SCOPE OF WORK

C&W was approached by the SONGS decommisioning team to assist them in permanently plugging the Unit 1 intake and discharge conduits. Working in conjunction with SONGS personnel, C&W developed and engineered a method to remove piping obstruction and install a concrete plug at the offshore side of the plant gates.

GREEN MOUNTAIN POWER PLANT - TAILRACE STOPLOG GUIDE REPAIRS

Kremmling, CO

 

2006

 

SCOPE OF WORK

C&W mobilized to the site in June and set up scaffolding and a dive platform from which to conduct operations. The deteriorating stoplog guides at the powerplant were cut and chipped to sound concrete before rebar repair and placement of concrete and grout forms. 17' tall steel grout forms and 12' header plates were fabricated in Denver and transported to the site, where they were hoisted in place and fastened with over 100 linear feet of wet welding. Concrete and grout were poured and finished to specifications. Through the use of silt curtains and environmentally conscious work practices, C&W protected the Blue River from turbidity caused by construction activities.
