Power Plant Operating and Maintenance Expertise

Our proven record of industry expertise speaks for itself. We’re recognized for innovative operating and maintenance (O&M) programs, and for helping our customers achieve remarkable increases in safety, operability and reliability. We consistently deliver excellence by performing high quality work to exacting specifications and with a clear focus on customer service.

We have considerable expertise in power plant start up, mobilization, commissioning and commercial operations. Our experience with power generation ranges from large gas turbine facilities, using ABB 11Ns, GE-7FAs, EAs, LM 6000s, aeroderivative, and Siemens V84s, to small and medium-sized coal, biomass and synthetic fuel facilities.

Site-specific Environmental Programs

Primesouth was among the first in the industry to have site-specific environmental programs. We regularly conduct audits of the facilities we work with and provide solutions for enhancing operating efficiency and flexibility, minimizing environmental impacts, and reducing maintenance and emergency response costs.

Primesouth’s Brooklyn Navy Yard facility was recently recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a National Performance Track member, a high honor and acknowledgment of our exceptional environmental management program. The facility utilizes a state-of-the-art water treatment system to produce the water required for the million pounds of steam provided to the utility.

Award-winning Safety Programs

Our exemplary safety record at Primesouth is widely recognized. Two Primesouth facilities were recently awarded top honors from the South Carolina Occupational Safety Council: The Winyah Synfuel Project, operated and maintained by Primesouth at the Santee Cooper Generating Station, and the Savannah River Facility. The staff at the Savannah River facility also won the Palmetto Safety Excellence Award.

In addition, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration facility in Brooklyn, N.Y., operated and maintained by Palmark, Inc., a subsidiary of Primesouth, was recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a National Performance Track member. Performance Track rewards facilities that voluntarily exceed regulatory requirements, implement systems for improving environmental management; work with their communities, and set three-year goals for improvements in environmental performance.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also recently awarded the Brooklyn Navy Yard facility its top `STAR'' rating for excellence in workplace health and safety. OSHA Star status is the highest U.S. government award for excellence in safety.

You can rest assured that your plant will be operated in accordance with all regulatory requirements - and at peak efficiency.
