The ENR Mid-Atlantic awards program features 18 categories
dedicated to honoring the best construction projects and the companies
that designed and built them. Judges selected the winning projects from
65 nominations in the Mid-Atlantic region, which encompasses Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of
Columbia. Projects were evaluated on the ability of the project team to
overcome challenges, contribution to the industry and community, safety,
and construction and design quality.
Brunswick County Power Station began commercial operations in April 2016
with Fluor providing engineering, procurement, construction and
commissioning services for the facility. Fluor’s construction staff and
craft peaked at about 1,500 team members. The construction team
successfully installed more than 38,000 cubic yards of concrete, 142,000
linear feet of pipe and 420 miles of cable. The project was completed
ahead of schedule. Significant attention was placed on safety, a core
value for both Fluor and Dominion.
The honors were announced Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at the ENR
Mid-Atlantic awards presentation in Baltimore.
“Receiving this recognition from ENR Mid-Atlantic is truly an
honor for Fluor,” said Wolfgang Greinke, vice president of Fluor’s Power
business. “This project exemplifies Fluor’s expertise and commitment to
bringing clean, natural gas energy to the grid. We are particularly
proud that the project was recognized for safety excellence. Our project
team, together with Dominion, is truly deserving of this notable
recognition from ENR.”
“Dominion is very proud to win this award from ENR—along with
Fluor—for the Brunswick County Power station project,” said Mark
Mitchell, vice president of generation construction for Dominion. “We
are especially proud that the station also won the Excellence in Safety
Award. Providing clean, affordable and reliable power every day to our
customers is our commitment, and by adding Brunswick to our fleet, it
contributes daily to doing just that.”
As a top category winning project in ENR Mid-Atlantic, Brunswick
County Power Station will compete in the national competition with
projects recognized in the energy/industrial category in ENR’s
other eight regions across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The selected
project will be recognized as an ENR Best of the Best Project in
a special editorial feature in early 2017.
