One of the largest energy infrastructure projects in Belgium is being implemented in Awirs, Flémalle. Engie/Electrabel is building an 875 MW power plant.
With an output of 875 MW, it will be able to supply more than 1,000,000 households with electricity. This new gas and steam power plant will represent an essential link in ensuring the country's security of supply in the future.
Essential for this project are the Siemens SGT5-9000HL gas turbine, the SST5-5000 steam turbine and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG).
And this is exactly where the #SGSteam's know-how comes into play.
Previous projects that were successfully completed together led to Siemens Energy recommending that Engie implement this project with SGS Industrial Services. We are pleased to have convinced you with our performance and to now be able to implement another project in the area of gas and steam power plants.
Projektupdate December 2024
The #SGSteam has been on site in Flémalle, Belgium, since March 2024 - currently with a team strength of around 100 people.
A special feature for the SGS Industrial Services team in this project: the second gas turbine of the SGT5-9000HL class (H² ready) to be assembled by us.
A milestone that was reached in July 2024: the condenser, with a total weight of approx. 400 tons, was completely pre-assembled and installed as a whole. Successful, millimeter-accurate precision work by our #SGSteam.
The next milestone in this project is “GT ready for the first firing”.

The plant, which was formerly used as a coal-fired power plant, is becoming the site of the energy transition. The new combined cycle power plant is expected to create supply stability for 700,000 households by the end of 2025.
Our challenges during the approximately 14-month construction period are a large number of heavy-duty lifts, tight delivery schedules due to numerous jobs and trades taking place at the same time in a small space. - Scope of delivery & service
