11 December 2006 -- Babcock Power Inc. (BPI) announced that its subsidiary, Thermal Engineering International Inc. (TEi) has recently received a contract for the condenser tube bundles for Bruce Power's Nuclear power plant located near Kincardine on Lake Huron, approximately 250 km northwest of Toronto.
TEi's scope includes the design and fabrication of 12 replacement tube bundles for Bruce A Units 1 and 2 condensers. The tube bundles will be fabricated in TEi's Sapulpa, Okla. manufacturing facility, and will require heavy haul truck transports to deliver them to the plant site. There are two sections per bundle and when assembled they are approximately 12 feet wide by 43 feet long by 16 feet high and weigh in excess of 240,000 pounds. TEi worked closely with the erector to develop a unique process to efficiently remove the old bundles and insert the new ones.
Bruce Power is a partnership of Cameco Corp., TransCanada Corporation, BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust, a trust established by the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, the Power Workers' Union and The Society of Energy Professionals. As Canada's only private nuclear generating company, Bruce Power currently operates six units and is in the process of restarting two more at its 2,300-acre site, which is already the source of more than 20 percent of Ontario's electricity.
