MEDUPI POWER STATION

Medupi’s Boiler 6 was hydraulically tested in June 2012 and was prepared for its chemical clean during August. The first fire of Boiler 6 is scheduled to take place towards the end of 2012. This is a test fire of the boiler with oil, to be followed by the initial full fire with pulverised coal.

Despite the many potential hazards involved in such mega projects, Murray & Roberts Projects has passed the mark of three million hours worked without any lost time injuries at Medupi and Kusile.
