On July 24th, 2018, a monumental achievement for Egypt’s energy future came to fruition with the final launch of the 4800 MW Burullus Combined Cycle Power Plant. This mega-project, part of a nationwide initiative to bolster Egypt’s power generation by over 40%, plays a pivotal role in ensuring a stable and reliable electricity supply for millions.
Located in Kafr El Sheikh along the Mediterranean Sea, Burullus stands as one of the world’s largest gas-fired combined cycle power plants, utilizing advanced Siemens H-class gas turbine technology for highly efficient operations. Its rapid completion in a record 27.5 months set a new global benchmark for fast-track power projects.
ECPC’s Vital Contribution to Burullus Power Plant
At ECPC, we’re immensely proud of our critical involvement in this national triumph. We played a vital role in building the plant’s essential cooling infrastructure.
Our scope of work included the supply of:
- Approximately 980 meters of Reinforced Concrete Cylinder Pipes (RCCP)
- 107 special fittings
- Large-diameter pipes of 3,000mm and 2,500mm (totaling 133 pipes)
These high-quality RCCP pipes and fittings were crucial for the plant’s cooling processes, enabling it to efficiently draw 6.6 m³/sec of seawater from the Mediterranean and return 5.5 m³/sec back to the sea. This robust system is fundamental to the plant’s continuous, high-capacity operation. The Burullus Power Plant, along with its sister plants, continues to power Egypt’s growth and development, and we’re honored to have been a foundational part of its success.

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
Thank you for your positive comment.
