| Fluor to provide services upgrades for PNM San Juan Generating Station Fluor Corp announced that it was awarded an early-phase engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract by PNM to provide environmental services upgrades for four power units at the San Juan Generating Station in New Mexico. Fluor will book the undisclosed first phase value of this project into backlog in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fluor expects to begin the second phase in January 2013 with full notice-to-proceed projected for mid-2013. Fluor will provide full EPC services to design, build, install and commission new selective catalytic reduction (SCR) equipment for each of the San Juan Generating Station's four units totaling 1,848 megawatts of capacity, which will significantly reduce the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. When the environmental upgrades are completed, the equipment utilized will provide one of the highest NOx removal efficiencies in the country and will comply with the Environmental Protection Agency federal plan to address regional haze at San Juan Generating Station. The San Juan Generating Station is located in Waterflow, N.M., and is expected to have more than 500 craft laborers at construction peak in mid-2015. All units are expected to be online by mid-2017. Fluor's Greenville, S.C. office is expected to lead the project. Fluor previously served as EPC contractor for the LUNA (partially-owned by PNM) natural gas, combined cycle facility in Deming, N.M. that was completed in 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
