| B&W to supply environmental control equipment in West Virginia McDermott International, Inc. announced that its subsidiary, The Babcock & Wilcox Company ("B&W"), has received a contract for engineering, materials, construction, start-up and commissioning of environmental equipment at Allegheny Energy's Fort Martin Power Station near Maidsville, West Virginia. This contract will be included in B&W's second-quarter 2007 bookings. For its share of the plant's total $550 million project, B&W will perform work on Fort Martin's two 550-megawatt supercritical coal-fired boilers -- Unit 1, started up in 1967, and Unit 2, originally supplied by B&W in 1968. B&W will supply wet flue-gas desulfurization ("WFGD") systems, commonly called scrubbers, for each unit including absorber areas and a common reagent preparation and dewatering system. Engineering for the project is underway at B&W's Barberton headquarters. Mechanical completion of the units is slated for early spring of 2009, with start-up scheduled for the early fall of 2009. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
