Washington Group awarded project for Constellation Energy

Washington Group International has been selected to provide engineering, procurement, and construction services for a major clean-air project at Constellation Energy's Brandon Shores Power Plant in Baltimore, Md. The three-year project will substantially reduce plant emissions allowing Constellation Energy to meet new Maryland clean-air requirements that take effect in 2010.

Washington Group's full scope will be to provide engineering, procurement, and construction services for the installation of several air-quality-control systems at the coal-fired, two-unit, 1300-megawatt plant. As part of the project, a mile-long conveyor system will be built to transport limestone needed in the desulfurization process from a barge terminal on the Patapsco River to the power plant. Also, the project will employ an innovative design for reusing grey water from the adjacent Cox Creek wastewater treatment facility.
