Working effectively across teams is a skill often overlooked, particularly at the outset of a complex project. The same power plant could be built by the same developer and contractors working off the same blueprint in two similar locations. Yet, two different teams can return two very different results.
Echo Park Lake had become a collection point for pollution and was impaired by algae and other contaminants. Proposition O in the City of Los Angeles provided the funding for a major rehabilitation and Black & Veatch was selected by the city to conduct the design of the rehabilitation project.
The population of the Tampa Bay area of Florida is one of the fastest growing in the United States. Tampa Electric is expanding the Polk Power Station station by converting four existing simple cycle combustion turbine units into a modern and more efficient 4-on-1 combined cycle unit. The added electricity is enough to power more than 100,000 homes and businesses.
Harvesting of agricultural biomass for electricity production can be done in a way that protects the environment, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and creates sustained socio-economic benefits. These fundamentals were behind the Lamphun Biomass Cogeneration Plant, located at the Saha Group Industrial Park, Lamphun, Lamphun Province, Thailand.
The Bhilai Thermal Power Plant is a 2x250 megawatt coal-fired plant that uses local coal sponsored by NSPCL, a joint venture between SAIL and NTPC. It is located on the Bhilai Steel Plant site and supplies power for the expansion of the steel plant, with excess power sold to the local grid through NTPC.
Sasan Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) is a 3,960 megawatt pit-head, coal-based power plant in Madhya Pradesh. The project is the first domestic coal-based UMPP awarded by the government of India. The project is also one of nine UMPPs proposed to bring 100 gigawatts of new power generation on line to meet demand in India.
The Adani Group has been the largest contributor of power generation in India’s private sector since the beginning of the country’s Eleventh Five-Year Plan. The company’s 5x660 megawatt coal-fired power plant in Tiroda is the first supercritical technology-based facility in Maharashtra, which will help meet India’s electricity demand.
Black & Veatch led an on-site charrette for programming the support facilities for a Polish EIS. Joint inspection of the existing site facilities with both Europe District personnel and Missile Defense Agency representatives preceded the creation of a list of facilities to be used during construction and/or for long-term occupation. Other participants in the charrette included Polish Army representatives as well as representatives from Installation Management Command (IMCOM) headquarters and IMCOM Europe.
Black & Veatch is a leader in the planning and design of “Smart Cities-Smart Base” elements for Federal and DoD installations and was tasked with providing Photovoltaic Systems Engineering Services for the U.S. Embassy in Valletta, Malta, and the U.S. Embassy in Djibouti, Djibouti; and Photovoltaic and Wind Resources Data Collection for the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
Black & Veatch has performed numerous Facility/Asset Management planning efforts at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas including multiple Facility Utilization Studies (FUS) for the installation and tenant organizations including the Combined Arms Center (CAC) and Command and General Staff College (CGSC). These surveys provide the raw data required to update the existing Real Property Inventory, validate the stationing data for the installation, and provided a basis for the ongoing management of space allocation.
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) competitively awarded Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp. (Black & Veatch) one of its Biological Threat Reduction Integrating Contracts (BTRIC) in 2008. The 5-year IDIQ contract (with a 5-year option) has a collective ceiling of $4B among the five selected contractors. DTRA also competitively awarded Black & Veatch (Integrating Contractor) the first task order under BTRIC, BTRIC TO1 in Ukraine in 2008.
Black & Veatch has developed the full design documents for the U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) headquarters facilities. Black & Veatch is currently assisting in the bidding process and will continue to support the project during construction.
This unique facility, linking the new headquarters to the existing Whitelaw Facility includes:
Black & Veatch served as owner’s engineer to help develop a 29 megawatt wind energy facility near Walsenburg, Colorado, owned by Black Hills Colorado Electric. The project scope included creating a detailed design based on 16 Vestas V100 1.8 MW turbines.
