Power Plant Siting Services

Selecting the most appropriate site is a critical step in the development of a power plant project. A good site can significantly decrease costs, increase public acceptance, and facilitate regulatory approvals. Many factors affect the suitability of a site, and the evaluation of these factors demands the integration of many professional disciplines. Sargent & Lundy’s approach to site selection studies is designed to integrate the necessary disciplines in the most cost-effective manner. This successful integration of engineering, environmental, and economic disciplines ensures that plant sites worthy of consideration are optimized and sites with unfavorable characteristics are eliminated early in the study.
