The AEP Mountaineer CO2 Capture Project, with technology by Alstom Power, is designed to remove carbon dioxide from flue gas that is emitted from the coal fired power plant. Bowen Engineering has completed the site preparation, grading and drainage culverts, underground piping and concrete foundations. The team is currently self performing the mechanical piping (20,000 lf), insulation (sub) and heat trace (sub) with a Bowen staff of approximately 80 people working two shifts 6 days a week.
The project, which began in July of 2008, will be substantially complete at the end of August 2009 and online in October 2009. Upon completion, we will have utilized approximately 100,000 Bowen personnel hours to support this project. I am excited to report that on July 13th, 2009 we will be celebrating a full year of construction without a recordable injury. Read more
