Safe and Successful Power Plant Decommissioning, Demolition and Restoration
Challenge
The New York Power Authority (NYPA) planned to decommission its Poletti Generating Station in Astoria, NY in accordance with approved plans. NYPA required Owner’s Engineering services for abatement, decommissioning, demolition and restoration of this site, which is located along the East River in New York City. The project scope includes comprehensive permitting and protection of other generating stations on this critical infrastructure site.
Solution
TRC provided Owner’s Engineering Services including program and project management, structural surveys, asbestos and regulated materials surveys, asset recovery, environmental site assessments, permitting, plans and specifications and procurement support services. NYPA issued these detailed plans and specifications for bid to qualified contractors. NYPA and TRC evaluated fixed price proposals prior to awarding a contract.
Results
Safety is our highest priority, and NYPA and TRC have completed the design and procurement phases of this project with ZERO incidents or accidents. NYPA and TRC developed a detailed scope of work, a baseline schedule and cost estimate, including a credit for scrap and salvage value. During the procurement phase, NYPA was able to pre-qualify contractors and obtain competitive bids based on a defined scope of work and implementation schedule. During the construction phase, TRC provided resident inspection services to ensure compliance with safety, environmental and contract.
