Uneek has had a long history with Hazelwood Power Station, manufacturing countless parts for the station over the last 10 years. So when it came to the 2009 refurbishment of Hazelwood's Unit 2 Furnace, International Power, Hazelwood's parent company, came to us to bend the hundreds of boiler tubes that make up the side and front water wall tubes as well as the furnace arch.

In all there were over 4000 bends in over 500 individual parts. These parts were not all identical either, there are over 130 unique three-dimensional shapes, each of which was checked and calculated by our engineering staff before being sent to our factory for manufacture. During manufacture each and every one of the bends was checked for ovality and wall thinning by our technical staff and the sets were assembled to double check they had been produced as accurately as possible. Delivery of the tubes began in late June 2009 and the entire project is expected to be completed in a matter of weeks.
