| Fluor wins contract by Dominion Virginia Power US engineering giant Fluor Corp announced that it was awarded a contract for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for Dominion Virginia Power's (NYSE: D) new 580 megawatt gas-fired, combined-cycle Bear Garden Power Station west of Richmond in Buckingham County, Va. Fluor will book the undisclosed contract value in the first quarter of 2009. Dominion Virginia Power said its total project investment would be $619 million, which includes costs for certain major equipment that are not part of Fluor's booked value. The new two-by-one combined cycle combustion turbine power facility will run primarily on natural gas with ultra low-sulfur diesel fuel as a backup. Fluor's EPC scope will include the engineering, procurement and construction for the new facility, with Dominion Virginia Power providing the fuel, water, backfeed power and some of the major equipment. Final regulatory permits have been approved and construction activities have begun. Commercial operation is expected in late summer of 2011. The new power station will be built on a site across the James River near Dominion's current Bremo Power Station. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
