Diving Into Philadelphia's Oldest Working Power Plant
Feb 22, 2026 #CommercialDiving #Philadelphia #PowerPlantThe Future of Philadelphia’s Energy: Diving Inside the Schuylkill Station Power Plant.
Philadelphia’s oldest power plant is undergoing a massive transformation. In this video, we go behind the scenes at the historic Schuylkill Station to explore the evolution of its massive boilers and the plant’s ambitious mission to go carbon neutral by 2030. As a major contributor to the Philadelphia Steam Loop, this facility provides essential heating and energy to the city. But the transition to high-efficiency electric boilers comes with a catch: these modern systems are incredibly sensitive to sediment. That’s where commercial diving comes in.
Join me as we discuss:
The History of Schuylkill Station: From coal to a greener future.
The Philly Steam Loop: How this massive network heats the city.
Carbon Neutral 2030: The new electric boilers.
Commercial Diving’s Role: Why underwater maintenance is now more critical than ever to prevent sediment damage and system failure.
