Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Led by the Power Industry, Rhode Island is home this year to expected construction starts for 15 projects valued at $315 million, according to Industrial Info's database. The oil & gas production and food & beverage industries also have substantial kickoffs set for this year in the nation's smallest state.
The Power Industry has six projects valued at $151 million that are set for construction kickoff this year. The largest one is Emera Incorporated's (Halifax, Nova Scotia) $80 million, 265-megawatt (MW) plant upgrade in Tiverton. Now in a planning stage, the upgrade is expected to be completed in November.
Next comes the Oil & Gas Production industry, with one natural gas liquefaction unit addition valued at $100 million in Providence. This unit, currently in the planning stages, is owned by National Grid PLC (NYSE:NGG) (London, England). The project consists of building an additional liquefied natural gas (LNG) unit at the Peak Shaver Plant to process 20 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of natural gas and produce 100,000 gallons per day of LNG. It has a completion date of October, 2018.
In third place is the Food & Beverage Industry, with four projects valued at $51 million. The largest is a $25 million grassroot hydroponic greenhouse for leafy greens in West Kingston. Owned by Atlantic Produce Incorporated (Kennewick, Washington), the project is currently in the planning stages and involves construction of a 16-acre climate controlled greenhouse. The greenhouse will use newly installed, state-of-the-art production equipment to grow and process organic hydroponic leafy greens for the purpose of increasing supply in the region. The project has a completion date slated for February of next year.
The state's single oil & gas pipelines project set for kickoff this year is the $8 million transmission pipeline loop, part of the Atlantic Bridge Pipeline project. Owned by Spectra Energy Corporation (NYSE:SE) (Houston, Texas), the project consists of installing 2.2 miles of 12-inch diameter transmission pipeline loop for the purpose of transporting 222 MMSCFD of natural gas from Windham County, Connecticut to a compressor station in Chaplin County, Connecticut. The project's plant is a natural gas metering station based in Warren, Rhode Island. The project, currently in the planning stages, is expected to be complete in November 2017.
Kickoffs for two pharmaceutical and biotech projects valued at $5 million are set for 2016. The largest is the $2.5 million maintenance shutdown of the Coventry Active Pharmaceuticals Ingredients Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) in the city of Coventry. The project is in the construction phase. The facility is owned by Purdue Pharma LP (Yonkers, New York). The shutdown is expected to be completed in September.
