WESTINGHOUSE AND BIGGE SIGN A TEAMING AGREEMENT TO SERVICE NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

SAN LEANDRO, Calif., March 26, 2004- Westinghouse Electric Company and Bigge Power Constructors have signed a teaming agreement for the development and execution of solutions to replace Reactor Vessel Closure Heads (RVCH) at nuclear power plants.

Under the terms of the agreement, Bigge will provide design, fabrication, assembly and operation of systems used for RVCH replacement and Head Assembly Upgrade at various nuclear power plant sites throughout the United States.  

“The overall goal of this agreement is to leverage the strengths of both companies to form a strong project team and provide a seamless solution to the end client,” said Weston Settlemier, President of Bigge.  This agreement with Westinghouse will allow Bigge to further expand upon our three very successful RVCH replacements completed in 2003.  Under this agreement, Bigge has already begun work on seven (7) RVCH replacement projects.
