| Amec wins solar energy project in Colorado Amec, a UK-based global engineering and project management firm, announces that it has been awarded a $7.3 million project to design and build a 1-megawatt (MW) solar power plant at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado. Under the contract with the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, Amec will design the solar photovoltaic (PV) system to meet all Buckley AFB environmental and technical specifications while maximizing power production and system life and minimizing cost. Amec has set a 368-day timeframe for completion of the project, substantially shorter than the 449 days required by the Air Force. The project will involve the installation of more than 5,000 new 220/230-watt PV modules manufactured by SolarWorld, at that company's site in Camarillo, Calif. The modules are specifically manufactured for anti-reflectivity and approved for installation in a flight zone. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
