INNOVATION IN POWER GENERATION
Sargent & Lundy, LLC
Riverside Repowering Project
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
The Riverside Power Plant has been a critical source of electricity for downtown
Minneapolis, Minn., and surrounding communities since 1911. Converting
the existing coal-fired station into a natural gas-fired plant will allow cleaner
and more efficient operations as well as significantly reduce air emissions.
Generating capacity will increase by approximately 73 megawatts.
With Sargent & Lundy’s proprietary 3D model platform built around Bentley
products coupled with several other systems, the project connected team
members to develop an optimized design and provide almost around-the-clock
work. MicroStation, Bentley HVAC, Bentley Navigator, and S TAAD.Pro helped
save time and money during construction sequencing, interference checking,
walk-throughs, and constructability reviews.

J. Lamar Stall Unit at Arsenal Hill
Shreveport, Louisiana, United States
To meet additional electricity demand through 2010 and beyond, the J. Lamar
Stall Unit at Arsenal Hill–a 508-megawatt, combined-cycle natural gas-fired
plant–is being designed and constructed at American Electric Power’s and
Southwestern Electric Power Company’s existing Arsenal Hill Power Plant site
in Shreveport, La. The goal is to add a new power plant that will be a highly
reliable, environmentally sound, and an economical resource of electric power
to support the region’s growing energy demands.
The station is being installed on an existing site within city limits at the site of
several older operating units. A primary challenge was fitting all of the plant
components into an existing site with unusual boundaries and minimal space.
Sargent & Lundy deployed MicroStation, Bentley HVAC, Bentley Navigator, and
STAAD.Pro, which enabled model reviews and interference checking prior to
construction releases to minimize field changes and stay on schedule.
