With the return to service of Callide C Power Station's Unit 3 in April and Unit 4 in August this year, we asked Callide Power Station's GM Mick Hill to give us an overview of the work that has been completed to support the safe return to service of Callide C. A complex and challenging project, it is the first time in Queensland that a major generating unit and its cooling tower have been completely rebuilt and integrated with existing infrastructure.
An amazing and successful contract of rebuilding completely 36 Cooling tower cells in a record time. Congratulations to IWC and its dedicated team. Probably one of the largest contract of this type performed in a record time.
That was an awesome message about the work and the thank you. I hope CS Energy releases a lot of information for students in the industry to learn from. Hoping to see CS Energy as leaders in the field of rebuilding powerstations.
A full rebuild and integration on this scale is a huge feat, congratulations,

Preservation of the units Mick Hill mentions is done by maintaining below 30%rh by recirculating air from Desiccant dehumidifiers. This prevents corrosion during the outage, as well as other measures.
