!KHI CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER (CSP) TOWER

We served as the professional structural review engineer and provided construction monitoring services for the 200 m !Khi Solar One Tower near Upington.

The structural component comprised 3 750 m³ of concrete foundations; 28 m tall vertical walls; concrete stiffening ring and 200 m tall circular shaft; 200 m tall stairwell; three 30 x 25 x 40 m external steel receptor structures and adjoining walkway platforms; and structural-steel support framework.

The design review included a finite element analysis of the structure in its complete state while considering the structural behaviour during construction.
