DPSI Barh Super Thermal Power Project

About this Project

GISF Engineering Pvt. Ltd. successfully executed a critical power sector fabrication assignment for the Barh Super Thermal Power Station, Bihar. This project further strengthened GISF’s reputation as a reliable fabrication partner for large-scale thermal power plants, especially in technically demanding retrofit environments.

Certified by National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) for fabrication of boiler structure components such as Columns, Auto Weld Beams, and Bracings, GISF is well-positioned to deliver high-quality fabrication solutions for complex power plant structures. The Barh project stands out as a significant milestone due to its retrofit nature, requiring precision engineering, careful planning, and strict adherence to safety and quality norms.

Client

Doosan Power Structures India Limited (DPSI)

Doosan Power Structures India Limited, an established name in power plant engineering and equipment supply, awarded GISF Engineering the contract for manufacturing and supply of boiler duct support structures for the Barh Super Thermal Power Station. The project reflects DPSI’s confidence in GISF’s technical expertise, fabrication quality, and ability to execute challenging retrofit works.

Project Location

Barh Super Thermal Power Station
Barh, Bihar, India

The Barh Super Thermal Power Station is a major power generation facility designed to meet the growing electricity demands of Bihar and neighboring regions. The project contributes significantly to improving power availability and grid reliability.

Scope of Work

GISF Engineering’s scope of work for the DPSI Barh project included:

Manufacturing and supply of boiler duct support structures
Fabrication of heavy steel structural components
Execution as per NTPC-approved drawings and specifications
Precision fabrication suitable for retrofit installation
Quality inspection, dimensional checks, and surface preparation

GISF successfully supplied over 3000+ metric tonnes of structural steel components for this project. The retrofit nature of the assignment required detailed engineering coordination to ensure compatibility with existing plant structures while maintaining operational safety and performance.

Project Scale & Uniqueness

Power Capacity: 3 × 660 MW
Structural Steel Supplied: 3000+ MT
Project Type: Retrofit boiler duct support structure

This project was the first retrofit project undertaken by GISF Engineering, making it a unique and strategically important assignment. Retrofit projects demand higher precision than greenfield projects, as fabricated components must align perfectly with existing structures without affecting ongoing plant operations.

Engineering Excellence & Quality Assurance

All fabrication activities were carried out at GISF Engineering’s advanced manufacturing facility using CNC-controlled machinery, qualified welding procedures, and strict quality control systems. Stage-wise inspections, dimensional accuracy checks, and non-destructive testing (NDT) ensured compliance with NTPC and DPSI standards.

GISF’s engineering and production teams worked closely to address the technical challenges posed by the retrofit scope, ensuring timely delivery without compromising quality or safety.

Key Highlights

NTPC-certified fabrication for power plant structures
Over 3000 MT of structural steel supplied
GISF’s first successful retrofit power project
High-precision fabrication for boiler duct support systems
Strengthened GISF’s capabilities in complex thermal power projects

Conclusion

The DPSI Barh Super Thermal Power Project marks a significant achievement in GISF Engineering Pvt. Ltd.’s power sector journey. By successfully executing its first retrofit project and delivering high-quality boiler duct support structures, GISF demonstrated its engineering adaptability, fabrication excellence, and commitment to quality. The project reinforces GISF’s position as a trusted partner for advanced power infrastructure projects across India.
