Prevention of Occupational
Hazards award
The German subsidiary and its consortium partner, Hamon, chosen as
the “best contractors in the month of August 2012”.
ALPINE Bau Deutschland AG, and its con-
sortium partner, Hamon Thermal Germany
GmbH, ranked first place in the “moor.safe-
ty” prevention study conducted by Vatten-
fall Europe Generation AG.
Vattenfall Europe Generation AG launched
the “moor.safety” program in 2011 in order
to ensure safety at the construction pro-
ject for the Moorburg power plant. It is a
safety and occupational hazard prevention
program that defines the regulations and
standard practices to protect the life and
health of all of its workers in this important
construction site.
These measures firstly relate to order and
cleanliness, risk assessments, instructions,
analysis of residual risks, the supervision of
work teams, and the identification of dan-
gerous situations. It also involves inspec-
tions of all contractors and subcontractors
at the work site.
ALPINE’s
award
underscores
the
company’s commitment to occupational
safety and health protection. A few months
before, in June 2012, Norbert Grothe,
ALPINE’s project manager, was chosen
by RWE as the “prevention partner of the
month” at the construction site of the new
D/E groups of the Westphalia power plant.
Every month, RWE Technology rewards
outstanding services in terms of occupatio-
nal safety and the protection of health.
The project
One of the most environmentally-friendly
coal-fuelled power plants is currently
being built in southern Hamburg. Jointly
with its consortium partner, Hamon Ther-
mal Germany GmbH, ALPINE is in charge
of planning and building the new hybrid
cooling tower at the plant. The new Moor-
burg power plant will produce 11 billion
kilowatts/hour of electricity each year, a
volume that will practically meet the city’s
electricity demand.
