With an initial budget of almost Euro 725 million (around $820 million), BGR Energy Systems is setting up the Kalisindh Thermal Energy Plant, part of an ambitious plan from the Rajasthan government, who expects to produce up to 1,200 MW (2 x 600) when the plant is operative.

For the construction of the two cooling towers, BGR Energy Systems is using two 21CJ290 tower cranes from Comansa Jie, with maximum load capacity of 18 tonne. Both have jib length of 74 m, the maximum of this model, which allows them to reach the tower?s base diameter, of 142 m. To build the towers up to 202 m, which it is believed that makes them the world?s highest cooling towers (ahead of Niederaussem in Germany), both cranes have been jacked-up with a hydraulic cage in different phases, until they reached 217 m of height. Furthermore, the 21CJ290 required rope anchorages to the shell wall of towers, assuring an optimal performance and the total stability of the cranes.
