The Quang Trạch I Power Plant is part of Vietnam’s national strategy to strengthen energy security and meet rising electricity demand. The facility comprises two ultra-supercritical coal-fired units with a combined capacity of 1,400 MW.
Balanced Engineering & Construction (BEC) was awarded the contract to construct the plant’s 230-metre environmental compliance chimney, a critical structure designed to manage emissions from the new generating units. Built on reclaimed coastal land, the chimney required precision engineering and safe high-rise execution under challenging site conditions.
The Quang Trạch 1 chimney was constructed using the slipform method, allowing for a continuous 24-hour pour of concrete to achieve a seamless 230-metre shaft.
Scope of work by BEC included:
The Quang Trạch I chimney was delivered safely, on time, and to specification, demonstrating BEC’s expertise in constructing one of Vietnam’s tallest industrial chimneys under challenging coastal conditions. The continuous 24-hour slipform casting showcased precision engineering, while borosilicate-lined flues provided long-term durability and emissions compliance.
By integrating civil, mechanical, and electrical systems, including steel platforms, coatings, lighting, and hoist provisions, BEC handed over a fully operational structure that strengthens the reliability of Quang Trạch 1 and supports Vietnam’s goal of securing stable energy generation.
