Melanie Lekocevic is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media the Port of Coeymans is scheduled to move a 4,000-ton heat recovery steam generator from the port onto a barge, Tue., Aug. 2. The heating structure will then be transported south on the Hudson River to a power plant in Sewaren, New Jersey. This is the first time a structure of this size has been built off-site and then transported, and it is the largest project of this size in the United States. The parts for the 8-million-pound generator were shipped to the port in November 2016, and workers have been putting it together 24 hours a day, six days a week, ever since. The structure will be welded onto the deck of a barge 100 feet wide and 400 feet long, and then pulled by three tugboats down the river. The barge will leave Coeymans Mon., Aug. 7. The trip to New Jersey is expected to take 24 hours. Read the full story at HudsonValley360 [dot] com.
