Our commitment to improving power generation technology is reflected in our efforts to serve all of the power industry's requirements, from small cogeneration plants, to large fossil-fueled, nuclear, and advanced technology facilities. Burns and Roe has completed projects for over 170 fossil-fueled generating units totaling over 70,000 MW, the majority of which were at new facilities or expansions for major utility companies. Burns and Roe is an industry leader in the engineering of cogeneration, merchant, combined cycle, and resource recovery plants. We also have designed nuclear power plants and participated in the design of advanced reactor projects.

Engineering, Procurement, and Construction of Power Generating Facilities
Our Company's activities encompass the entire spectrum of technical and project management services, from project planning through start-up and operation, and extending to decommissioning and dismantlement. We add value in the area of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) performance, as well as in the individual areas of engineering, procurement, and construction management. As a quality power engineering firm, we have the ability to work closely with constructors that have detailed knowledge of the local market conditions. Our clients in the independent energy industry present different challenges. With stiffer competition in a more complex marketplace, the independent power producers require an engineering company that can offer a responsive range of services, tailored to meet their needs at each stage of project development.

Utility Upgrades and Retrofits
Today's power market offers a new challenge – a diversity of plant types and clients that require a more customized service to meet associated special needs. Our clients need to upgrade and modernize their existing facilities to operate efficiently well beyond the originally anticipated plant life. We have developed the expertise, methods, and insights to efficiently retrofit a wide range of new systems into existing facilities, while still maintaining full production during the installation of the modifications.

Our engineers have successfully integrated air pollution control systems, new distributed control systems, materials handling systems, and many other new systems into existing plant operations. Our Company's experience includes combustion turbine technology, coal-fired facility upgrades, and commercial nuclear regulatory upgrades and decommissioning services.

Clean air requirements are having a profound effect on existing plant operations and new plant construction. Our Company's broad experience in clean coal technologies, backend cleanup systems, and continuous emissions monitoring systems ensures full regulatory compliance and efficient project development and implementation.

International Power
Our commitment to our clients transcends national boundaries. Burns and Roe's success in completing power and energy projects in the United States has led companies and governments worldwide to call on us to solve their engineering challenges. Burns and Roe has been active in the international electric power industry since the 1950s. We have experience in evaluating, designing, and constructing power plants around the world.

This experience includes detailed engineering and design, procurement, construction management services, and power supply planning. We have helped to promulgate advanced power and energy technologies in many countries. We are actively involved in international projects for fluidized bed combustion, supercritical coal-fired facilities, and coal gasification.
