Access Group, Inc., (AAG) has been selected by subcontractor Groupe Lar to provide an access solution to aid in the construction of the Site C Hydro Dam in Bristish Columbia. <\/p>\n

AAG’s scaffolding division Winsafe will custom-build an engineered, suspended platform to operate within the penstocks of the new installation.<\/p>\n

The large steel penstock pipes, each measuring 10 m in diameter and approximately 85 m in length, will regulate the flow of the dam’s water. During the construction phase, the temporary Winsafe system will provide critical and safe access within the penstocks. One of the Winsafe platform’s unique features is that it can travel on an incline up to 45 degrees while adjusting to the curved geometric travel of the penstocks.<\/p>\n

 “Safety is extremely important for this project,” said Stephan Loiselle, Business Development Manager, AAG. “Groupe LAR needed a way to have quick and safe access within the penstocks, but even more importantly, to have quick access out in case of an emergency. We are able to engineer a solution that makes this possible.”<\/p>\n

We are excited to be working on the Site C megaproject. Our recent hydro dam experience with Canmec at Muskrat Falls has given us substantial expertise for developing customized solutions for unique and challenging access applications.<\/p>\n

 AAG will deliver the suspended engineered platform by the end of 2019.<\/p>\n

There are three hydro dams under construction in Canada currently, with Site C being the largest. According to the Site C website, Site C will be a source of clean and renewable electricity for more than 100 years, providing enough energy to power the equivalent of about 450,000 homes per year in B.C. Construction of Site C started in
\nsummer 2015 and will be completed in 2024. Read more about Site C here.<\/a><\/p>\n

PRESA HIDROELECTRICA DEL SITIO C<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Grupo AGF Acceso (GAA) fue seleccionado por el subcontratista Grupo LAR para la concepción y el suministro de una plataforma de acceso destinada al megaproyecto hidroeléctrico Sitio C, situado en Colombia Británica.<\/p>\n

Winsafe, una división de Grupo AGF Acceso, contruirá una plataforma suspendida para facilitar el trabajo en los conductos hidráulicas de esta nueva instalación.<\/p>\n

Estos grandes conductos de acero, de un diámetro de 10 m cada uno y de una longitud de aproximadamente 85 m, regularán el flujo del agua de la presa. Durante la fase de construcción de la presa, la solución de acceso temporal de Winsafe proporcionará un acceso seguro al interior de los conductos. Una de las principales características de la plataforma es que podrá inclinarse hasta 45 grados para adaptarse a la inclinación de los conductos.<\/p>\n

“La seguridad es extremadamente importante para este proyecto”, declaró Stephan Loiselle, Director de Desarrollo de Negocios, GAA. “El Grupo LAR necesitaba tener un acceso rápido y seguro al interior de los conductos forzados; sin embargo, lo más importante es tener un acceso rápido en caso de urgencia. Estamos en condiciones de concebir una solución que lo haga posible.”<\/p>\n

Nos complace trabajar en el megaproyecto del sitio C, nuestra reciente experiencia con una presa hidroeléctrica con Canmec en Muskrat Falls demostró nuestros conocimientos especializados para el desarrollo de soluciones personalizadas para los proyectos de acceso únicos y complejos.<\/p>\n

Grupo AGF Aceso  entregará la plataforma suspendida a finales de 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
