Institutional & Commercial Construction
Retrofit and upgrade of a 36" emergency coal path to a reliable 54" dual coal path. LCI and design partner KOA were awarded an EPC (Engineer-Procure-Construct) Contract that was over $16 million dollars at Consumers Energy's largest coal fired power plant - the JH Campbell complex. Contract was awarded in October, 2005, pre-outage construction started August 1, 2006, and the outage went from September 29, 2006-May 2007.
LCI procured all mechanical operating equipment, coordinated design drawing evolutions between engineer and owner, and managed all onsite demolition and construction activities. The project entailed upgrading three idler-based conveyors to air supported conveyors. The entire conveyor gallery was removed and replaced with a new structure. LCI also installed crushers, belt feeders, magnetic separator, belt scales, traveling tripper, dust collection and other utilities for the entire Backup Fuel Path.
Accomplishments:
The project had nearly 100,000 man-hours without lost-time incident. Emergency Backup Path converted to reliable fuel path capable of fueling all three units at full production rates.
