Nh Penstock Pipeline Replaced With Fiberglass Pipe

摘要

Meandering through New Hampshire's White Mountains, a large wooden penstock pipeline served as the main water supply for a local hydro facility, Jackman Station. The facility is fed by the Franklin Pierce Reservoir, which was created by the hydro facility's dam and surrounding earthen dikes. The water elevation in the reservoir is managed according to spring run-off.rnPublic Service of New Hampshire (PSNH), the Granite State's largest electric utility, serves more than 475,000 homes and businesses. PSNH's power generation facilities consist of nine hydroelectric plants, including the Jackman Hydro station, which was built in 1926. This facility, located in Hillsborough, has been serving the area for years, but the penstock was approaching the end of its service life.
