Overview
Description:
Detailed work breakdown structure required for execution of Coal based
thermal power project of 660 MW capacity (Supercritical). It includes
details of subsystems like Boiler, turbine, generator, Power evacuation
system, Water Intake system, Plant water system, Fuel system, Ash
handling system, fire fighting system, HVAC system, non-plant facilities,
railway network, site enabling works, etc. and all auxiliaries.
WBS Definition:
Awork breakdown structure (WBS), inproject managementandsystems
engineering, is a deliverable oriented decomposition of a project into
smaller components.
A WBS also provides the necessary framework for detailed cost
estimating and control along with providing guidance for schedule
development and control.

Critical Activities
Signing of Contract with Client: Contract signing triggers activities
to freeze initial enablers like L2 schedule, Contract & Engineering
Co-ordination procedures, MDL, etc.
Railway Infrastructure: Railway infrastructure work involves
government and other statutory bodies. Due to this there is large
amount of time required for approvals.
Availability of Construction Power: Statutory approvals required
from power Distribution Company and ROW for power line routing.
Availability of Construction Water: Prime object to start civil
activities.
Approval for Blasting License - For Rock Excavation Works:
Ordering of Major Packages: Boiler, Turbine-Generator, ESP, Coal
Handing Plant, Ash Handing Plant, Chimney, NDCT and
4
Switchyard.

Completion of basic Design & Engineering: The

completion of this activity starts detail engineering and
ordering of equipment and systems. This involves
finalization of basic data as per inputs from the
stakeholders. Finalization of water balance diagrams, heat
balance diagrams, power distribution, layouts, sizing of
system, etc. covered in this activity.
Erection & Commissioning of TG Building EOT crane: TG
building EOT is the first equipment to be erected in TG
building. This is required for erection of other equipment
on TG bay.
Plant Water System Readiness for Hydro Test of Boiler:
Approval from Boiler Inspector and boiler hydro test
witness:
CCOE Approvals for Chlorination system,
Generation System, Fuel Oil Handing System.
