Hydropower is one of the oldest and largest sources of renewable energy. It accounts for 37% of total U.S. renewable electricity generation and about 7% of total U.S. electricity generation. Reliability and up-time are critically important. Hydro environments present unique challenges for protective coatings (i.e. erosive flows, hydraulic pressures and corrosive environments).
Surface preparation and application methods require complex rigging/support systems, difficult environmental conditions and permit-required confined spaces. There are no substitutes for knowledge and experience when facing unique challenges in the hydropower industry.
Coblaco has provided industry leading solutions in the Hydropower industry for more than 40 years. From intakes, penstocks, turbines, scroll cases, generators and powerhouses and everything in-between, there are few project types and challenges we’ve not seen first-hand, enabling us to quickly innovate solutions and immediately problem-solve for our clients.
