2009 PMI Project of the Year Award Winner: Fluor Video

Fluor Enterprises, Inc. and Newmont Nevada Energy Investment, Ltd. for their Newmont TS Power Plant Project.

In July 2004, Newmont Nevada Energy Investment (NNEI) contracted with Fluor for the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of a new 242 MW (gross output) coal fired power plant in a remote area of Nevada.

Through a tireless risk management approach and high-performance teamwork the team executed 3 million work-hours without a lost-time accident. The team also implemented Hispanic workforce initiatives, process hazard reviews and was awarded the prestigious Safe Partner Award by the State of Nevada. Reliable power generation was completed on 16 April 2008, almost 10 weeks ahead of schedule. Full load was achieved only 27 days after First Fire on Coal. This accelerated schedule also assisted in exemplary cost savings results.
