Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Black & Veatch (B&V) (Overland Park, Kansas) is on track to wrap up a slew of global energy-related projects before the end of 2017. Engineering News-Record recently ranked it No. 1 among U.S.-based engineering companies for global telecommunications project development, and No. 2 for projects in power generation. Industrial Info is tracking $7.28 billion in active projects involving B&V that are set to be completed this year, more than half of which are in the U.S.
Natural gas-fired, combined-cycle (NGCC) projects play a leading role in B&W's power portfolio, with three set to be completed by the end of summer: CME Energy LLC's (Boston, Massachusetts) $860 million Oregon Clean Energy Center in Oregon, Ohio, which will use two combustion turbines and a condensing-heat steam turbine, all from Siemens; and Exelon Corporation's (NYSE:EXC) (Chicago, Illinois) $750 million unit addition at the Wolf Hollow Power Station in Granbury, Texas, and $750 million unit addition at Colorado Bend Energy Center in Wharton, Texas, each of which will use two combustion turbines and a steam turbine from General Electric (NYSE:GE). The Ohio project is expected to generate 800 megawatts (MW), while each of the new Texas units will generate 1,000 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports for the Ohio, Granbury and Wharton facilities.
Also set to wrap up this summer are two projects at long-running coal-fired power plants: Alliant Energy Corporation's (NYSE:LNT) (Madison, Wisconsin) $55 million replacement of pulverizers at Columbia Energy Center in Pardeeville, Wisconsin, and Golden Valley Electric Association Incorporated's (Fairbanks, Alaska) $45 million in retrofits at Healy Power Station in Healy, Alaska. Alliant is replacing 12 combustion engineering coal pulverizers on a pair of tangential-fired dry-bottom boilers to improve efficiency and extend the service lives of two units; Golden Valley expects the retrofits to reduce nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Columbia Energy Center and Healy Power Station projects.
B&V also is performing a series of major additions and upgrades at Koch Industries Incorporated's (Wichita, Kansas) nitrogenous fertilizers plant in Enid, Oklahoma, including a $600 million expansion and revamp of ammonia units and a $400 million addition of a urea unit. Koch hopes to add 1 million tons per year of fertilizer production by increasing capacity at the two existing ammonia units from 1,600 tons to about 1,700 tons per day, and 1,600 tons to about 1,900 tons per day, and by adding the 2,425-ton-per-day urea unit. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the ammonia units and urea unit.
B&V also has a role in renewables development: It is performing engineering services for Dominion Energy Incorporated's (NYSE:D) (Richmond, Virginia) $40 million solar facility in Remington, Virginia, which is expected to generate 20 MW from 90,000 solar panels. About half of the solar panels in the eastern section have been installed, and work has begun on the western side, according to Fauquier Times. The project is set to wrap up in September and begin service in October. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
