Cranberry Point Energy Storage is now the largest stand-alone battery system on New England’s grid. We served as the engineer-procure-construct (EPC) contractor for Plus Power's 150-MW/300-MWh facility, installing 82 Tesla Megapack 2 XL battery enclosures and managing a 115-kV substation interconnection that supports a key transmission line serving the Boston area.

At Burns & McDonnell, we’re all about building connections on project sites, in our communities — and even on gameday. First stop, the Burns & McDonnell tailgate, always a great place to connect with colleagues and clients before the game. As the official engineering and construction partner of the Kansas City Chiefs, it’s fun to see our work and our community come together in moments like this. When I’m not cheering on the home team, our teams are dedicated to designing and building the infrastructure that keeps airports and airlines moving that connects cities and people across the country. Feeling grateful for the people, the partnerships and the game day spirit that bring us together. #Aviation #BurnsMcDonnellChiefs #BuildTheHype

When new seismic regulations emerged during design, the team behind Portland International Airport's jet fuel facility quickly pivoted. The resulting “tank in a bucket” concept turned a major challenge into a model for boosting resilience, reducing costs and improving safety at the site and for guiding future fuel facility designs along Oregon’s waterways. Learn more about how PDX Fuel advanced seismic stability. https://hubs.li/Q03XmGxp0 #Aviation #Airports #EnergyResilience #AviationFuel

With space companies accelerating missions across new regions and frontiers, safety standards are evolving fast, and spaceports need a solid foundation to launch from. That’s where NFPA 461 comes in. This new standard fills a critical gap in fire protection and life safety guidance, covering everything from hypergolic propellants to fueling operations to legacy launch pad retrofits. See how this new rule is shaping the next generation of spaceports. https://hubs.li/Q03SHRny0 #Aerospace #Space #FireProtection

FERC Order 881 deadlines start as soon as April 2026, and meeting them takes planning. Implementing hourly ambient-adjusted ratings can take up to a year, plus additional time for bids and reviews. As utilities lock in 2026 budgets, it’s time to account for compliance costs. Our team built FaciliRate to model assets, calculate 10-day look-ahead ratings and streamline audits so transmission operators can stay on schedule. https://hubs.li/Q03VStrm0 #Ferc881 #Utilities
