Floating Utilities ~ Waller Marine's Power Barges

Very interesting to see these Waller Marine-built power barges...
"...two 300' x 100' barges, each equipped with GE 7FA turbines, that have a combined power generating capacity in excess of 340 MW of electricity. [...] launched in 180 days. Waller Marine designed and managed the construction of the barges, along with the installation of the power plants on the barges, utilizing over 900 men working in shifts, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. This video shows the highlights and progress of the construction, the launch of the barges and their subsequent movement by tug and heavy lift vessel."
FYI, here's inside of the GE 7FA's...
