Description: The T.B. Simon Power Plant is located on the south side of Service Road in the Service District. The additional scope includes a fast-car unloading system by way of a second coal conveyor belt in the coal conveyor gallery on the south side of the power plant. This will reduce the length of time the coal cars remain on site and to process more coal by simultaneously fueling the plant and unloading the coal cars. The additional scope also includes an enhanced dust mitigation system to minimize the university's risk exposure in the coal crusher house and gallery. The resulting demurrage savings would pay for this added scope in eight years.
Timeline: Construction is began in May 2011 and was substantially completed by December 2011, with final completion in September 2012.
