process equipment. In an effort to modernize the plant, many of its facilities were completely or partially torn down and replaced. Kerry was involved in various site
improvements including installation of a new chemical
building, new blower room, water treatment building,
new 4,160v transformer and switchgear. As Electrical
General Foreman, Kerry oversaw the installation of all new 4,160V high voltage Transformers and Switchgear, new
MCC and Scada room, new Actiflow bldg., new chemical
bldg., Ozone generator and new Blower bldg. He was
responsible for overseeing all aspects of the project from planning to implementation. He allocated resources,
supervised onsite personnel and subcontractors, and
interfaced with project inspectors, contractors, 3rd party testing, architects, engineers, City and County officials, and clients. Kerry maintained the highest standards in quality assurance of workmanship to adhere to contract plans
and specifications. as well as adherence to on-site safety requirements.

New overhead lines to PG&E substation.
ALUM ROCK/SANTA CLARA BUS RAPID TRANSIT
($18.5M); Santa Clara Valley Transport Authority; Electrical General Foreman. The Alum Rock/Santa Clara Bus Rapid
Transit Project provides over seven miles of limited-stop rapid transit service through San Jose. Kerry was involved in upgrading traffic signals and installing new bus shelters.
TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE ($1.5M); CLIENT?; Electrical
General Foreman. For this project, Kerry conducted site wide improvements including the installation of new
4,160V Transformers sitewide, 2 MW of standby power,
switchgear and ATS system. Replacement of 480v/120v
Switchboards and Panelboards.
RUSSELL CITY ENERGY CENTER; CLIENT?; Electrical
General Foreman. The Russell City Energy Center is a
new 635-megawatt power plant with two 200-megawatt
turbine generators at 15kv and one 235-megawatt
steam turbine generator at 18kv with transformers to
increase voltage to 230kv. Auxiliary equipment motors
are 4,160v. The Russell City plant brings much-needed
energy capacity to western Alameda County and the San
Francisco peninsula. The facility is capable of serving the needs of 600,000 households. The energy center, which
uses natural gas for fuel, represents a greater than 90 percent reduction of emissions and is 40 percent more fuel efficient than older, fossil-fueled generating facilities in the Bay Area. Russell City Energy Center is also the nation’s first power plant to receive a federal air permit that
includes a voluntary limit on greenhouse gas emissions.
The Russell City Energy Center treats effluent water from the local sanitation district for use as cooling water within the plant. It is also a zero liquid discharge plant, further reducing its impact on the environment.
