Last August, Aboitiz Construction completed its maintenance and shutdown works for the Unit 2 (105MW) of Sarangani Energy Corporation Coal Power Plant in Maasim, Sarangani Province. The project aimed to ensure the facility’s continued efficiency and improve its current condition in order to supply enough power to cities and municipalities in Southern and South Central Mindanao.
In 2020, JGC Philippines tapped Aboitiz Construction to supply the manpower needed for the aforementioned shutdown of the power plant. The latter was mainly involved in repairing the plant’s boiler, pipeline system, and water treatment area. Major maintenance works were focused on furnace, electrostatic precipitator, and steam turbine generator areas. These tasks target to maintain the efficiency of the power plant operations and strengthen safety.
In 2019, Aboitiz Construction completed the structural, mechanical and piping works of the power plant’s 2nd Unit in Sarangani and was recognized for the achievement of 4.2 million safe man hours without lost time injury during the entire duration of the project.
Committed to advancing business and communities, a total of 1,300 employees (peak) were hired during the power plant construction. Out of this number, 30% were locally hired.
“To sustain our upward momentum, we are expanding our portfolio on power plant construction works and this project is a testament to our commitment of building projects that will enable us to advance business and communities,” said Alex Garciano, Aboitiz Construction’s Vice President for Construction Operations.
Aboitiz Construction, the construction arm of the Aboitiz Group, is a privately held company with a 45-year track record in value construction and engineering that advances businesses and communities by building a better future.
