Market Experience
Kiewit has served the power generation market for more than 30 years. We bring in-depth expertise to deliver power projects using engineer-procure-construct (EPC), design-build, design-assist and traditional bid-build models. We've helped clients meet the challenge of changing power consumption trends and generating strategies by building “run-of-the-river” hydroelectric, nuclear and geothermal power plants, as well as cogeneration, combined-cycle and waste-to-energy generation and resource facilities. Through our subsidiary Kiewit Power Engineers Co., we provide a complete array of design and engineering services for major power plant projects that set industry standards for quality design and superior function worldwide.
Over the last 15 years, Kiewit has constructed and provided start-up services for more than 140 power-related projects totaling more than $6 billion in contract revenue.
Scheduled for completion in December 2012, a Kiewit-led partnership will supply cranes for the erection of GE 1.5-megawatt (MW) wind turbines with a total capacity of 740 MW. Located across six wind farms, two Manitowoc 16000 cranes and one Manitowoc 2250 crane will be used to perform the work.
The Kiewit team was awarded the contract to engineer, procure and construct the 540-megawatt combined cycle power plant. The team turned in an exceptional safety record, working nearly one million hours without a recordable accident.
Kiewit was awarded this design-build contract to engineer, procure, construct and commission the new 577-megawatt dual-fuel, combined cycle power plant at Haynes Generating Station. The project, completed one month ahead of schedule, benefited from a successful partnering initiative between the Kiewit team and the Owner.
To decrease the cost of hydroelectric power and increase the demand for service, Peter Kiewit Sons Co. was awarded the bid-build contract to expand the Healey Falls Generating Station. Located about 15 kilometers north of Campbellford, the generating station will have a new unit in a spare bay inside the existing hydroelectric power plant once complete.
Completed nearly two and a half months ahead of schedule, the 840-megawatt High Desert Power Plant project involved placing three gas combustion turbines and a 323-megawatt steam turbine. Kiewit also performed work in the control, administration, warehouse and water treatment facilities.
Kiewit participated in a joint venture to engineer, procure, construct, commission and startup the Hines Energy Complex’ fourth power block. The Hines Power Block IV was completed on schedule, and is large enough to supply power to approximately 365,000 homes.
