Nacap GmbH has been awarded a new contract

The project will comprise the construction of water pipelines of 1150 m DN1000 (40"), 716 m DN900 (36") and 442 m DN700 (28"). In December 2008, Nacap started preparing the project. The project is scheduled to be completed in November 2009. RWE Power is Germany's biggest power producer and a leading player in the extraction of energy raw materials. The Niederaussem location has a major role to play in the power plant portfolio operated by RWE Power. It is not only the location with the highest output by far in the Rhenish lignite mining area, but also the biggest of all RWE's operations. The power plant's capacity of 3,900 megawatt (MW) is distributed across nine units, the largest and most modern being the lignite-fired power station with optimized plant engineering (BoA). With its efficiency of more then 43.2 %, it has chalked up a new all-time high for power generation from lignite.
