JV Driver self-performed civil, mechanical, structural and electrical work and managed the instrumentation subcontract.
Scope of work
- Turbine and supplementary equipment installation
- Hog-fuel handling and fuel storage
- Civil, structural, mechanical and electrical construction
- Large- and small-bore piping, including P11 and P91 chrome-moly
Delivery experience
Constructability review led to a redesign of the hog-fuel truck dump using precast concrete. The project profile credits that change with removing approximately four weeks from the schedule. This is a specific example of engineering-stage input improving field delivery.
