Case Studies
CCGT Power Station 2
The station is a 680MWe power station located in England. It basically comprises two 9F frame sized gas turbines, two Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and a steam turbine.
During and after the erection of the HRSG's a dispute arose between the supplier and its erection contractor.
A senior member of Cadogans staff was appointed as expert witness for the contractor in anticipation of arbitration. Specific areas which were investigated were as follows.
- Welding of casing and pipework
- Transportation of heat exchanger modules
- Pressure testing
- Non-destructive testing and heat treatment
- Construction drawings
- Pipework installation
- Contractual role of the parties (MF/1 contract)
The issues were considered and analysed. Meetings were held with client, solicitor, counsel and other advisors. Evidential reports were prepared. The dispute settled before the hearing took place.
