(Cross, South Carolina) - Zachry has mobilized on a new project with longstanding customer Santee Cooper. The new Cross Station facility will operate at 600 Mw and is the third of four units to be built at the site.
"The new coal plants will help stabilize our long-term energy costs," said Santee Cooper's president and chief executive officer Lonnie Carter.

In an effort to minimize costs, Santee Cooper chose to build its new plants at existing coal stations, like Cross, and employ an experienced contractor, like Zachry, familiar with Santee Cooper's processes, procedures, culture and expectations.

Zachry's scope of work on the Mechanical Equipment Erection contract is expected to last about 28 months, and includes erection and installation of high-pressure and low-pressure condensers, a bottom ash hopper, tripper conveyor equipment, limestone and reagent preparation handling systems, gypsum dewatering equipment, two forced-draft fans and two induced-draft fans.
