Power Project Profiles
Auxiliary Heating Boiler
Due to the retirement of several units at a multi-unit Midwestern power plant, station heating would be available from only two remaining units.
Coal Handling Facility
Valdes Engineering Company was selected by a major material handling supplier to provide the detailed structural and mechanical designs associated with a new coal railcar unloading facility for a power plant.
Coal Gasification Commercial Plant Feasibility Study
Valdes Engineering Company worked closely with this client to develop the front-end engineering package for a large scale commercial coal gasification plant.
High Energy Piping Surveillance
Piping and pipe support problems sometimes cause forced outages at older power plants. Valdes Engineering Company's highly experienced pipe stress analysis group has developed a surveillance program designed to evaluate existing piping installations.
Motor Control Center Replacement
A major Midwestern plant selected Valdes Engineering Company to design and manage the replacement of two main motor control centers in the production unit.
Peaker Output Relocation Study
A Midwestern utility selected Valdes Engineering Company to prepare an engineering study to evaluate the proposed relocation of the electrical output from eight turbine-generators.
