The project's objective
Landsvirkjun constructs a 90 MWe geothermal power plant at Þeistareykir, Iceland. The power plant will improve the electricity supply for the northeastern part of Iceland and provide electricity to PCC Bakki Silicon.
EFLA Consulting Engineers supervised the construction of the powerhouse, cooling tower basins, steam valve house, re-injection house and smaller sheds. EFLA Consulting Engineers also supervised the laying of steam supply systems, pipelines for water supply and the re-injection of separation water.
Environmental issues
While preparing the construction of the geothermal power plant at Þeistareykir, it was the owner's goal to make the least environmental impact when constructing the power plant. For example when new excavation was started, the top soil was used immediately as the top layer for another site, e.g. road shoulder.
