随着佐治亚州的Power制定计划，以节省其陷入困境的数十亿美元的工厂Vogtle核扩展项目，并要求再完成五年以完成该计划，该公用事业公司及其母公司依靠Bechtel，Black＆＆Black＆Regure依靠成本，日程安排和风险分析Veatch和包括Pegasus-Global Holdings Inc.和Pricewaterhousecoopers的顾问。

Ultimately, Georgia Power solicited cost-to-complete proposals from Fluor Corp. and Bechtel and chose Bechtel to oversee construction work as part of its plan. By no means, however, is the plan for Bechtel to provide turnkey services under a typical engineer-procure-construct contract. Its work and scope is carefully delineated so that Bechtel shoulders no risk if its scope increases or some of its calculations were based on incorrect information provided by the utility and have to be redone.

在佐治亚州公共服务委员会要求的文件中，标题为“佐治亚电力公司第17届年度施工报告对于植物vogtle单元3和4,” Bechtel appears prepared to perform about $4.4 billion worth of work under its control. The contract appears to be a non-at-risk pact to manage direct labor at the site near Waynesboro for a fee of about $240 million, according to documents filed with the state public service commission by Georgia Power. Additionally, Bechtel stands to earn an extra $120 million in incentive payments, according to Macquarie Securities. That unconfirmed figure was published in Macquarie’s latest analysis for investors in Southern Co., Georgia Power’s parent.

Macquarie的分析师写道：“ Bechtel估计很大程度上与[Southern Co.和Georgia Power]相符，尽管Bechtel的时间表平均缩短了六个月。”该公司表示，如果Bechtel“按其雄心勃勃的时间表交付”，则欠奖励付款。

贝克特referred questions about the terms of its agreement to Georgia Power, which referred the matter to a media manager at Southern Co. The company was busy preparing for Hurricane Irma and did not respond in time for ENR’s deadline.

在对任务的评估下，Bechtel对手工艺，现场工程，设备，建筑质量控制和合同管理以及其他职责的责任大小。该公司没有评估分包合同，设计，工程以及可能的延迟，缺陷或结果返工。Bechtel也没有评估采购，现场交付以及相关的返工，初创和调试，与燃油有关的问题，现场安全或整体项目集成和管理。

主要承包商Westinghouse将Fluor Corp.带入了该项目，当时是一名非风险的白骑士，之后，邵氏集团和芝加哥桥梁和铁削减了他们的高风险合同，以逃避在南卡罗来纳州Vogtle及其双胞胎的损失，V.C.夏季项目。这两项工作都有Westinghouse的新AP1000反应堆设计。在Westinghouse下工作的Fluor无法产生希望的结果。借助Southern Co.的核部门，Bechtel似乎准备介入担任经理的建设。

佐治亚力量称赞

说到贝克特的责任，佐治亚州的权力说，这是“世界上最受尊敬的工程，建筑和项目管理公司之一，将作为主要建筑承包商。”

贝克特already is at work on the project, although in a limited role, with 220 employees on the nuclear island. Georgia Power said Westinghouse, prior to its bankruptcy filing in March, brought in Bechtel in January for “leadership augmentation” to remove scope from Fluor and self-perform nuclear-island construction.

Under the plan, Unit 3 begins operation in November, 2021; Unit 4 will begin a year later. Both units will cost an additional $9.45 billion. Georgia’s PSC must vote to saddle ratepayers with a chunk of those costs and Westinghouse’s parent must cough up $1.4 billion, too. The companies that had been building Plant Vogtle’s South Carolina twin chose to shut it down rather than continue.

Depending on what Georgia’s PSC decides, Plant Vogtle could still meet the same fate.
