TOWANTIC ENERGY

Ground-up construction of an 805 MW power generation facility equipped with two General Electric 7HA.01 combustion turbine generators, two heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and one steam turbine generator. The initial scope involved extensive temporary underground power distribution centers used to construct the facility, an extensive grounding grid system, and the duct banks for power distribution, instrumentation, and communications systems. The above groundwork involved miles of cable tray, feeders, instrumentation wiring, communications to the ACHX cooling system, and the ACC cooling tower system. We installed feeders and instrumentation to and from the two Heat Recovery Steam Generators and assisted with the plant's startup and commissioning.

SPECIFIC CHALLENGES: The above-ground scope was awarded well later than anticipated, but with skilled planning, aggressive manpower loading, and working two 12-hour shifts, the project was back on schedule. The project was completed safely, ahead of schedule, and within budget.
