GRE Cambridge Station Unit 2

To meet the energy demands of a community that was experiencing growth, Great River Energy (GRE) constructed a state-of-the art combustion turbine plant in Cambridge, Minnesota with a generation capability of approximately 154 megawatts. The natural gas-fired power generation facility was built on a site already owned by GRE and adjacent to an existing smaller generating – Cambridge Station Unit 1.

Harris was contracted to serve as the general contractor for this project providing the piping systems to support the gas-fired turbine and managing the construction of the plant. In this role, Harris was responsible for inventorying the Siemens turbine generator equipment that had been in storage for two years. To manage this labor-intensive task, Harris developed a system to track any shortages, damages and/or delivery problems – a system which Siemens uses to this day on other jobs.
