12 Foot Diameter Penstock

01/25/2013 3:56 PM

We just placed the last section of our 12 foot diameter penstock at our Pepperell, MA hydroelectric station. We also finally received our new Kiser Francis turbine. We off loaded it yesterday. Please see www.frenchriverland.com for photos of the civil works construction.

Sincerely,

William K. Fay P.E.

Thank you. I always enjoy your photos.

Where are the dogs? You really shouldn't be working without proper supervision.

Excellent commentary as usual, anyone considering putting any type of DIY hydro project on their property would do well to read your entire blog to get a first hand idea of the level of effort and what that "free" hydropower really "costs".
