Woodland Generation Station Unit 3

The Modesto Irrigation District again selected IEC Corporation to provide Construction Management services and oversight for one of its new generating stations. The Woodland Unit 3 Project is being constructed adjacent to the District's Woodland Generation Stations 1 and 2 (IEC also served as Construction Manager for the Woodland 2 project). Woodland 3 will consist of six Wartsila reciprocating engines to be operated in simple cycle mode, with no steam generation, using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and oxidation catalyst to reduce air emissions. The net power output for the Woodland 3 Project is 49.6 MW. As the on-site Construction Manager, IEC is coordinating and managing the activities of all of the onsite construction contractors and directing all safety, scheduling, quality control and regulatory items.

The new Woodland 3 plant will share some of the plant infrastructure at the existing Woodland Generation Stations, including water, natural gas delivery and the 69kV switchyard, among others. As a result, IEC is carefully coordinating all plant tie-in (interface) construction activities in order to minimize the amount of down time at the existing Woodland Generation Station.

In order to provide adequate space for the Project, the District is also re-aligning the access road (Graphics Drive) to the west of the existing Woodland Generation Stations. Construction of the re-aligned road, a signalized intersection at Graphics Drive and Woodland Avenue and a new entrance to the District’s Service Center north of Woodland Avenue is also part of the overall Project and IEC’s Construction Management responsibilities.

IEC’s construction manager and field engineers are currently on-site and performing all management, administration, monitoring, inspections, controls, quality assurance, and oversight for the Project. IEC is also acting as the liaison for MID and for MID’s design engineer for the Project.
