Relevant Project Experience
Carpenters Road Lock - KGAL
Retained by Halcrow to design a pair of replacement radial gates 7m span x 3.8m deep and also design a new winch operating system for the gates. The project is situated in the Olympic park adjacent to the main stadium and is due to become part of the legacy after the Olympics in 2012. The design had to take into account high impact loads from river traffic. Heavy duty spring loaded fenders were designed to accommodate this.
Nottingham Trent Flood Alleviation Scheme - KGAL
Retained by Black & Veatch to survey, design and produce manufacturing drawings for a new set of hydraulically powered mitre gates on the Erewash-Trent Canal at Sawley and motorise a retractable footbridge behind the gates to allow personnel to cross the canal to operate the gates. The project also required design and detailing for the addition of hydraulic cylinders to the existing mitre floodgates at the Meadow Lane site on the Beeston Canal.
Isle of Axholme Flood Risk Management Strategy - KGAL
Retained by Black & Veatch to carry out desktop studies and inspections on pumping stations in the Isle of Axholme. Produced a full report on existing asset information, inspection reports and developed a residual life programme for all the pumping stations.
Hull Tidal Surge Barrier - KGAL
Carried out full mechanical survey on behalf of the Environment Agency on the barrier to assess the condition of paint, mechanical parts etc. Produced a full report on the survey including recommendations on how to carry out refurbishment.
Brede Sluice - KGAL
Retained by Halcrow Group Limited to carry out a feasibility and options report on a set of Mitre Gates at Rye Sussex, an outline design and costs were then produced for the preferred option.
Sutton Harbour - KGAL
Retained by Taylor & Sons to produce manufacturing drawings for two sets of replacement sector gates and to design temporary works for erection of the gates. These temporary works included guides and bulkheads to isolate the gate recesses from the lock. Also to design an erection system for placing sill seal faces accurately in position underwater by divers.
Moor Lane Offtake - KGAL
Retained by Taylor & Sons to design and produce manufacturing drawings for new operating gear at Moor Lane Offtake tilting gate near Staines. The old hydraulic ram system was replaced by an electric actuator operated rope winch system.
Hull Marina Report & Refurbishment - KGAL
Retained by British Waterways to carry out an inspection and produce a report on the Hull Marina Sector Gates. Advised on the extent of refurbishment that was required on the gates.
Cley Mitre Gate Condition Report - KGAL
Retained by Halcrow Group Limited to carry out a condition report on a set of Mitre Gates and also a Vertical Lift Gate with Flap Valves. Supervised the refurbishment of the Mitre Gate pintels.
Walcot Mitre Gate - KGAL
Retained by the Taylor & Sons to design and produce manufacturing drawings for a set of Mitre Gates to protect a pumping station and surrounding land from flooding at high water levels. The gates were designed to BS 5950.
Cley Stoplogs - KGAL
Retained by the Halcrow Group Limited to design and produce manufacturing drawings for a set of stoplogs to allow maintenance to be carried out on existing Mitre Gates. The logs were designed to BS 5950.
Banimboola Power Station, Australia - GE Energy UK Ltd
Produced Operating & Maintenance manuals for Southern Hydro for the Intake Gates, Draft Tube Gates and Trash Cleaning Machine on the Banimboola Power Station. Erection and commissioning documents were also produced for inclusion in the manuals.
Esti HEPP Emergency Wheel Gate - GE Energy UK Ltd
Working for AES Panama designed to DIN 19704 one 6m span x 5.5m high hydraulically operated wheel gate for emergency closure of the intake canal. The design took into account a horizontal earthquake load of 0.23g based on the USBR formula. The main functions of the gate were to close the canal if problems arose with the upstream regulator gate, allow maintenance of regulator gate and to be able to crack open 1.5m to allow filling of void between wheel gate and regulator radial gate before opening under balanced conditions. Produced a conceptual drawing to enable detailed drawings to be made in a low cost country.
Esti HEPP Intake Screens - GE Energy UK Ltd
Designed 2 sets of intake screens 6m span x 5m high and 2 sets 6m span x 9m high. All screens were designed with a 3m differential head to DIN 19704 with bar buckling stress calculated to the USBR manual. The screens were designed to allow them to be lifted out by mobile crane and manually cleaned. The function of the screens is to prevent debris passing into the downstream waterway whilst the turbine is operating. Produced conceptual drawings to enable detail drawings to be made in a low cost country.
Nathpa Jhakri Power Station, India - GE Energy UK Ltd
Produced conceptual and detail drawings on all sections of the project. Assisted in the production of design calculations, Operating & Maintenance manuals and erection procedures.
Ffestiniog - GE Energy UK Ltd
Produced a Preventative Maintenance manual for the Bulkhead and Stoney Roller gates for First Hydro at Ffestiniog power station. These were written with reference to previous site surveys.
Bayano HEPP Intake Gate - GE Energy UK Ltd
Investigated and designed a 5.6m span x 6m high with 32m head of water Intake Wheel Gate for AES Panama. Din 19704 was used as the design standard. Two units had been commissioned in the 1970's at this station and this gate was for a third unit to work along side them. The gate was of the same size as the previous two but modern design methods and materials meant a simpler more easily maintained gate design was possible. A conceptual drawing was produced to allow detailed drawing to be carried out in a low cost country.
Heysham Power Station - GE Energy UK Ltd
Undertook an inspection of seized dogging arrangement on outfall gates at Heysham Nuclear Power Station. Investigated use of different materials to cut down the effects of marine environment and electrolytic action.
Lednock Hydro Station - GE Energy UK Ltd
Designed new Draft Tube gates and Lifting Structure for the existing hydro station at Lednock Scotland.
Glasson Dock - Kvaerner Boving Ltd
Designed two small, hinged gates to connect the new flood defence wall with the extended flap gate at Glasson dock. This work was carried out in conjunction with the Environment Agency.
Glenmoriston - Kvaerner Boving Ltd
Surveyed the Intake and Spillway areas of the power station and prepared a bid for the gate refurbishment.
Barking Reach Power Station - Kvaerner Boving Ltd
Designed electrically operated Wheel gates, Stoplogs and Lifting Beam. Produced detailed drawings and Operating & Maintenance manuals for all items.
Benfleet Flap Gate - Boving Newton Chambers
Surveyed the Benfleet flood control flap gates and designed a steady roller to prevent the lifting chain jumping the sprocket during operation.
