Construction Management of Small Hydro Projects
A major driving force in the small hydro industry is the corps of private entrepreneurs actively engaged in the development of small hydro projects. While many of these developers are...
Re-Use of Civil Structures Make Norway Hydro Possible
Utilization of abandoned civil facilities made the addition of 1,800 KW to an operating 3,200 KW hydro plant of the City of Norway, Michigan Light and Power feasible. Work consisted of...
Two New Machines for Ultra Low-Head Hydropower
This paper outlines the development of two new types of positive displacement ultra low-head hydropower machines, the AUR Water Engine (AURWE) and the Salford Transverse Oscillator (STO)....
The Institutional Lender's View of Project Insurance Issues
The purposes of this article are to describe the typical insurance requirements of project financing institutions (particularly for projects with an insurable value of less than 20 million)...
A New Turgo Turbine in China
In this paper a special runner bucket of the new Turgo turbine is illustrated and a comparison is made between the characteristics of the new Turgo and the ordinary Turgo turbine with...
Prospects for Hydroelectric Power Development at Corps of Engineer Dams
There are two basic approaches to developing hydroelectric power facilities at Corps dams. The Corps can develop projects at the request of Congress through the authorization process....
Computerized Engineering for the Hydraulic Design of Hydro-Turbine Stay Vanes
To design a turbine stay vane as an integral part of the spiral case/stay vane/wicket gate waterpassage, both the vane geometry and the gate/vane position must be developed and analyzed....
Coordinating Engineering and Environmental Activities in Hydropower Development
This paper reviews the role of hydropower project personnel, particularly the interaction between project management, engineering, and environmental sciences staff in project planning...
Hydropower Contract Conditions for Civil Engineering Works
Norwegian types of contract documents for hydropower construction work - especially the underground parts - have long had the reputation of being flexible as opposed to the traditionally...
Costs of Truck Related Highway Damage to Alaska
The cost of pavement damage to the State of Alaska for truck traffic continues to be a very controversial topic. There is no simple answer since this cost is dependent upon pavement strength,...
Hot Sand for Improved Traction on Icy Roads
Experiments were performed to determine if heating sand prior to spreading it on icy roads would improve the skid resistance of the road more than cold sanding. Tests were made on a full-scale...
A Laboratory Study of Factors Affecting Wetted Snow Roads
A brief review of the the literature concerning the application of water to the surface of snow roads is presented. It is demonstrated that there is no general agreement on the proper...
The CBR Test Applied to Processed and Compacted Snow
The processes used during the past two decades to improve the snow bear a modest resemblance to conventional flexible pavement construction, thus the field CBR (California Bearing Ratio)...
Design Evaluations in Support of Offshore Facilities and Gravel Islands in the Arctic
Development of oil resources in Northern Alaska has involved the design of nearshore and offshore facilities and structures in the Beaufort Sea and Prudhoe Bay in water depths ranging...
Reinforced Roads Bridging Voids
A mathematical model was developed to design a pavement section reinforced with a geotextile or related product to span a void. A full scale field test was conducted to verify the model....
