Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Engineering News-Record recently put Burns & McDonnell Incorporated (Kansas City, Missouri) in the No. 1 spot on its list of Top 500 Design Firms in the Power Industry, a status that is reflected in the long list of projects featuring the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company, particularly in the prosperous natural gas market. Industrial Info is tracking more than $14.5 billion in active projects involving Burns & McDonnell, almost all of which are in the U.S. Power Industry.
Burns & McDonnell's highest-valued project under construction is Competitive Power Ventures Incorporated's (Braintree, Massachusetts) $900 million Valley Energy Center in Middletown, New York. The natural gas-fired, combined-cycle (NGCC) plant will use two combustion turbines, each with a capacity of 209 megawatts (MW), and a 214-MW steam turbine from Siemens to generate 650 MW. The years-long project is expected to wrap up early next year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Another NGCC project has been proposed by Champion Processing Incorporated (Wexford, Pennsylvania): the $1.16 billion Beech Hollow Power Station in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. As currently envisioned, the facility would use a pair of 296-MW combustion turbines and a 462-MW steam turbine, also from Siemens, to generate 1,054 MW. Burns & McDonnell was brought on late last year to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for the project, which remains in the planning phase and would not begin construction until late next year at the very earliest. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Simple-cycle projects also have a place in Burns & McDonnell's portfolio, with NRG Energy Incorporated's (NYSE:NRG) (Princeton, New Jersey) $600 million Carlsbad Energy Center in Carlsbad, California, under construction and set to be completed in late 2019. The facility is expected to generate 600 MW from six General Electric (NYSE:GE) combustion turbines, each with a capacity of 100 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
OGE Energy Corporation (NYSE:OGE) (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) signed Burns & McDonnell for engineering services for its $630 million peaking unit addition at Mustang Power Station in Oklahoma City. OGE is installing seven combustion turbines from Siemens, for a total output of 427 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Burns & McDonnell also is playing a role in the push for cleaner coal: Minnkota Power Cooperative (Grand Forks, North Dakota) is proposing a $1.1 billion retrofit on Unit 2 at the Milton R. Young Power Station in Center, North Dakota, which would install a wet- or dry-flue gas desulfurization or other technology to a cyclone-fired wet-bottom boiler from Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises Incorporated (NYSE:BW) (Charlotte, North Carolina) to capture carbon dioxide emissions. Burns & McDonnell is providing estimating services for the early planning phases. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Up in Canada, Burns & McDonnell won a contract to provide EPC services for SaskPower's (Regina, Saskatchewan) $400 million Chinook Power Station in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. The 352-MW NGCC facility, which began site preparation earlier this year, is expected to include a 242-MW gas turbine and a 110-MW steam turbine, both from Siemens. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
"With an evolving combination of generation resources, new facilities are being constructed and transmission authorities are focusing on grid resiliency and reliability," said John Olander, an official at Burns & McDonnell, in a recent press release. "The entire power industry is going through a real transformation."
