Heavy lifts at Deer Creek Station construction site

Heavy lifts at Deer Creek Station construction site Tube. Duration : 3.23 Mins.

In the world of heavy lifts, nothing moves too quickly. Take this steam drum, for example. It's gonna be on its way to the Deer Creek Station. Soon. It's lifted off its train car. And then set down on another trailer. This Goldhofer trailer has 144 tires and a capacity to carry far more weight than you'll find in this steam drum. Just ask Darrell Morris. (Darrell Morris): "It is not the biggest one. The generators and turbines are bigger. We actually have some of the components on inside of the boiler itself is bigger than this drum also." Morris and his crew with Boldt Construction have done more than a dozen big lifts for the Deer Creek Station so far. (Darrell Morris): "We've put a lot of rigging time, rigging studies into all these lifts. Yeah, we're ready, and we're ready to hit the air with it." Once the Goldhofer rolls away with the steam drum, Boldt stays behind in Aurora, South Dakota, to get ready for the next lift. The steam drum travels 16 road miles to the Deer Creek Station site. It's going to be set down in the south end of the plant site. (Matt Ehrman): "We actually have several lay down yards. We have one at the north entrance to the plant, and we've got another one at the south end of the plant. The one at the north end of the plant is pretty much filled up and now we're kind of concentrating on the southern lay down yard." Matt Ehrman is Basin Electric's mechanical field engineer on site. He says there's lots of underground work to get done before ...

Hot Deals 21% of Bayesian Networks: A Practical Guide to Applications (Statistics in Practice) information today

Detail of Bayesian Networks: A Practical Guide to Applications (Statistics in Practice)Bayesian Networks, the result of the convergence of artificial intelligence with statistics, are growing in popularity. Their versatility and modelling power is now employed across a variety of fields for the purposes of analysis, simulation, prediction and diagnosis.

This book provides a general introduction to Bayesian networks, defining and illustrating the basic concepts with pedagogical examples and twenty real-life case studies drawn from a range of fields including medicine, computing, natural sciences and engineering.

Designed to help analysts, engineers, scientists and professionals taking part in complex decision processes to successfully implement Bayesian networks, this book equips readers with proven methods to generate, calibrate, evaluate and validate Bayesian networks.

The book:

• Provides the tools to overcome common practical challenges such as the treatment of missing input data, interaction with experts and decision makers, determination of the optimal granularity and size of the model. 

• Highlights the strengths of Bayesian networks whilst also presenting a discussion of their limitations.

• Compares Bayesian networks with other modelling techniques such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and fault trees.

• Describes, for ease of comparison, the main features of the major Bayesian network software packages: Netica, Hugin, Elvira and Discoverer, from the point of view of the user.

• Offers a historical perspective on the subject and analyses future directions for research.

Detail of Mechanical Tolerance Stackup and Analysis, Second Edition (Dekker Mechanical Engineering)

Use Tolerance Analysis Techniques to Avoid Design, Quality, and Manufacturing Problems Before They Happen

Often overlooked and misunderstood, tolerance analysis is a critical part of improving products and their design processes. Because all manufactured products are subject to variation, it is crucial that designers predict and understand how these changes can affect form, fit, and function of parts and assemblies—and then communicate their findings effectively.

Written by one of the developers of ASME Y14.5 and other geometric dimension and tolerancing (GD&T) standards, Mechanical Tolerance Stackup and Analysis, Second Edition offers an overview of techniques used to assess and convey the cumulative effects of variation on the geometric relationship between part and assembly features. The book focuses on some key components: it explains often misunderstood sources of variation and how they contribute to this deviation in assembled products, as well as how to model that variation in a useful manner.

New to the Second Edition:

• Explores ISO and ASME GD&T standards—including their similarities and differences
• Covers new concepts and content found in ASME Y14.5-2009 standard
• Introduces six-sigma quality and tolerance analysis concepts
• Revamps figures throughout

The book includes step-by-step procedures for solving tolerance analysis problems on products defined with traditional plus/minus tolerancing and GD&T. This helps readers understand potential variations, set up the problem, achieve the desired solution, and clearly communicate the results.

With added application examples and features, this comprehensive volume will help design engineers enhance product development and safety, ensuring that parts and assemblies carry out their intended functions. It will also help manufacturing, inspection, assembly, and service personnel troubleshoot designs, verify that in-process steps meet objectives, and find ways to improve performance and reduce costs.

Big lift: Heat recovery steam generator modules at Deer Creek Station

Big lift: Heat recovery steam generator modules at Deer Creek Station Video Clips. Duration : 2.58 Mins.

At the Deer Creek Station, they have a Heat Recover Steam Generator (HRSG), rather than a boiler. And there are 14 HRSG modules inside the HRSG casing. Today, we're going to see them lift up a HRSG module, and using three cranes, drop it in the top of that casing. Lifting a HRSG module requires balance... Balance between horsepower ... and man power... Balance between getting the job done ... and getting it done safely. (Darrell Morris): "It's an hour and a half from start to finish. It's a pretty smooth operation." Darrell Morris is the job rigging superintendent for Boldt Construction. Boldt lifts each module off the trailer, into its slingback, and up into the air vertically. It takes more than 20 workers to do a lift... including the guys who play tug-of-war with the module. (Darrell Morris): "Those modules are 70 foot long, and they catch a lot of wind. So, yeah, you gotta keep a lot of tension on the rope, so, again, so the module doesn't start swinging, twisting." The HRSG casing is more than 80 feet tall. All 14 modules fit inside, side by side. Gary Hager is a Basin Electric mechanical field engineer on site. He explains how the HRSG fits in at this combined cycle power plant. (Gary Hager): "You've got the gas turbine spinning, and it's turning a generator. You've got the gas out of the gas turbine making steam in this boiler. And then it's steam into the steam turbine, which is spinning another generator, which gives us the rest of the megawatts we need." The ...
