Working as a sub-contractor for Q&D Construction (Sparks, NV), Advanced Marine was responsible for completing the Tailrace Replacement portion of the project.
Working in very challenging Truckee River winter conditions, Advanced Marine successfully rehabilitated the heavily scoured 100+ year old concrete foundation underwater, installed (2) new 50 inch diameter steel draft tubes, and helped to restore the hydroelectric facility to it’s designed output capacity.
