LOCATION: Douglas County, WA
Overview
The Wells Dam Fish Hatchery Equipment project involved the comprehensive design, fabrication, and installation of specialized aquatic management systems. As a critical infrastructure initiative, Nordholm Companies provided the technical expertise required to handle high-volume water management and fish lifecycle support systems, ensuring the facility meets rigorous environmental and operational standards.
The Challenge
The project at Wells Dam presented significant logistical hurdles, requiring the precise transport and installation of oversized commercial-grade equipment within a strictly confined hydraulic environment. Weight constraints on existing infrastructure and the need for uninterrupted facility operations necessitated a highly specialized lifting strategy and custom-engineered rigging solutions.
The Solution
Custom lifting frames and multi-axle transport were engineered to handle the delicate hatchery equipment. Our technical approach utilized specialized rigging systems to ensure structural integrity throughout the transfer process at Wells Dam.
Equipment Used
Industrial Water Pumps
High-efficiency submersible pumps designed for continuous operation in hatchery environments, featuring corrosion-resistant components.
Aeration Systems
Advanced Dissolved Oxygen management systems providing precision gas injection to ensure optimal water quality parameters.
Filtration Units
Micro-screen drum filters for efficient solids removal, capable of handling high-volume flow rates with minimal maintenance requirements.
