ianbro’s Industrial and Manufacturing Market (IDM) expanded into the Southeast United States almost five years ago and has continued to develop relationships with key clients. Our focus is on complex projects using Cianbro’s experience in power generation and renewable energy. Cianbro is currently working with several clients that have long term energy strategies in place and share in our commitment to quality and safety. Cianbro paired with Southern Company subsidiary Georgia Power to complete the Bartletts Ferry Dam Spillway Replacement in 2019. The project entailed replacement of 19 tainter style flood gates, gate sills, and gate guide angles – a hydroelectric project of this scope, scale, and magnitude had not yet been performed in the United States. The project received the Engineering News Record’s Southeast Best Project Award in the energy/industrial category and the Associated Builders and Contractors Connecticut Excellence in Construction Award in the industrial category. As the market focus shifts from fossil fuels to renewable energy, Cianbro is focused on generating additional opportunities in solar, hydroelectric, natural gas, and other renewable sources. Cianbro has taken positive steps towards expanding into other regional avenues of industrial work by leveraging our business units including the building market team, Starcon, and A/Z Corporation. Two prominent clients in the mid-Atlantic region are Dominion Cove Point and GenOn. The Dominion Cove Point LNG facility continues to provide year round work including an outage season that has produced larger opportunities for our industrial crews. Additionally, Cianbro has been awarded multiple phases of the installation of a SFC Bottom Ash conveyor system at the GenO n Chalk Point facility in Aquasco, Maryland. Scope of work includes installing a large conveyor and associated piping into a tight area of the operating power plant.
