systems type Split 3000 BTU/hr.
  • Likewise, all the modules are provided with complete installation of voice and data.
  • We will also supply furnished offices for the different suppliers and companies that will work at the stop.

This is therefore one more challenge in our trajectory as it is a highly complex work in highly complex ambiance. We appreciate the trust placed in Europa Prefabri.

Why is there a shutdown in Cofrentes nuclear power station?

The Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant makes a biannual shutdown to recharge the fuel and replace part of it in order to guarantee its future operation.

Likewise, fuel-refuelling shutdowns are a good occasion for carrying out multiple maintenance works and equipment reviewing that cannot be inspected when the power station is active; as well as design modifications aimed at the technological optimisation of plant equipment and components.

Each recharge must be studied and planned in detail.  This way, its duration, the number of activities to be carried out, and the hiring of technical staff necessary for the execution of the works can be foreseen.

 

PREFABRICATED MODULAR OFFICES IN MADRID

Here are some pictures of a new modular building with offices. It has been made for FCC company in Madrid. We executed the fabrication and the assembly of this building within two months only. It deals with standard prefabricated modules superimposed, but with a metallic platform in order to gain space.

This is one of the biggest modular constructions projects we realized this year in Spain. Once again, an important client chose us to fabricate and assembly this building.

MODULAR OFFICE IN AIRPORT OF ALGIERA

We show you in this post some pictures of the assembly we are working on in Algeria. It deals with several modular buildings which will be used as offices by the engineers of our client, as part of the expansion work of the Houari Boumediene Airport of Algiers. Those works imply the construction of a new terminal with a surface area of 73 hectares. Thanks to this new terminal, the airport will be able to receive 22 thousands of passengers every year, instead of 12 thousands before the works.

Our client is one of the most important companies in the building and public works sector. As big multinationals, both Spanish and international, this company trusted in the professionalism of EUROPA PREFABRI for the manufacturing and the supplying of temporary installations for this project.

This project is composed by 4 buildings realized thanks to the assembly with two layers of prefabricated modules, with a total surface area of more than 3500m2. Modules have been made in Spain in record time and carried with Flat-Pack system in maritime containers.

We are currently working on new projects in Algeria and we hope that we will sign new contracts in the country in the coming months, because it is one of our exportations destination.

MODULAR BUILDING FOR OFFICES IN LAGOS, NIGERIA

/in , /by

We carried out another successful project of modular building for offices in Lagos, Nigeria. We are proud to announce that this is the biggest project carried out in Nigeria so far. We collaborated with our local distributor STEELWAYS NIGERIA LTD. These offices are currently occupied by the companies in charge of the project EKO ATLANTIC, one of the biggest projects in Africa at the moment.

The advantage of modular construction and transport in flat-pack kits is its fast and easy assembly apart from the transport costs reduction. These buildings are ideal for this type of temporary projects. We are working on further projects in Nigeria, our strategic market for exportation. We hope we will sign new projects shortly and can share the good news with you!

SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY – LA DAYA

/in , /by

EUROPA PREFABRI as an expert in modular construction manufacturing and assembling offers its clients wide range of extra options such as renewable energy system, fire extinguish system, air-conditioning system adapted to the particular project, etc. In this news we would like to present water heating system ACS achieved by two solar sensors placed on the top of the module. This solar-thermal system was applied in La Daya, close to Alicante. This solar-thermal energy system will supply hot water the local changing rooms and bathrooms of the football stadium with hot water.

We completed the assembly of several prefabricated buildings in La Daya, close to Alicante. The assembly was a part of a larger remodeling project of sports facilities.

These prefabricated buildings were set up using the bespoke metal structure and side walls made of insulated panels using special materials and finishing pieces such as concrete base with porcelain flooring, false ceiling Amstrong, hidden electrical installation and sanitary fittings, special carpentry, etc.

We were pleased to see the members of the council hall (including the mayor of La Daya) happy with the facilities who recognised the good job of our team. EUROPA PREFABRI proved once again its leading position in costumised prefabricated building applying metal construction.
