Dredging:

Finger Lakes was contracted to remove 400 Cubic yards of material blocking the intake of a powerhouse. This project used diver’s to pump the material away. The water was filtering though specialty designed bags placed inside multiple dumpsters. The retuning water was monitored for elevated turbidity levels to conform to DEC permitting. After dewatering and passing the paint filter test, the dumpsters were removed and sent to the landfill.

Unit 3 Gates A and B:

Finger Lakes teamed up with another contractor to install 2 new gates including new guides. Finger Lakes was responsible for installation of and alignment of the guides. This project required saw cutting and widening of the original gate guides, then installing new stainless steel guides and lentils at each opening. After installation, the open areas of the guides and lentils were grouted in place. Each gate was approximately 10’ wide by 12’tall.
