Pennsylvania Chemicals is a world-scale facility that will use ethane to produce 1.6 million tonnes of polyethylene per year. The project will involve up to 6,000 workers during its construction and is expected to employ 600 permanent employees when completed.
The ethylene / polyethylene complex will be located in the Ohio River Valley north of Pittsburgh. It comprises an ethane cracker and three polyethylene units, plus OSBL including a gas-fired combined cycle cogeneration unit and a large storage-in-transit rail yard.
The PSEG Keys Energy Center, owned by PSEG Fossil, a subsidiary of PSEG Power, began construction in 2015 of a new clean, natural gas-fired, power plant in Prince George’s County, Maryland; starting operations in May 2018. The site is located north of North Keys Road approximately 1.25 miles east of Brandywine, Maryland.
Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC (Corpus Christi Liquefaction), a subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, is developing and constructing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal at one of Cheniere’s existing sites that was previously permitted for a regasification terminal. The liquefaction project is being designed for three trains with expected aggregate nominal production capacity of up to 13.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG. Up to seven midscale liquefaction trains adjacent to the CCL Project (“Corpus Christi Stage 3”) are also being developed. The total expected nominal production capacity of the seven midscale trains is approximately 9.5 mtpa of LNG.
NAG-OR Project ethane cracker scope consisted of constructing large scale polyethylene plant lines capable of producing more than 1.3 Million tons of product per year. A total of 78 auger cast piles 24 inches in diameter were installed to depths ranging from 61 to 69 feet long to support expansions to two existing pipe racks.
Implementation of front-end planning, scaffold work packaging, tracking, yard management and field coordination.
Advanced planning of the work, detailed design & estimating efforts resulted in a series of PO’s issued to AT-PAC for the supply of over 7,000 metric tons of Ringlock system scaffold material based on GSS material take-offs to replace inefficient “tube & clamp” material already owned by the project resulting in a +30% reduction in scaffold material +$4,500,000 USD and +35% reduction in scaffold labor +$12,500,000 USD.
PSEG Power Connecticut, a division of PSEG Power, was approved by the ISO-New England Forward Capacity Auction to build a new gas-fired combined-cycle power plant in Bridgeport, CT. The new plant, which represents an investment of more than $550 million, is targeted to be completed and supplying needed energy to the Connecticut region beginning June 2019.
The project will add approximately 485 megawatts (MWs) of highly efficient generating capacity to Connecticut’s southwestern region to ensure electric system reliability. The new station will run primarily on natural gas, but also can run on ultra-low sulfur distillate (ULSD) as a back-up fuel, ensuring exceptional dependability. The new unit will help meet the region’s growing demand for electricity and provide a reliable alternative to older, less-efficient generation in the region.
