TRC America, Inc. purchased the assets of the Hooker’s Point Power Plant to include 5 steam turbines and generators from 40 to 80 megawatt.

During phase one of the project, we worked with the facility environmental personnel to determine and test any potential environmental issues associated with this project. Our personnel oversaw the testing of equipment and associated piping to determine if any asbestos issues were present. After the results were reviewed, TRC contracted with a qualified company to abate the detected asbestos and supplied our customer with the proper documentation for removal and disposal.

During phase two we disassembled/ dismantled the turbines and generators along with 5 condensers, feed water heaters and pumps. As part of this phase, our crews dismantled/removed the complete substation for the facility to include all associated cable, buss, cable trays, transformers, oil filled circuit breakers and miscellaneous electrical gear. TRC America worked closely with the facility owner to schedule the equipment removal to meet set time requirements.

Our cutting crews cut in excess of 2.5 million pounds of steel and cast iron that in some cases exceeded 8” thick material. As part of TRC’s policy of maximizing the recoverable materials on our projects, we recycled 99% of all material removed from this facility to include copper, nickel, brass, steel, etc. Our crews have been trained to sort materials to provide the greatest return and have access to alloy testers if needed.
