EnFlux Engineering Ltd. designed a 70 inch blind flange that was installed on the inlet piping upstream of one of the Turbine Inlet Valves at the Upper Lillooet Generating Station. The flange was required to perform necessary maintence on a Turbine Inlet Valve (TIV) and allowed for the plant to return to operation using the remaining units. EnFlux provided the design specifications of the flange (Material Specifications, Flange Thickness, surface finishes, and torques for bolting), prepared detailed construction drawings and provided fabrication and installation support throughout the project.
