Alstom Power ramps up its presence in North America
Excellent infrastructure and strategic locationthe new Chattanooga manufacturing and engineering site benefits from excellent road networks, rail links, and direct access to the Us inland waterways system. it features a barge dock with lifting capacity up to 1,000 tons, well suited to shipping large and heavy products manufactured in Chattanooga. the Chattanooga manufacturing and engineering site will deliver the same high standards of quality and production efficiency for which Alstom is world-renowned.
Advanced technology manufacturing and engineering sitethe facility has the capacity to manufacture capital-intensive components with high-technology content for nuclear, coal, and gas power plants (both new and retrofit), and to assemble and test all products using the most up-to-date high-precision machine tools available today. in fact, the Chattanooga manufacturing and engineering site will have the capacity to manufacture the world’s largest turbines. the Chattanooga site will work in close cooperation with its sister site in morelia, mexico, which is responsible for manufacturing diaphragms, blades and other power plant components.the combined local nAFtA content will be around 80%.
Alstom Power has opened a new manufacturing and engineering facility in Chattanooga, on the banks of the Tennessee river, to serve both new and retrofit equipment markets in North America. From the Chattanooga site, we can ship our high-technology components directly to our customers and address the growing needs of the power market.
ExelonExelon Corporation, one of the largest energy companies in the USA, has contracted Alstom to supply steam turbine retrofits at three of its nuclear power plant sites. The retrofits will increase output by around 40 MW per unit, increase operational efficiency and improve plant reliability. The new components will be manufactured in Alstom’s plants in Birr (Switzerland) and Chattanooga.
UniStarAlstom is to supply Baltimore-based UniStar Nuclear Energy, a joint venture between Constellation Energy and EDF, with a minimum of four turbines generators for a planned fleet of advanced-design nuclear power plants in the United States. The Chattanooga facility will play a key role in manufacturing, assembling, and delivering key components of steam turbine, generator and related equipment.

ChattanoogaFacts and Figures
Building a sustainable factory includes energy efficient design -skylights, insulated siding, process heat recovery- which leads to a 35% reduction in building energy consumption.
The new engineering facility will broaden Alstom’s design engineering resources in North America to support Alstom’s manufacturing growth and help develop a competitive local supply base.

As a global leader in power technology, Alstom has extensive experience in ramping up engineering capabilities in new locations and establishing processes to integrate engineering work performed at different locations all over the world. recent experiences include new engineering centers in China, india and Brazil.
we are applying proven methods to build our engineering center in Chattanooga.Following one of the best practices of knowledge transfer in the industry, we are applying proven methods to build our engineering center in Chattanooga, from the recruitment of engineers with the right skills set, to on-the-job training in europe.several experienced engineers from Alstom’s european facilities have been based in Chattanooga to facilitate the ramp-up.
As well, a number of Us engineers have been sent to europe for on-the-job training, some for a few months, others for a couple of years. the Chattanooga engineering center is an integral part of Alstom’s global engineering network and is equipped with specific expertise in Us industrial standards.
our customers in north America will benefit from Alstom’s extensive north American supply scope, as well as local expertise and support.
• Skylights cover 75% of the occupied space, reducing electricity consumption
• Heat generated from our manufacturing process will supplement the hVAC*, saving energy
• Captured rain water will irrigate the landscaping. More than 50% of the site, other than the building footprint, will be returned to green
• The site promotes low-emission transportation with bicycle racks, preferential parking for low emission vehicles and public transportation access
recycling from the Chattanooga site also benefited the local community. A number of reusable materials (doors, windows, AC units, etc.), as well as pre-engineered buildings, have been donated to local institutions.
Alstom’s goal is to build its facility to meet the Us green Building Council’s standards for leeD (leadership in energy & environmental Design) gold certification.
A sustainable facilityFrom design to final completion, environmental sustainability is a priority for the new Chattanooga plant. the leeD certification criteria include energy and water efficiency, material recycling, indoor air quality and low emission transportation. the facility will save 35% in energy use thanks to energy-efficient features. Environmentally sustainable design and construction have lasting andfar-reaching benefits:• Recycled concrete debris was used in
new road construction
* heat Ventilation Air Conditioning system
