In 2008, Babcock & Wilcox PowerGeneration Group, Inc. (B&W PGG) was awarded a contract to designand manufacture a solar receiver to harness the sun’s energy to produce superheated steam to generate “green” electricity. In August 2009, Babcock & Wilcox Construction Co., Inc. (BWCC) installed the 50 ton (45,000 kg) receiver atop a 150 foot (46 m) high stand-alone tower. Because BWCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of B&W PGG, the material design and manufacturing supply were fully integrated into BWCC’s final installation plan. This close working relationship enabled the team to safely raise the solar receiver to its final position in less than six hours.
