Recently, the shell of the first offshore maintenance platform shell of for the Penang 275KV Cross-sea transmission Transmission line Line project Project in Penang, Malaysia, undertaken by China Harbour CHEC, was has been successfully installed, laying a solid foundation for the future installation of steel towers.
The Penang Cross-Sea Transmission Line project, developed by the Tenaga Nasional Berhad National Energy Corporation of Malaysia (TNB), spans stretches across the Penang Strait and is adjacent to the First Penang First Bridge, with a total length of 9.6 km. This project is the first large-scale cross-sea power transmission line project in Malaysia with the height of offshore power towers exceeding 100 meters. There are it contains 31 power transmission towers, including 6 one with unique design of betel nuts design. After completion of the project, it will become another landmark landscape building in Penang, whose power transmission performance is will be much higher than that of local submarine cables and under bridge cables in the past, thus. Greatly greatly enhance enhancing the power supply of Penang Island.
The installation of the maintenance platform housing shell is one of the key processes of the whole project, which is crucial to ensure the stability and safety of the entire building structure. Thise first platform shell of this installation weighs 217 tons, is 18.4 metersm long, 9.5 metersm wide and 4.5 metersm high, and has is ofan elliptical shaped structure; and it, which is in the shape oflooks like a betel nut when viewed from above. The Due to the heavy huge weight of the cap shell, coupled with and the frequent weather changes in Penang, the lifting process not only tested the expertise of the engineers and technicians on site, but also demonstrated the resilience and coordination of the construction team under special conditions. It took the project team four hours to complete the installation of the first offshore maintenance platform.
The completion of the installation of the first offshore maintenance platform provides valuable experience for the subsequent installation of the platform housing shells, and also provides a working surface for the subsequent installation of the towers. In the next step, the project Project Management Department will continue to implement the CHEC’s strategic development plan of “four businesses and eight chains” strategic development plan of China Harbor, overcome difficulties, make every effort to ensure the smooth completion of the project, and strive to deliver high-quality projects for local people as soon as possible to help high-quality co-construction of co-build the “Belt and Road” with high quality.
