The new addition to Jaworzno III Power Plant, Poland, will boast a 910 MW production capacity. Builiding the powerhouse is always one of the most demanding aspects of any power plant. The electrical and mechanical systems centre is seven storeys tall, with a quasi-rectangular floor plan measuring 13.3 m x 81.75 m, and a height that varies from 30 m to 46 m. BMK Climbing Brackets were used in combination with ORMA Panel Formwork to build the walls.

ENKOFLEX and MK Tables were used as formwork for the slabs and beams. The MK Table system features MK Walers that allow ALUPROP props to be folded and locked, thus making transport between levels much simpler and more efficient. T-60 Towers were used for the slabs at heights reaching up to 9.5 m.

ULMA provided comprehensive safety solutions for this project.  The wall formwork was provisioned with safety platforms on both sides, and in two formats: standard systems with metal platforms pre-mounted on brackets, and the new safety platform for wall construction, SBU. This system allows working platforms to be fitted with certified BRIO Scaffolding components. Being modular, it can adapt to a wide range of spaces for formwork installation, while guaranteeing a completely safe work environment complete with safes accesses.
