The Hendrina Power Station Consolidated Life-ex Report evaluates the technical condition of various plant systems to determine the requirements for extending the station's operational life to 2025. The report identifies critical failures in turbine auxiliaries, pump casings, electrical motors, and ash disposal facilities, while noting that many systems can operate until 2025 provided that maintenance backlogs are addressed and specific component replacements are executed.

The Hendrina Power Station Consolidated Life-ex Report details the technical requirements and cost projections for extending the operational life of the power station's boilers and turbine plant until 2025. It outlines critical maintenance, equipment replacements, and retrofits needed for Units 1-10 to ensure structural integrity, safety, and compliance with environmental legislation.

This report provides a technical assessment of the boiler plant and associated systems at Hendrina Power Station, focusing on life extension (Life-ex) studies for Units 1-10. It details boiler tube leak (BTL) patterns, component replacement histories, and the degradation of pressure parts, specifically highlighting issues with fly-ash erosion, sootblower erosion, and creep exhaustion in main steam piping.

This report provides a detailed technical condition assessment of the Hendrina Power Station, focusing on the life extension (Life-ex) of its generators, auxiliary systems, and common plant infrastructure. It identifies significant degradation in stator winding insulation, the presence of hot spots in stator cores, and severe corrosion and structural spalling across various civil works, including cooling towers and smoke stacks. The document evaluates the feasibility of extending plant operations to 2025, noting that while some areas are in good condition, others pose high risks to safety and operational reliability.

This report details the technical requirements and recommended interventions for the life extension of the Hendrina Power Station to 2035. It focuses on the refurbishment and replacement of critical electrical infrastructure—including transformers, motors, cables, and generators—and identifies necessary maintenance for common plant areas and boiler systems to ensure operational reliability.
