Duke Energy Boiler Outage

Location: Rabbit Hash, KY
Industry: Power Generation

Project Overview

Incorp Industries provided scaffolding support for the U2 East Bend Boiler Fall 2025 outage at Duke Energy’s East Bend Station, a 600-megawatt power plant located near Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. Selected to support both boiler erection and dismantle activities, Incorp partnered closely with TEiC Construction Services (TEiC) to keep scaffold access aligned with outage sequencing and evolving field needs. With sequencing and field conditions shifting during the outage window, consistent coordination was required to keep access aligned to active work fronts.

Objective

The objective was to install and remove scaffold quickly enough to support time-sensitive boiler work while maintaining strict safety expectations and minimizing schedule impacts. Weather delays and compressed timelines increased execution pressure, making readiness, sequencing discipline, and real-time coordination central to daily planning. Incorp’s scope supported safe access for crews working across both erection and dismantle phases.

Application

Incorp maintained an on-site management presence with experienced field leadership to support planning, coordination, and real-time execution. Scaffold designs and build schedules were coordinated to match changing work sequencing, allowing access points to be adjusted as field conditions shifted. Routine communication with TEiC helped confirm priorities, reduce handoff friction, and maintain alignment with evolving field needs. Throughout execution, Incorp emphasized workmanship, responsiveness, and safe access delivery under schedule pressure.

Result

Boiler erection was completed ahead of schedule in 7.5 shifts versus an 11-shift estimate. Boiler dismantle was completed in four shifts, 50% faster than planned. Execution remained incident- and accident-free, and the client recognized Incorp’s quality, responsiveness, and craftsmanship, noting that the team consistently delivered scaffolding support that exceeded expectations and enabled safe, efficient work.
