Analyst Comments on Beacon Falls Project

“If final approval is granted we estimate the total value of this project to be ~$500mn, split between $200mn in equipment revenue and $300mn in service revenue. The project will likely be in phases with construction beginning by 2Q16 and providing a steady order flow through mid-2018.”  Street Insider
