Bridgeport, CT

Site/Civil Engineering

To provide cleaner and more efficient energy production, the existing coal-fired power plant at Bridgeport Harbor Station was planned for decommission and replacement with a proposed combined-cycle facility to meet the region’s growing demand for electricity.  The new facility consists of a 485 MW dual fuel, single train combined-cycle power plant with a combustion turbine, a heat recovery steam generator and a steam turbine to generate electricity. The combustion turbine will utilize natural gas or ultra-low-sulfur distillate fuel oil to generate electricity in a clean and efficient manner.

Civil 1 is responsible for reviewing the Stormwater Pollution Control Plan, providing on-going inspections and oversight of the erosion and sediment controls in place during construction, and providing recommendations to the client to maintain complaince with permitting requirements.

Comprehensive oversight of the erosion and sediment control plan is critical to protect the adjacent natural resources, as work progresses, due to the site’s proximity to the Long Island Sound and adjacent tidal wetlands.
