该项目团队表示，计划和协调对于使用佛罗里达工厂重新利用的设备在现有的弗吉尼亚电站建造新的340兆瓦能源设施至关重要。Of particular concern was the fact that the 10.5-acre construction site offered limited laydown space.
Custom rigging processes based on analyses of centers of gravity and picking points safely facilitated dismantling components into the largest shippable pieces. That minimized re-installation labor.
该团队说，一个复杂的库存系统跟踪了数千个设备组件的状态，其中包括两台旨在在高峰需求期间使用的大型气体燃烧涡轮机。
The team says that while dismantling equipment and systems is difficult, putting them back together is even harder. A laser scan of the Florida facility mapped the location and condition of existing equipment and systems to guide reassembly.
Delivery schedules were adjusted as necessary, occasionally resulting in shipping components overnight to avoid productivity lapses.
As work progressed, the team says unanticipated repair and replacement requirements demanded increased flexibility and work-arounds for craft and commissioning crews. Despite the 17-month project’s numerous inherent and unexpected complexities, the new facility was activated on schedule in May.
