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.
