Wärtsilä – Salu Power Plant https://betonbouw.com/wartsila-salu-power-plant/ Tue, 22 Oct 2024 19:58:24 +0000 https://betonbouw.com/?p=2031

Technology group Wärtsilä has again been contracted by Aqualectra, Curaҫao’s government owned utilities company, to provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction in support of the country’s decarbonisation programme. This latest order is for a new 38.4 MW power plant that will be capable of providing efficient grid balancing as the level of renewable energy in the system continues to increase. The order was booked by Wärtsilä in Q3 2024.

The new Salu Power Plant is being supplied on a full engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis. Initially, the plant will provide baseload power but will be later utilised in a grid balancing role as part of the utility’s decarbonisation focus. It will operate with four Wärtsilä 20V32 engines and will immediately become one of Aqualectra’s most fuel-efficient power plants.

TUI Blue Curaçao Hotel Santa Martha https://betonbouw.com/tui-blue-curacao-hotel-santa-martha/ Tue, 22 Oct 2024 19:37:06 +0000 https://betonbouw.com/?p=2017

Construction has officially commenced on the TUI Blue Curaçao hotel at the site of the former Coral Cliff Hotel in Groot Sta. Martha. Set to feature 300 rooms, the hotel is scheduled to open in 2026. 

The hotel’s location is notable for its stunning views of Seru di Kristof and its proximity to Santa Martha Bay. The project is being developed on land that previously housed the Coral Clif Hotel, which proponents say minimizes the environmental impact and boosts the local economies of Soto and Bándabou.  This all-inclusive resort will emphasize sustainability, utilizing solar energy and focusing on efficient water management.

Architect Shawn Zimmerman of studio Disena has designed the layout with multiple buildings interspersed with greenery. The hotel will feature local products in its cuisine and host cultural activities.
