Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that its Centinela Solar
Energy project has been named 2015 Best Project Safety Award of Merit
winner by Engineering News-Record (ENR) for the California region.
Fluor performed engineering, procurement and construction services and
is now providing operations and maintenance services for the new,
170-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) facility located on approximately
1,600 acres in Imperial County, California. Fluor completed the project
safely by working more than 700,000 construction hours with no lost-time
accidents and no recordable incidents.
“It is an honor to have Fluor recognized for the safe execution of this
project,” said Chris
Tye, president of Fluor’s Power business line. “We continue to
maintain our safety culture as we perform operations and maintenance for
this facility, helping to meet the regional need for renewable energy.”
Fluor was recognized at ENR’s Best Projects Awards breakfast
banquet in Los Angeles this morning. Award recipients were selected by a
jury of industry professionals.
Fluor’s construction team successfully installed a total of more than
875,000 solar PV panels, 15,000 tons of steel, 40 miles of cable tray
and 425 miles of AC and DC cabling.
The Centinela Solar Energy project is LS Power’s largest solar project
to date. It is one of the first major projects to tie into the newly
constructed Sunrise Power Transmission Line. Centinela Solar Energy has
20-year power purchase agreements with San Diego Gas & Electric for the
entire output from the facility, enough to power more than 60,000 homes.
LS Power is an independent power company that develops, owns, operates
and invests in power generation and electric transmission infrastructure
throughout the United States.
