Lamar Energy Plant

Our Solution

Hayter Engineering has enjoyed an on-going relationship with the Lamar Energy Plant since 1998. The plant is operated by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources. This 1,000-megawatt combined- cycle, natural gas-fired power plant operates approximately 16 hours every day, and when operating at full power generates enough electricity for about 1 million homes.

Projects that Hayter Engineering Performed:

Route Study – the initial work for the new energy plant in Paris began with a route study for alternate pipeline routes and surveying.

30” Raw Water Transmission Main – this is an 8 mile pipeline from the City of Paris Water Treatment Plant near Lake Crook to the Lamar Energy Plant which is located on South Loop 286.

Raw Water Pumping/Vertical Turbine Pumps – a new raw water pump station was built at the power plant and three vertical turbine pumps were installed at the City of Paris Water Treatment Plant to serve the power plant.

Sanitary Sewer Force Main and Cooling Tower Blowdown Wastewater – 4” class 200 PVC sanitary force main and 12” DR 14 PVC cooling tower blowdown.

Expansion Survey – preliminary pipeline route which included cross section surveys, staking and GPS coordinates from Pat Mayse Lake to Lamar Energy Center.

Stormwater Detention Basin Modification – design modifications to the existing detention basin to allow retention of flows and subsequent piping to the plant outfall.

20” Raw Water Pipeline to Daisy Dairy – This project extended a 20” raw water line about 4 miles from the NextEra power generation plant near Paris to Daisy Farms. This project also included metering facilities, a booster pump station, and controls designed to add NextEra wastewater discharges to the new pipeline in the future.
