Solargenix Energy
Boulder City, NV

Nevada Solar One has selected Lauren Engineers & Constructors as the EPC contractor to build a 64 MW power generating facility in Boulder City, Nevada - the largest-capacity solar thermal plant to be built in the last 15 years and the third-largest in the world. The project will use the latest in alternative fuel technology from Solargenix Energy, Inc. Upon project completion, the plant will consist of a Power Block area and a 400-acre field of mirror arrays that will focus the heat of the desert sun into a heat transfer fluid system. Groundbreaking for the project was on February 11, 2006 and Lauren mobilized a construction team two days later. Through May 24th, 90,497 man-hours were expended by direct hire and subcontract personnel. Fabrication of the solar field metals continues with start-up of the solar field pipe supports. Estimated completion date is the second quarter of 2007.
