엔지니어링 자문기업인 NV5 Holdings가 캘리포니아 칼스배드(Carlsbad)에 들어설 포세이돈 담수화 플랜트에 대한 전력공급 지원 서비스의 설계 및 시공을 마쳤다. NV5의 전력그룹감독 Doug Taft는 “3D 고해상도 스캐너 및 고도 3D 모델링 소프트웨어 등 NV5의 최신기술을 사용하는 것은 이번 프로젝트의 성공적인 완성에 핵심이 될 것”이라고 말했다.

NV5는 서부캘리포니아공익기업과 지하시굴(underground trenching), 지상 도관(above-ground conduits) 구조 설계, 특수 지상 볼트시스템 설계에 대해 협업하고 있다.

 

 

 

Engineering consultancy, NV5 Holdings, has completed the design and construction of support services for the power supply to the Poseidon desalination plant in Carlsbad, California.

 

"NV5's use of cutting-edge technology, such as a 3D high definition scanner and advanced 3D modeling software, along with unique and creative design approaches, were key to the successful completion of this project," said power group director at NV5, Doug Taft.

 

NV5 worked with a southern California utility company on underground trenching, structural designs to support above-ground conduits, and a special above-ground vault system design that enabled four 12kV distribution circuits to feed the plant.

 

The consultant took a novel approach to support fibreglass conduits using steel supports in the abandoned Encina storage facility pit.

 

The Poseidon desalination plant project won three major plaudits in recent weeks, including an award from the American Public Works Association (APWA), the 2014 Outstanding Energy Project Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers, and a 2014 Honourable Mention for Public Works from the Construction Management Association of America.
