San Diego County Water Authority

Lake Hodges Projects are an important part of the SDCWA Emergency Storage Project intended to increase the amount of water available within the county for use during emergencies. There are three componenets to these projects which include an underground pipeline, a pump station with an inlet-outlet structure, powerline and substation. The pump station will generate up to 40 Mega Watt capcity by the use of pump turbines capturing energy created when the water runs downhill form the Olivenhain Reservoir. This hydroelectric turbine generator will generate supplemental electricity in the facility and will operate year-round, reducing the Water Authority’s energy costs while supplying surplus power to the region. The construction of this facility consisted of the manufacture of 5,800-feet of 121-inch-diameter pipe, 20 MW transformers, generators, electrical equipment, large diameter valves and unit controls.

ON-SITE has provided field support during the installation of mechanical and electrical equipment, and site welding inspection for large diameter pipe.

Parsons Brinkerhoff-San Diego County Water Authority

The San Vicente Projects are an important part of the SDCWA Emergency Storage Project intended to increase the amount of water available within the county for use during emergencies. There are three componenets to these projects which include an Pump Station involving three 7000 HP pumps, Surge Control Facility and reservoir Inetrconnect piping. The construction of these facilities consisted of the manufacture of 5,000-feet of large diameter pipe, large diameter valves, pumps motors and unit controls.

ON-SITE provided site inspection during the installation of the mechanical equipment, instrument and electrical equipment, site welding inspection of large diameter pipe, and start up support.

Parsons Engineering - Metropolitan Water District of Southern California

The Robert A. Skinner Filtration Plant Expansion Project is one of five filtration plants of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which supplies over 520 million gallons of treated water for 2.5 million people. The project consists of the construction of a new Wash Water Reclamation Plant and improvements to Wash water Reclamation Plant No. 2. The work being performed consists of the construction of all new buildings and water treatment structures, wash water reclamation plant, chemical and liquid oxygen plant facilities, cooling water pump station, power sub station and switch gear, yard conduits and piping; modifying plant utilities; connections to existing facilities; testing and commissioning; installation of fabricated steel pipe and fittings, liquid oxygen tanks and vaporizers, ozone generators and related systems, gates and valves, generators and all other appurtenances.

ON-SITE provided site inspection and testing during the installation of the electrical equipment and shop fabrication inspection services of the mechanical and electrical equipment and large diameter steel pipe and fittings associated with this project.

Metropolitan Water District of Southern California

Metropolitan Water Districts OC 88 Project consisted of the fabrication inspection; performance testing and field technical support of (3) each 13,000 GPM, 1500 HP Vertical pumps at locations throughout the United States and Mexico. As an owner representative ON-SITE TECHNICAL SERVICES INC was charged with providing a variety of services in support of the manufacturing process providing expediting of pumps and components through manufacturing and engineering analysis of production problems, which included technical issues associated with welding, coatings and clarifications to assure compliance with the customer specification requirements.

During start up, ON-SITE provided technical support for the new pumps, and supported the rebuild and modifications to the existing pumps.

Berg Construction Management

Alameda Corridor Anaheim Street Pump Station Project was constructed to provide and improve drainage in the area for flood control. Storm water from the newly constructed pump station will be discharged into the Dominguez Channel through an outfall structure.

ON-SITE provided construction inspection services, field technical support, fabrication inspection and engineering support during the performance testing of 2 each 33,000 GPM 700 HP pumps. Fabrication inspection of the engineered equipment such as the pumps was completed at locations in the United States and Mexico. ON-SITE’s engineers supported the installation, start up and testing of the Pump Station.

Kiewit Pacific-Haynes Power Plant

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Palomar Power Plant expansion involved the upgrading and replacement of mechanical and electrical equipment throughout the plant. When the installed 42″ pumps began making cyclic noise and vibrating during operations ON-SITE was contacted to perform engineering analysis of the problems associated with 4 each 45,000 GPM, 750 HP Vertical Pumps. These efforts involved the failure analysis of the pump components, supporting the rebuild efforts and start-up operations of all 4 pump units.
