 YIT to deliver piping to the new Severn Power power plant in the UK             

YIT and Siemens AG have agreed on a delivery of piping for the Severn Power      combined cycle gas turbine power plant at Uskmouth in South Wales, UK. The       delivery is valued more than 30 million Euros and comprises design, materials,   prefabrication and installation.                                                

YIT will provide 1,000 tonnes of piping for the project, including main steam    and low-pressure piping. Among the ordinary power plant steel pipes, the         delivery includes fibreglass and high density polyethylene piping. The design of the piping will commence immediately and the delivery is slated for completion   towards middle of 2010.                                                         

In recent years, Siemens has ordered similar major deliveries from YIT for       projects in countries such as UK, Ireland, Latvia, Sweden and Norway. All these  commissions have been end-to-end deliveries, including materials, design,        prefabrication and installation. Finnish YIT technicians and welders have        participated in the most demanding installation works.                          

The owner of this power plant will be Welsh Power Ltd with whom Siemens AG has a turnkey contract. Upon its completion in summer 2010, the new power plant will   generate 850 MW of electricity with two single saft units, both consisting of    one gas turbine and one steam turbine.
