It’s a new world out there. The means and methods of generating and supplying the power to fuel it, move it, light it and improve it are rapidly evolving. Graycor is helping clients stay ahead, build cleaner ways to burn, and greener ways to help our clients energize homes all across the country. Graycor’s long-term relationships with many of the power industry’s leading corporations is a result of our total commitment to meeting the ever-changing needs of their market.

We specialize in providing progressive management, aggressive scheduling and the kind of forward thinking required to keep our power clients on the cutting edge.

Our team handles a full complement of construction services, including balance-of-plant work for environmental, new generation, transmission and distribution, wind power and nuclear facilities, as well as alternative fuel plants.

The Industrial group also encourages power clients to partner with Graycor Blasting for the most experienced, reliable and responsive industrial cleaning and maintenance experts.

    Air quality and environmental

    With sensitive schedules, comprehensive work scopes and complex worksites - often in fully operating power plants - environmental projects present their own unique set of challenges. Most of the time, these kinds of projects have demanding schedules and involve intricate retrofits.

    Our team meets these needs with detailed constructability studies, planning and project management. We also implement strict scheduling for everything from foundations and equipment installation retrofitting to structural steel and ductwork. Managing every aspect with maximum efficiency is what we do best.

    On-time completion is paramount; therefore, installation work requires critical planning of production outages.

    New generation

    Here in the Midwest and all across the country, there is a relatively new movement taking shape. Merchant power facilities, including fossil fuel, coal, natural gas, other alternative fuel plants and wind farms, are becoming an increasingly vital part of the power-generation landscape.

    At Graycor, we have the knowledge, experience and resources to help clients rise to the construction challenges of this burgeoning market. We have built combined-cycle and simple-cycle projects over recent years that have included the installation of multiple-turbine generator sets designed by various manufacturers in a variety of models.

    As the need grows, we continue to look for opportunities to increase the scope of our work with clients hoping to take on these new possibilities.

    Renewable Energy

    All the power in the world means nothing if it doesn’t get to those who need it. Over the years, Graycor has been doing more and more work building transformers and transmission and distribution substations for industry-leading power providers.

    With often hundreds of thousands of volts and the power needs of hundreds of thousands of homes on the line, this is demanding, exacting work. That’s why our expert teams are ideal. Our thoughtful, calculated, highly efficient approach has made us a first choice for many key clients.
