Description

Description

The project consists of a complete replacement of the 3 turbine-generator groups at Ruskin Dam in British Columbia. A new cooling system is implemented. It requires ventilation openings in the concrete slabs. These ought to be covered with grating platforms onto a steel structure. The concrete foundations of the generators were inspected and validated as part of this mandate. The turbine draft tubes were also refurbished. The eroded concrete was redone to match the original profile.
