PAST PROJECTS
Horizontal Hydro Turbine and Headgate Installation – Parry Sound
An Embertech team of skilled machinists, millwrights and welders, along with other contractors, successfully completed the turbine and install of three of the water control gatesin the fall of 2018.
The project site was familiar - Embertech had been maintaining the original facility for over 20 years. But this was a whole new installation, and Embertech took on the project with great enthusiasm calling on their ample talent, experience and resourcefulness.
Embertech successfully completed installation and precise alignment of the turbine, shaft and generator to extraordinary tolerance and meeting the desired timelines of the overall construction schedule.
Extraordinary Collaboration
Embertech was one of approximately 15 different teams with a role in the broader project, calling on exceptional collaboration and organization.
One of the challenges was putting the embedded steel transition pieces into place in the construction environment prior to the building and other components being assembled. But the Embertech team executed the work seamlessly.
Embertech designed and fabricated both the intake and tailrace gates, and a bypass gate through the dam for excess water flows.
Control gate test fit.
To hoist the massive 160,000-pound generator assembly with a single lift meant bringing an 850-tonne crane to the job site.
Embertech completed the installation of the draft tubes with a level of skill and expertise that enabled the construction schedule to stay on track, on schedule without any issues or concerns.
