Charlotte, NC. (November 7, 2023) – Sundt Construction’s Industrial Group was recently selected by Dominion Energy as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the Darbytown Storage Pilot project where Dominion Energy will be evaluating two different non-lithium battery storage technologies. The project will be at the existing Darbytown Power Station located in Richmond, Virginia. The project will have a total power output of approximately 9 megawatts.
“We’re thrilled to have been chosen by Dominion Energy and to continue honing Sundt’s expertise in this market,” said Patrick Bulman, a regional manager in the Southeast for Sundt’s Industrial Group. “This pilot project utilizes innovative and emerging technologies in both renewables and power generation.”
Sundt will provide turn-key project delivery, from detailed engineering through performance testing and turnover. The team will work closely with an engineering partner to prepare detailed design, procure equipment, including battery energy storage systems, and construct the project, including the installation, commissioning and testing of the battery systems.
Sundt’s history in the Southeast dates back more than 50 years. Some of the firm’s notable area landmarks include Launch Pad 39A at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, where NASA first launched U.S. astronauts into space, and the concrete core of One Atlantic Center in Atlanta, Georgia built using an innovative “slipform” technique pioneered by Sundt and later used all over the country.
