It’s March 20—day 182 for the Louis Berger temporary power mission in Puerto Rico. At peak, the company had installed more than 1,600 generators. On this date, there are still 869 generators requiring about 40,000 gallons of diesel fuel daily, supplying power to hospitals, water pump stations and even entire towns.
The mission far surpasses any previous temporary power mission assigned by the Corps of Engineers. Following Hurricane Irma, the Corps installed 50 generators in Florida.
