Scope Of Work
Barton Malow has been performing annual refractory maintenance repairs at NRG Energy’s Powerton + Waukegan Generating Stations in Illinois since 1997.
Each year, Barton Malow inspects and repairs refractory in units 51, 52, 61 and 62 at NRG’s Powerton Generating Station in Pekin, Illinois. These units are comprised of 40 cyclones, 4 slag tanks, 8 slag necks, 8 GR and GT ducts, and 1 auxiliary boiler. Annual maintenance requires refractory to be rammed in the cyclones, cyclone doors and all firebox floors and walls. Brickwork is removed and new installation in all slag tanks occurs, shooting gunnite in all slag necks and in the slag tanks. Refractory is also removed and installed in all GR and GT ducts through casting and gunning refractory methods. Once refractory installation is finished, the work is sealed for completion
