Inland Empire Energy Center Project |
The Conco Companies
have been delivering expert concrete services for commercial, educational,
entertainment, healthcare, public works, and parking projects as well as for industrial
projects. Our portfolio contains several
large industrial projects throughout the West Coast such as the United Spiral
Pipe LLC (USP) plant, the Inland Empire Energy Center, and the former Solyndra
facilities.
Completed in 2010, United
Spiral Pipe (USP) is a state-of-the-art spiral welded pipe manufacturing plant
in Pittsburg, CA. The enormous rectangular
shaped building is 35 ft. tall, more than six city blocks long, and
approximately a block and a half wide. As a joint venture of United States Steel
Corporation and two South Korean firms, the steelmaker Posco and SeAH, a spiral
steel pipe manufacturer, the plant cost more than $130 million to
construct. The architect and engineer on
the project was the Continental Design And Management Group.
According to the
USP website, the plant has world-class pipe making and coating capabilities and
can produce 300,000 net tons of API specification line pipe per year in outside
diameters ranging from 24 inches to 64 inches.
The massive steel pipes are used to transport oil and natural gas for
the expanding North America pipe market.
Constructed to LEED standards, it exceeds California’s Title 24 lighting
requirements and is one of the most advanced and efficient spiral pipe mills in
North America to-date.
The Inland Empire
Energy Center was constructed in response to the quickly growing, under-serviced
energy market in Southern California.
The new energy plant was built by the General Electric Company and managing
partner, the Calpine Corporation. Located
on 46 acres in Romoland, CA. in Riverside County, the plant came online in 2008. The
large 800MW, natural gas-fired plant is capable of meeting the energy demands
of almost 600,000 households in the area.
