Project Overview

The John W. Turk, Jr. Power Plant is one of the cleanest coal-fueled plants and the first of its kind in operation in the United States. The 600-megawatt plant will use an advanced 鈥淯ltra-Supercritical鈥 coal combustion technology and enables the plant to meet stringent emission limits. The Rotary Car Dumper has 81-foot deep foundations that required moving 150,000 cubic yards of dirt and rock.
