Z--McNary Dam Fish Pump #2 Repair

Construction Project: McNary Dam Fish Pump #2 Repair, Umatilla, Oregon The fishpump is rated at 2853 HP and is 14 feet in diameter at the centerline of its variable pitched blades. Fabricate and replace three bearing housings, bearings, and shaft journals below the motor. Bearing materials are both Babbitt and composite. For scale purposes, the bearing housings are 24 to 32 inches in diameter and 18 inches tall. The pump shaft nominal diameter is 15 inches and it is 30-40 feet long. It is anticipated that partial disassembly of the pump will be required in order to access the journal locations of the shafts. The Contractor will be required to machine all stainless journals and reference surfaces concentric with each other in accordance with applicable IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standards. The finish of the journals is 32 RMS. The pump is located in a confined space. The Contractor will supply pump(s) and pump out leakage in order to dewater the space for access. The Contractor will determine the best method of machining, of erecting temporary work platforms, and for removing components necessary for machining. Machine-in-place machinery will be required to attach and rotate around the stationary shaft. The Contractor will measure as-is condition of alignment, align all pump components in accordance with IEEE standards, and establish baseline vibration measurements upon complete reassembly. Fabricate new steel stay vane for pump. Electrical work is limited to sensor and cabling replacement and to upgrading monitoring and control circuits and devices. The period of performance is anticipated to be 1 March 2015 through 1 September 2015.
