With over 9,000 lineal feet of critical penstock addressed, the V-WrapTM Carbon Fiber System was selected for renewal at locations that were challenging and required a trenchless fully structural upgrade with a 50-year design life. This project is a powerful example of how innovative products can improve the management of your penstock and pipeline assets. | | | | | | | | | | | A shaft sleeve restores or modifies proper outside shaft journal diameters. Typical installation requires a sleeve designed to be bolted or welded together. Hydro Tech's new and unique split-sleeve design is factory-machined to exact dimensions for the required inside shrink fit and final outside diameter. Heated for installation, once cooled, it provides an exact interference fit to the shaft with a polished journal surface, eliminating the requirement for welding and field machining. | | | | | | | | | | | | The U.S. Trade and Development Agency announced it has awarded a grant to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) for a feasibility study to support the development of a grid-connected pumped storage hydropower (PSH) plant at Vajiralongkorn Dam in western Thailand.
