New Installation

Forrest Kerr Hydroelectric, 195-megawatt project was the largest run-of-the-river power plant in North America of its time. TurbinePROs Rotating Equipment Services (R.E.S.) was awarded the contract to install nine Andritz hydro turbines which then led to AltaGas recieving the Clean Energy Project Excellence Award!

The project is set in a remote area at the edge of the river, capturing the immense energy of the rivers natural flow and elevation drop to produce and deliver clean renewable power.

TurbinePROs was chosen for their expertise in developing procedures for installation, workforce managements, and specialized turbine tools that include a custom 2.5 x 20 m tool container, 2.5 x 3 m rigging container, hydraulic lamina drill, and hydraulic wrench sets.

 “A project like this takes a lot of specialized tools; it also takes a lot of expert manpower. We worked closely with business agents to develop the millwright workforce within just three (3) weeks of award notice.”
