摘要

The Bierlein Cos., a nationwide demolition and environmental contractor, recently completed demolition activities at the Port Wash- ington Generating Station located at the historic fishing harbor in Port Washington, WI. The coal-fired powerplant, commissioned in 1935, was once the most efficient generating station in the world.The five coal-fired boilers are in the process of being replaced with two 545 MW gas-fired units. Port Washington Generating Station is an intermediate load plant, supplying electricity during periods of heavy demand. The rebuilt plant will provide the state of Wisconsin with new capacity to meet growing demand for power in the northern Milwaukee area.
