RAPIDE CROCHE HYDRO STATION
Krech Ojard was retained by Kaukauna Utilities to conduct an Underwater Condition Assessment of the Hydro Flow Structure at the Rapide Croche Hydro Station power generation facility.
An engineering dive inspection of the structures, jambs, sills, and sill/bedrock interface revealed concrete spalls, loss of stop-gate guides, and other long term deterioration of flow features.
Krech Ojard Staff met with the owner’s key staff and developed a repair approach for the immediate repair of the stop-gate guides. An Engineering Report was prepared to relay recommendations for other repair and preventive maintenance actions to pre-empt function loss of mission critical elements.
