Harsco's Infrastructure Group Expands Role on Major U.S. Energy Plant Construction Project; Anticipates $25 Million in Revenu...
November 03 2011 - 9:13AM
Global industrial solutions company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC)
announced today the expansion of its work on a major brownfield
energy plant in the U.S. regarded as one of the cleanest
coal-burning plants ever built in the United States. By the time of
project completion in early 2012, Harsco's role is expected to have
produced revenues of approximately $25 million in sales and
services, making it one of Harsco Infrastructure's key North
American projects for 2011-2012 and a prime example of the group's
capabilities for supporting major industrial and civil works
projects worldwide.
Harsco is providing scaffold access services for the completion
of Dominion Virginia Power's 585-megawatt Virginia City Hybrid
Energy Center (VCHEC), an all-new electric power generating
facility being built in southwestern Virginia. Harsco was selected
for the project by The Shaw Group Inc., the project's engineering,
procurement and constructor, to perform an independent analysis of
the project's optimum scaffold requirements and associated labor
productivity. Harsco's role has expanded to include scaffold
project management over a peak work force on site of 375 certified
scaffold erectors, with over 2,000 access platforms erected.
Harsco's ability to manage complex access labor projects along
with the implementation of Harsco's proprietary Scaffold Tracker
Project Professional® program have both benefited the project's
productivity goals. "Harsco Infrastructure's partnership with
Shaw has contributed to productivity and cost savings," said Robert
Ball, Shaw's project manager. "Harsco's commitment to safety
has added to a safe work environment and culture on site," he
continued. "Our employees use their scaffolds daily." The
scope and effectiveness of Harsco's role is expected to lead to
future bidding opportunities on additional energy and
infrastructure projects across the globe.
