Check this out! To support continued maintenance of the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Mississippi, Prairie performed high resolution lidar scans of the plant’s hydraulic turbine control valve areas. Models were developed from the scans to assist in the replacement of flexible control valve hoses as well as for the navigation and placement of two 60-inch strainers. Obtaining the credentials that allow unescorted access to a nuclear plant requires hours of training and testing, which must be renewed annually. The areas of the plant being surveyed involved multiple floor elevations that are sealed from one another and often highly congested with infrastructure. The data collected was processed into a plant coordinate system which could be used in the future for similar projects. #nuclearpower #nuclear #engineering #engineeringsolutions #utilities #utilitiesindustry #saftey
