Engineering Capabilities
Ansaldo Energia can perform Power Plant engineering for turn key project involving process, mechanical, civil, electrical and I&C disciplines. We assist the Client in defining the characteristics of a new Power Plant with a few preliminary data and, thanks to our expertise in hundred of plants in operation, study the optimized solution both from technical and economical point of view. The engineering problems can be solved working closely with the Client: each project is unique such while the goals of every Client are different.
