Scope Of Work

The John W. Turk, Jr. Power Plant will be one of the cleanest coal-fueled plants and the first of its kind in operation in the United States. The 600-megawatt plant will use an advanced "Ultra-Supercritical" coal combustion technology and enables the plant to meet stringent emission limits. Baker's total concrete package for the Rotary Car Dumper has 81-foot deep foundations that required moving 150,000 cubic yards of dirt and rock. Baker installed 20 wells, pumping water 24/7 in order to maintain low water levels and facilitate excavation. The Baker team placed 3.5 foot thick concrete walls while installing more than 943,000 lbs. of reinforcing steel.
