< Back to all projects CLAYVILLE PEAKING PLANT LOCATION: Vineland, NJ DESIGN START/COMPLETION: Spring 2014 – Spring 2015 SIZE & TECHNOLOGY: 64 MW Trent 60 Gas Turbine / Dilution Air SCR / Natural Gas Compression / Utility Sub-Station IN-SERVICE: Spring 2015 FIRM ROLE: Engineering Waldron was selected as the Engineer of Record for the design of a new peaking facility located adjacent to the Atlantic City Electric Clayville Substation in Vineland, NJ. With the success of the Waldron designed Howard Down Unit #11 project, Vineland Municipal Electric Utility chose to further increase capacity within their service territory. The option was exercised for the purchase of a second Trent 60, SC and natural gas compressor. Waldron developed a detailed design package around the Trent 60 engine and substation interconnection. In addition, Waldron supported VMEU in the selection and oversight of a general contractor to implement our design. The plant was in-service in the Fall of 2015.

< Back to all projects TUFTS UNIVERSITY COMMISSIONING LOCATION: Medford, MA SIZE & TECHNOLOGY: 4 MW Gas-fired recip. engine. 800-ton electric chiller 600-tons of hot water absorption chiller and pumps IN SERVICE: Winter 2018 FIRM ROLE: Owner’s Engineer Services, Cx Waldron Engineering was contracted to perform the commissioning services for the new Tufts Central Energy Plant. The plant consisted of a 4 MW gas-fired reciprocating engine, with 200 horsepower waste heat recovery boiler and 3x800 horsepower firetube boilers. The facility also included an 800-ton electric chiller and 600-ton hot water absorption chiller. Waldron, as the commissioning agent and systems trainer, coordinated new boiler/chiller plant startup while the existing plant was in operation, provided supplemental design and engineering during construction and commissioning, worked with vendors to correct equipment design oversight, and developed commissioning test procedures. The challenge of getting the new systems operational against the backdrop of a working plant required careful coordination, precise planning, and smooth execution of our commissioning plan. Tufts was able to get its system online and derive an economic benefit from its new cogeneration systems.
