Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Black & Veatch (B&V) (Overland Park, Kansas) is performing design work and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services on about $1.6 billion in projects that are set to begin construction in the fourth quarter, and $3.75 billion worth that are set to be completed in the same period, according to Industrial Info's project database. The projects are centered on the Power Generation and Oil & Gas industries, but include some heavyweight plans for the Metals & Minerals Industry.
Black & Veatch plays a role in more than $250 million in power-generation projects set to kick off in the U.S. in the fourth quarter, covering a variety of energy sources. Florida Power & Light Company, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Incorporated (NYSE:NEE) (Juno Beach, Florida), signed Black & Veatch to perform engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work on its $116 million Barefoot Bay Solar Energy Center in Melbourne, Florida. The new facility is expected to use 330,000 photovoltaic panels to generate 74.5 megawatts (MW). For more information, see Industrial Info's project report; for more information on NextEra's renewable projects, see April 24, 2017, article - NextEra Grows Renewable Energy Portfolio.
The U.S. Marine Corps has Black & Veatch providing design work for a $17 million microgrid backup plant at Miramar Air Station Base in San Diego, California. The project involves installing a 4-MW diesel generator set, a 3-MW natural gas generator set, a central controller station and other equipment to generate 7 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
BHP Billiton plc's (NYSE:BHP) (Melbourne, Australia) $2.1 billion seawater desalinization plant at the Escondida copper mine in Chile, which supplies the mine with 2,500 liters per second, has been commissioned, along with a $600 million pipeline that will run 360 kilometers and connect the two facilities; both are set to be completed by the end of the year. The mine has suffered many setbacks in the past year, including the death of a worker, a grade decline and the longest private-sector mining strike in Chile's history. But BHP and Black & Veatch are optimistic about the near-term schedule. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the desalination plant and the pipeline.
Among the projects set to begin construction is one of the most widely anticipated natural gas-fired generation expansions. Black & Veatch is performing engineering work on Duke Energy Corporation's (NYSE:DUK) (Charlotte, North Carolina) $750 million unit addition at the W.S. Lee Power Station in Belton, South Carolina. The new unit, which is expected to be operational in mid-2018, will add 750 MW to the existing natural gas-fired station through the addition of two combustion turbines a condensed steam turbine, all from Siemens AG (Munich, Germany). For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
While Duke's natural gas facility dominates Black & Veatch's U.S. completions in the fourth quarter, three solar-power projects are on the books: Florida Power & Light's $133 million Indian River Solar Energy Center in Vero Beach, Florida, Dominion Energy Incorporated's (NYSE:D) (Richmond, Virginia) $40 million solar facility in Remington, Virginia, and Green Earth Power Company Limited's $75 million solar facility in Minbu, Myanmar. The Florida and Virginia projects will feature 338,000 PV and 90,000 polycrystalline panels, respectively, and generate 74.5 and 20 MW. The Myanmar project is the 50-MW first phase of a project that will feature 70-MW second and 90-MW third phases. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Florida, Virginia and Myanmar projects.
