EnFlux Engineering Ltd. was mandated to design a new penstock and the corresponding supporting structures at a Hydropower Facility in USA. EnFlux’s team prepared detailed designs and specifications for the penstock based on the requirements of the client as well as the site conditions. The design package also included specification of components required for the safe operation of the penstock. EnFlux also performed a transient analysis to analyze and recommend the fail-safe operations in the system.
Highlights
Detailed design of the buried and exposed penstock and support structures,
Transient analysis to determine valve timing considering the condition of existing penstocks,
Design of surge protection means,
Coordination with other disciplines for design,
Design of manifolds, specialty joints and access hatches as needed,
Preparation of construction drawings and design basis report for the project for desing scope, and
Permitting support for new development.
