Machining Innovations Improve Hydro power's Bottom Line

摘要

Machining, a trade that specializes in cutting materials to achieve a specific geometry, is one of the most important aspects in the rehabilitation of hydropower projects. It's an evolving industry, as new techniques and technologies to shape, bore, and drill metal are realized to improve the efficiency and lifespan of a project. Hydro Review examined some of the modern machining techniques and technologies being used to rehabilitate North America's aging fleet of hydropower projects. The following are a few examples of some of the machining challenges power producers and service providers are facing and the innovative solutions being used to overcome those obstacles.
