For our March tour our group visited Redmond’s 4 million gallon concrete reservoir. 983 foot deep well, 4-million gallon pre-stressed, post tensioned concrete reservoir and 7,000 gpm booster pump station. Analysis and design was provided by DN Tanks and Murraysmith. This was an impressive sophisticated design. Thank you to Mike Caccavano, Redmond City Engineering for help putting this one together!

 

The 2021 PEO state conference had 84 attendees. For those that were able to attend know that this was a well worth the price of admission. Thank you to all of the committee organizers and the presenters to make this year’s conference a success.

Description

The iHydrant® product line enables utilities to remotely monitor the pressure and temperature of their transmission and distribution system by utilizing dry and wet barrel hydrants. This presentation will discuss the customer benefits and return on investment seen while using this remote technology, evaluate real world case studies and discuss future technology, including leak detection, that are currently in development. 

Please send me (or the Central Oregon Board) your ideas for future speakers or tours. Your ideas and participation are very important to making this organization work.

 

June 28- We have Tony Spilde from Knife River to tell us about CarbonCure (CC) as a new way of making concrete injected with CO2 that mineralizes in the process and increases strength.

 

July 26 (tentative) This will be a follow up with Jacob’s Engineering engaging webinar on the Opal Springs Pool Rise and Fish Passage. We would like to take a tour of this facilities. Details to be determined.
