Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that Brunswick County Power
Station in Virginia was named Project of the Year by Power Engineering
magazine during yesterday’s keynote address at the Power-Gen
International conference and exhibition in Orlando. Fluor designed and
built the 1,358-megawatt natural gas combined-cycle facility for
Dominion Virginia Power.
The Power Engineering awards program recognized eight projects as
finalists across the four categories of Natural Gas, Renewables, Coal,
and Combined Heat and Power. Projects were evaluated based on
technological innovation, local impact, logistical challenges,
creativity and capacity. The project was also recognized as the 2016
Natural Gas-Fired Project of the Year.
“We are proud that Brunswick County Power Station has been recognized
with this respected industry award,” said Wolfgang Greinke, vice
president of Fluor’s Power business. “With a history spanning nearly 50
years in the natural gas power industry, we are privileged to bring our
turnkey services to the next generation of new, advanced technology
power facilities. This important project also represents the successful
continuation of Fluor’s relationship with Dominion Virginia Power, a
respected and trusted client.”
The Brunswick County Power Station began commercial operations in April
2016 with Fluor providing engineering, procurement, construction and
commissioning services for the facility. Fluor’s construction staff and
craft peaked at more than 1,500 team members. The construction team
successfully installed more than 38,000 cubic yards of concrete, 142,000
linear feet of pipe and 420 miles of cable. The project was completed
ahead of schedule.
