Babcock & Wilcox Construction Co. (BWCC), a subsidiary of The Babcock & Wilcox Company has been awarded a contract worth more than $75 million to provide construction services for the installation of environmental equipment at Northern Indiana Public Service Company’s R.M. Schahfer Generating Station in Wheatfield, Indiana.
BWCC will erect and install two B&W-designed wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) absorber vessels, and associated reagent slurry preparation and dewatering equipment for the plant’s 465 megawatt Unit 14 and 515 MW Unit 15 coal-fired utility boilers. BWCC also will procure and erect the absorber and dewatering island structural steel for the wet FGD systems.
B&W previously announced it would design and supply the wet FGD units and related components for the project.
“B&W’s environmental project capabilities – from equipment design and manufacturing, to project management and construction services – position us to provide our utility customers with solutions to meet all of their emissions control upgrade needs,” said BWCC President Pete Waanders.
Start-up of Schahfer Unit 14 is scheduled for fall 2013 and Unit 15 for fall 2015.
