Solution

For this project, Ranger installed equipment to restart power plant production in the event of a regional power outage. The project required simultaneous installation of generators and related equipment at two, separate power plants.

As a contractor, we were responsible for full mechanical installation, start-up, and commissioning of all major equipment. We worked directly with a GE representative to ensure that work was completed properly and to specification.

Highlights

  • Installed Turbine, Generator, Gas Pipeline, Exhaust Stack, Fin Fan Coolers, Among Additional Items
  • Completed Both Installations Simultaneously With Separate Internal Resources
  • Planned and Completed Over 40 Critical Lifts With Various Cranes
  • Installed Over 2,500 Feet of Four-inch Gas Pipe
  • Recommended and Installed Valve Shutoff Between the Systems, Serving as a Major Component of the Outage Work
