New Zealand-based infrastructure firm Hawkins and Banguan Cipta Kontractor (BCK) have secured two designing, procurement, and construction contracts for Lumut Balai and Karaha geothermal power stations in Indonesia.
Both the projects are owned by the country’s Pertamina Geothermal Energy.
The Lumut Balai project is to be developed at a remote site 1,300m above sea level in south-west Sumatra.
As well as designing, procurement, and construction of the power plant, Hawkins will be responsible for installation of the Toshiba-manufactured equipment at the facility.
The second contract for the Karaha power plant, which is 1,200m above sea level in West Java, will see Hawkins install the Alstom-supplied power equipment at the facility.
