Structural Upgrades

Aging facilities and staffing limitations can challenge power generation plants at every turn. To help your teams perform their work safely and efficiently, it is important to provide access and the right tools for the task. Meeting the abundant annual operation and maintenance demand at your plants can feel like an elusive goal.

By implementing strategic structural upgrades, you can improve reliability, reduce maintenance times, and ease access challenges. We leverage a wide variety of experience, working directly with your team to find the optimal solution for your specific needs.

Because of Burns & McDonnell’s size and structure, we leverage experienced specialists across our company to support your project planning, environmental, engineering, procurement and construction needs. We support projects varying in scale from thousands to millions. 

If your staff is struggling with unpredictable temperatures, rain, and wind that can leave your crews with little time to prepare, a weather enclosure may be the solution for you. Weather enclosures can shelter your team and support uninterrupted work during outages to minimize lost time and add plant reliability during extreme weather conditions. 

Among our full-service capabilities for power generation plant structural upgrades:

  • Access platforms, walkways and stairs
  • Chimney and stack studies
  • Control room upgrades
  • Ductwork and bellow design
  • Dynamic and deep foundation design and evaluation
  • Engineering oversight during construction
  • Guard shacks
  • Maintenance shops
  • Monorails, cranes, jibs and hoists
  • New and replacement elevators
  • Pipe support design
  • Procurement support
  • Retaining structures
  • Structural assessments
  • Weather enclosures
