We are always looking for additional causes to support, from river and lake cleanups to teaching and volunteer opportunities to many others.

Norland HP - Emergency Spillway Gate

Description de projet

Timber Run Hydropower Corporation mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to carry out the design, contracting, fabrication, sourcing,
inspections, installation and commissioning of a roller gate used in the Emergency Spillway at the Norland Hydropower Plant. The project was
delivered through a Turnkey contract model where ECS managed every aspect from the Design Phase until Commissioning and is still involved, to this
day, in the long-term support tasks including periodic inspections and preventative maintenance.

The 4.0 m x 2.5 m gate, complete with embedded gains and sill plate, heating elements, lifting mechanism and actuator, was designed, fabricated,
installed and commissioned under ECS’s supervision. ECS assembled the various specialists required to complete the project and carried out periodic
meetings and check-ins while ensuring that the product respected the owners and regulatory agencies’ requirements.

The agencies involved included the Parcs Canada Agency, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the
Village, and Transport Canada.
