Zachry of San Antonio, Texas, topped Southeast Construction's design-build contractor list with $378 million in project revenue in 2008, and since then the company has added to its portfolio.
Zachry, in a joint venture with Black and Veatch of Kansas City, Mo., began working on units one and two at the $2.1-billion West County Energy Center for Florida Power & Light of Juno in April 2007, and later it picked up the contract for Unit 3 at the combined-cycle plant. Also in 2007, Zachry began work on an air-quality-control project at Progress Energy’s Crystal River plant in partnership with Burns & McDonnell of Kansas City, Mo. The project is part of a more than $1.3-billion effort by Progress Energy to meet federal environmental rules.
