Russell City
Project Description
The Russell City Energy Center is a 619-megawatt combined-cycle electric generating facility that provides for 600,000 households throughout western Alameda County and the San Francisco Peninsula. The Energy Center uses natural gas for fuel, resulting in an over 90% reduction of emissions and an increase in efficiency of 40% over older, fossil-fueled generating facilities in the Bay Area. As part of the emission controls, the facility uses 100% reclaimed water from the City of Hayward’s Water Pollution Control Facility for cooling and boiler makeup, preventing nearly four million gallons of wastewater per day from being discharged into the San Francisco Bay.
Services Provided
Signet provided special inspections, earthwork monitoring and materials testing services including geotechnical laboratory testing, soils/AC compaction testing and observation, asphalt, concrete placement, reinforced steel, offsite precast pile fabrication inspection, structural steel and non-destructive testing (UT/MT).
