Fluor Corporation announced that it has achieved substantial completion for Dominion Virginia Power’s Brunswick County (Va.) Power Station.
Fluor provided engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services for the 1,358-megawatt natural gas-fueled power station in Brunswick County, Virginia. Fluor completed the project with a construction staff totaling more than 1,500 workers during the peak of construction activity.
The completed power station will produce enough electricity to power 325,000 homes and began producing electricity for its customers in April.
“The completion of the Brunswick County facility is a prime example of Fluor’s service excellence we provide to our clients,” said Chris Tye, president of Fluor’s Power business.
“We are especially proud of the project team that demonstrated our ability to achieve quality completion ahead of schedule. Building upon our long and proven track record with Dominion, Fluor again delivered an asset that supports their pursuit to provide customers with clean and reliable energy.”
Fluor is also scheduled to begin construction on Dominion’s new Greensville County Power Station later this year, a 1,600-megawatt combined-cycle, natural gas-fired power station in Greensville County, located seven miles from the Brunswick County Power Station.
Below are highlights for the recently completed project.

The power station will use an air cooled condenser system to convert the steam used to produce electricity back into water which will then be reused to create additional steam. The air cooled system will save more than 8 million gallons of water a day as compared to a more traditional water cooled system. The condenser shown under construction will be the largest of its type in the country. (Sylvia Allen/Brunswick Times-Gazette)
