DTE ENERGY COMPANY MONROE POWER PLANT
A POWERFUL RELATIONSHIP Although Barton Malow has served DTE for almost 20 years, our work at the Monroe Power Plant started in 2005. Our work at the 3,000 megawatt plant has included engineer/ procure/construct (EPC), general contracting and designbuild contracts as well as self-perform civil, concrete, resteel fabrication and mechanical installation services. Reducing Emissions Requires Lots of Concrete Specific projects at the plant have included Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) foundations for units 1, 2, 3 and 4. FGD’s help reduce sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury and particulate emissions from coal-fired power plants like the DTE Monroe site. Our current work on site includes the Selective Catalytic Reducer (SCR) unit 2 project, where we’re performing work at and below grade. The work for these environmental upgrade units and adjacent facilities and infrastructure

includes driving H-pile, concrete foundations, sumps, pits and trenches, site utilities, storm and sanitary sewers, underground fire protection, embedded piping and drainage, electrical duct banks and grounding and pipe supports as well as concrete foundation walls and supported slabs, equipment pads and elevated slabs. To date, we’ve placed 70,000 cubic yards of concrete at DTE Monroe. That’s enough to cover 79 football fields with 6 inches of concrete! The Relationship Continues Barton Malow was recently selected as the design-builder for the 33,000 square foot Warehouse B project. We’re providing design and construction services as well as self-performing the excavation, backfill, underground utilities, concrete and interiors. This fast-tracked project marks our most comprehensive contracting approach for DTE to date.
