A POWER STATION Decomissioning of A Power Station RWE npower November 2012 - February 2013 The project involved dismantling/removal of a 500MW Generator (approx 250TE); 600MVA Transformer (approx 240TE); 2 x 500MW Rotor Shafts (approx 70TE ea) and 2 x Stator Casings (approx 60TE ea), necessitating on-site dismantling to enable transportation to the Group's Rotherham recycling centre. Dismantling the Generator involved removal of watercooled copper conductors, undertaken manually by releasing bakalite support frames and pulling individual conductors out. Both stator end plates were removed to expose the radial laminations - removed using hydraulic excavator with rotating grab. The frame was then flame cut to size pending loading/transportation. Prior to dismantling the Transformer, resid
