(Indiantown and Parrish, Florida) - ZCC, in partnership with longtime alliance partner Black & Veatch, has formed Martin Manatee Power Partners, LLC (MMPP) to execute work at two new, state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly plants for Florida. The Martin and Manatee facilities – two combined-cycle, four-on-one, natural gas-fired plants – are expected to be among the nation’s cleanest and most cost-effective generating units when completed in 2005.

The sites are also home to two of the largest contracted power projects in the United States, and will each peak at about 450 workers. The Manatee plant is approximately 46 percent complete, including engineering, procurement and construction. Crews at each location have already placed several of the major foundations and are installing all necessary underground utilities. Combustion turbines and generators (CTGs) and heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) have recently been delivered to each site.
