The overall scope of the project packages three different projects under one contract: Dry Ash Conversion (DAC), Bottom Ash Conversion (BAC), and a new wastewater treatment facility with over 100,000 man-hours to date. This is Plocher’s largest project in 2019 which is moving along quite swiftly. The weather has been a challenge to say the least, but despite a 6 week flood delay earlier in the summer, the schedule has been recovered, and all of the below grade civil work on site has been completed. The wastewater and ash handling structures are being erected, and equipment is being installed. We are on target to turn over the first of the new CCR waste handling systems by the end of the year. Throughout the next year, crews will be working toward completing the remaining ash handling systems and water treatment plant to support the plant’s turnover and commissioning dates in the fall of 2020.

The 26-acre development on the site of the former Madison Mutual Insurance Company headquarters will consist of six out lots, three mixed use residential buildings, single story retail buildings and a new 40,000 square foot flag ship store for Kloss Furniture. The project will include approximately 78,000 square feet of leasable commercial retail space. The Trace will make up the residential portion of the complex, consisting of 184 luxury apartments units and will be a mix of one, two and three -bedroom units.
