A NEW HORIZON

Clean energy and electrical grid support are closer than ever

The Haynes Power Generating Station dismantling of Units 3, 4, 5 and 6 is nearly finished.

The completion of this important project clears the way for future clean energy generation planning and supporting plant and grid reliability.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), its contractor TRC Solutions and their subcontractors have carefully and successfully removed all above-ground power unit structures, boilers, turbines and stacks piece by piece and cleared the site of the former units.

Contractors did the dismantling work smoothly, safely and, for the most part, with few incidents or complaints from the community.

This project was an engineered demolition, planned and conducted by LADWP in close collaboration with the contractors at every step in the process.

Exhaustive and redundant safety measures and round-the-clock noise, dust and vibration monitoring protected workers and the community.

Contractors are now completing below-grade removals at Units 3-4, backfilling and grading the site of the former units.

The project is expected to be substanially completed in February, followed by final completion a few months after.

LADWP thanks the Golden Rain Foundation, Mutual leadership and the community as a whole. It appreciates residents’ patience, understanding and cooperation throughout the project.

“It has been mission-critical for us to be a good neighbor to Leisure World and the surrounding community by always keeping you informed and providing prompt and complete responses to any questions, concerns or issues,” said Wing Wong, LADWP’s project manager. “We just would not consider this project a success without good community relations and support.”

LADWP will continue to supply periodic updates on the dismantling work to LW residents. The Project Information Line at 800-531-6638 will remain active until February.
