EnBW, a leading energy company, has selected Mammoet for the construction of a new combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant in Altbach/Deizisau.

The project aims to transition the plant’s electricity and heat production from coal to gas by 2026. This shift is a crucial step towards reducing carbon emissions and securing a sustainable energy future for Germany.

Mammoet’s expertise in power plant construction, coupled with its tailored engineering solutions, played a key role in securing the contract. The company’s involvement in the dismantling of Block 1 of the EnBW Neckarwestheim nuclear power plant demonstrated its capabilities in complex projects.

Mammoet will provide comprehensive services, including just-in-time delivery, handling, unloading, interim storage, and the installation of key components such as HRSG modules, generators, turbines, and transformers.

“A completely new concept has been developed in close cooperation with the client and our project team. This means a secure energy supply, fewer interfaces and smooth processes on the construction site,” Andreas Franzke, Sales Manager & Segment Lead Power at Mammoet in Germany, said.

To avoid congestion at the fuel loading point, Mammoet, who will work on behalf of the Sener Bonatti joint venture, recommended the construction of a separate temporary jetty. This strategic decision allowed for the smooth unloading of project materials without disrupting the plant’s operations.

The company deployed a powerful 1,350-tonne crawler crane to handle all heavy lifting tasks, including unloading and installation of equipment. Additionally, Mammoet utilized specialized equipment such as SPMTs (Self-Propelled Modular Transporters) and a customized gantry system to optimize the transportation and positioning of components.

“We are very pleased to be involved in this important construction project, which is part of the energy transition in Baden-Württemberg. It is a significant step into the future of using green hydrogen in facilities in Germany and beyond,” says Franzke.
