MACOGA has been awarded a contract to supply 10 Lateral and 10 Hinged DN 3000 and 2 Dog Bone Turbine connection 6100 x 5500 Expansion Joints for a new 1.3 GW natural gas-fired, combined cycle power plant in Warren County, Virginia, USA. The Expansion Joints will be a part of one of the biggest condensers in the world in what is expected to be one of the largest combined cycle power plants ever installed in the Americas. The new station will feature three combustion turbines and a steam turbine, and will be powered solely by natural gas, making it one of the cleanest fossil fuel-fired facilities in the US. The station is expected to generate enough energy to power approximately 325,000 homes.
