The arrival of a major shipment to Mighty River Power's Ngatamariki geothermal development over the last week marked a significant milestone in the construction of the Company's 82MW plant.
The shipment of the towers for the air cooling system, from international geothermal technology supplier Ormat, weighed more than 2,000 tonnes and arrived in New Zealand at the Port of Tauranga.
Approximately 90 truckloads of equipment were delivered on site over the last week. The cooling system is made up of four structures that, at approximately 15 meters high and 300 meters in combined length, represent a significant physical aspect to the plant.
