projects many times time project information gets us distortion significant dave volunteered offer dates first meeting would suggest one topic first meeting coal projects attached messages appears stage potentially significant decisions path forward coal based experience brian believe coal fired power plant significant management challenge compared cgt points consider general coal fired power plants significantly different capital cost drivers combustion turbine projects major oem scope limited critical commercial control path normally boiler steam turbine many times material handling systems facility footprint tremendous impact cost difficult remove utility influences cost oem contractors coal plants significantly influenced utility concepts many cost capital cost disasters plants root causes inability owner teams control due fact many components engineer operator desire optimize gets trouble control timing scope addition large number components makes difficult visualize project thus large number changes incurred development actual design industry experience indicates capital cost success coal plant achieved bottom detail scope management process top functional specification work cgt installation bottom approach requires definition front costly options secure best price practice coal plants limited general basic issue options lower cost front end potentially high cost execution vice versa contractors oem turn coal plant limited full liability wrap makes list even smaller due risk wrap going expensive coal plant without doubt dramatically raise capital cost due designed capacity redundancy cgt never issue internal power island pricing mentioned bechtel experience world coal fired plants developed powerline series standard design plants standard plant concept successful bechtel reducing cost process plants face issues coal fired power plants supposedly bechtel engineered utility preferences plants 5 plants offering pulverized coal offer 2 x 350 mw 2 x 700 mw although yet get first 2 x 700 mw order circulating fluidized bed offer 2 x 250 mw developed sold 350 mw igcc based tennessee eastman model order magnitude costs look competitive care cautioned due reasons stated needing carefully examine scope coal plants despite planning effort note indicates bechtel significant cost schedule problems red hills cfb powerline 2 x 250 mw project mississippi tractebel bechtel team project among best problem publicized lack construction labor large number components drives labor requirements dramatically investment cgt bechtel filed
