EnergyLink International is excited to share significant progress in our work at the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) Astoria converter station. We have recently completed setting and installing the Air Handling Units (AHU) and have completed installing the exterior panels on the Converter, Service, Relay, and Storage Buildings.

This milestone signifies a pivotal step forward in supplying the New York power grid with 1,250 MW of renewable energy, advancing New York towards its environmental goals. Under the guidance of Derek Wallace, PMP, C.Tech, Director of Projects, and with the oversight of Colin Martin, Sr. Project Manager, and Mike Waugh, Sr. Manager, Construction, our team’s continued dedication to safety and quality has been recognized with multiple on-site safety awards from Kiewit.

We are proud to support Kiewit’s activities in the New York City region, contributing to their 146 miles (235 km) of on-land construction. This collaboration reflects our collective commitment to empowering the future of New York’s energy grid.

Supporting the success of our partners’ projects is another demonstration of how EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.

EnergyLink International is excited to announce that we are nearing substantial completion of an acoustic barrier and enclosure project for our client in Omaha, Nebraska. This project complements the recently completed acoustic building at a nearby site, where EnergyLink guarantees compliance with stringent low frequency (dBC) noise limits. The barrier and enclosure will contain noise from a large-frame gas turbine used as backup power for the abundant renewable energy resources in the area.

Mike Waugh – Senior Manager, Construction, and Wild Guevara P.Eng – Project Manager, have ensured the safe and timely completion of this high-quality work. EnergyLink International’s site-wide acoustic guarantee is made possible through the expertise of Chris Giesbrecht – Senior Manager, Engineering, who designed the acoustic exhaust and boundary barrier walls, and Gustavo Elgueta – Noise Emissions SME, who will ensure that they perform as designed.

The completion of this project is yet another testament to EnergyLink’s unwavering commitment to excellence, and how we are constantly connecting you to a better way.

 

Last year, we celebrated significant strides on a custom designed acoustic building project in Omaha, Nebraska. EnergyLink International is proud to share that we are approaching substantial completion on our scope of work supporting our client.

Mike Waugh – Senior Manager, Construction and Colin Martin – Project Manager, have led our team throughout the scope of work, ensuring the delivery of the highest quality of work from start to finish. They have demonstrated their unwavering dedication to safety and efficiency, navigating the construction of one of the heaviest steel envelopes on record without incident and minimal deviation from the original forecasted timeline.

Chris Giesbrecht – Senior Manager, Engineering, custom designed the building with complete utility and safety services for a true turnkey experience. Additionally, to address noise concerns at the site of the plant, Chris has designed a custom ventilation cooling system utilizing heavy steal casing and large silencer baffles providing industry leading low-frequency noise attenuation not possible with standard commercial HVAC equipment.

The successful completion of this project is another example of how EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.

We are pleased to announce a noteworthy advancement in our collective pursuit to advance the American energy landscape: our work towards the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) Astoria converter station has reached significant progress of work and we celebrated the Topping Out for the station today on March 27, 2024. We are proud to have contributed our expertise towards the construction of the Astoria converter station, supporting Kiewit’s activities in New York City region as part of their 146 miles (235 km) of on-land construction.

This milestone signifies a pivotal step forward to supplying the New York power grid with 1,250 MW of renewable energy and progressing New York towards their environmental goals. Under the guidance of Derek Wallace, PMP, C.Tech, Director of Projects, and oversight of Colin Martin, Sr. Project Manager & Mike Waugh, Sr. Manager, Construction, our team continues to work diligently to achieve important milestones while upholding the highest standards of quality and safety reflecting EnergyLink and Kiewit’s commitment to empowering the future of New York’s energy grid.

Supporting the success of our partners’ projects is another demonstration of how EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.

As previously announced, EnergyLink International was chosen to work with a team of leading companies on a clean energy transmission project in support of innovating the American energy grid, using high voltage direct current (HVDC). Today, as part of a major milestone update, EnergyLink’s on-site scope of work has begun in support of Kiewit in their construction activities towards the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE).

As a a recognized authority in construction, Kiewit was selected to lead on-land construction activity for the entirety of CHPE HVDC route, of 146 miles (235 km) of on-land infrastructure for the 339-mile (546 km) transmission line, as well as the construction of a converter station in Astoria, Queens. Due to our extensive experience and strong reputation for delivering sound solutions to complex challenges, EnergyLink was chosen to support Kiewit in this endeavor by fabricating and installing custom designed envelopes to house the converter station processing equipment. Derek Wallace, PMP, C.Tech (Director of Projects) continues to lead our team to achieve milestones on schedule while Mike Waugh (Sr. Manager, Construction) will oversee the highest quality of work while ensuring safe installation of all structural steel, custom-envelopes, HVAC systems, plumbing, fire suppression and finish systems for a true turnkey experience.

CHPE is New York’s first Tier 4 project as part of the state’s Large-Scale Renewables Program. Tier 4 projects aim to responsibly deliver affordable renewable energy to New York City, the largest energy load region in America. With an energy grid consisting of nearly 90% carbon-fired electricity and geographic isolation from renewable power generation projects, CHPE represents a significant step forward towards achieving New York’s goal of transitioning to a zero-emissions grid by 2040. Upon completion, CHPE will deliver 1,250 MW of renewable energy from Quebec – enough to power over a million homes and retire 14 out of the 15 peaking generating plants in New York City.

Supporting leading companies in bringing projects to life is another example of how EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.

EnergyLink is proud to share that we have completed a tonal noise analysis for a new power plant as part of our noise guarantee for our client.

To ensure that tonal noise is not emitted to nearby residential areas, our team visited a power plant operated by our client which has an identical turbine unit to the future plant. Gustavo Elgueta – Noise Emissions SME, performed near field noise measurements to detect pure tones near several pieces of equipment. Using this data, Gustavo Elgueta updated the sound power level of sources with tonal components and calculated the 1/3 octave band sound pressure levels at the facility nearest residential receptors using leading noise propagation modelling software.

The results of this analysis in conjunction with prior ambient noise monitoring Guarantees that the gas turbine power plant near Omaha will not produce tonal noise at residential properties. Guaranteeing high-quality solutions for our clients that exceed their expectations is another way that EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.
