Scope Of Work
We Energies' new Rothschild facility serves as a model of the effectiveness of energy recycling. It uses cogeneration, or combined heat and power, to simultaneously generate electricity and useful heat. It also serves as an example of what Boldt's unique Integrated Lean Project Delivery® (ILPD) process can accomplish.
In our role as construction manager and general contractor, we worked with the engineering firm Poyry Group to collaboratively commission, design and construct the facility. It uses forest, sawmill residue and recycled paper mill waste as a source of fuel. Low-value woods procured locally and harvested with sustainable forestry practices produce electricity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
