Some of our past mechanical FEA projects include:
PG&E Stanislaus Power Tunnel - Integrated Services - Hydraulics
Mechanical FEA
Location:
Tuolumne County, California
Client:
Intake Screens, Inc.
General Contractor:
Syblon Reid
ESI provided structural/mechanical design and finite element analysis (FEA) for a six unit self-cleaning fish screen and track installation in central California. The intake screens were one of the crucial components to this hydropower generation project by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).
Signed and sealed design calculation submittals included the steel tracks and anchorage, stainless steel screens and manifolds, winch system supports, wire ropes, and wheel assemblies.
