Is Hoover Dam your design temple?

September 21, 2011 by


You might be an engineer if … your wristwatch has more computing power than a 486DX2-50 processor, but you’re definitely an engineer if Hoover Dam is your design temple.

Hoover Dam is the destination for the POWER-GEN International 2011 tech tour.

The awesome power of Hoover Dam awaits those who admire this National Historic Landmark. Named one of the Top 10 Construction Achievements of the 20th Century, the past 75 years have seen the dam become one of the most celebrated monuments in America.


Did you know that:

      • The dam and powerplant  are operated and maintained by the US Bureau of Reclamation.
      • There are 17 main turbines in powerplant.
      • The original turbines were all replaced during an upgrade program between 1986 and 1993.
      • The plant has a nameplate capacity of 2,074,000 kilowatts.
      • The power generation part of the plant was completed in 1961.
      • There are fifteen 178000 HP, one 100000 HP, and one 86000 HP Francis-type vertical hydraulic turbines.
      • There are thirteen 130000 kW, two 127 kW, one 61500 kW, and one 68500 kW generators.
      • All machines are operated at 60 cycles.
      • There are also two 2400 kW station-service units driven by Pelton water wheels. These provide electrical energy for lights and for operating cranes, pumps, motors, compressors, and other electrical equipment within the dam and powerplant.

This year there are two tech tours available during POWER-GEN International: Sunday and Monday, December 11 and 12 for $60. Space is limited, register before November 18. (Sorry, security doesn’t allow “day of” registrations.)
