After that, I worked for two years on the Burrard Thermal Upgrade at Port Moody, BC. The client was BC Hydro, a famous electrical utility corporation. The project was multi-phasal as we first upgraded the six (6) existing gas-fired generators to a co-generation status by adding Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and Pollution Particulate Abatement catalytic trap assemblies. The final phase, for which we completed the design work for but the client did not proceed with (yet) was a set of differing proposals for the replacement of the existing gas-fired generators with four new state-of-art gas-fired co- generation Power Plants with the option of Trigeneration Power Plants to sell-off the excess cooling to the other heavy industry in the area (most likely to the Esso Refinery). The chief engineer leading this specialised team was Robert Willson, head of PHC Hydro; a joint-venture company between Sandwell Engineering (my employer) and Stone Webster Engineering.
