The utility owns and operates a cogenerating power plant, providing electricity and drinking water to the City of Hibbing, Minnesota, and surrounding areas. It hired Barr in 2011 to provide a variety of routine electrical, controls, and instrumentation services to support its operation.
Barr’s work has included investigative services, design, start-up and commissioning, troubleshooting, and emergency call-out support. Due to limited internal engineering staff, we provide additional support with PLC and HMI programming, electrical and controls engineering, mechanical engineering of process and utilities distribution systems, and civil engineering for water-source and -distribution systems.
