Quabbin Celebrates Milestone Success in Hoover Dam Intake Tower Project Completion

The Hoover Dam project is a 5-year project involving the fabrication of new gate stem assemblies for all 4 intake towers. The goal of this project was to replace the stem components and stem guides with corrosion-resistant materials (Duplex 2205 / Nirtonic 60). The combined length of stems in 1 tower is 145' taller than the Empire State building with needle on top.

Quabbin is excited to share a major success in our project at the Hoover Dam. We have recently completed the delivery of two intake towers, marking a significant step forward in the "Replacement of Intake Tower Cylinder Gate Stem Assemblies" initiative. This latest phase involved the fabrication of all stem components for tower 2.

The project requires the coordination of multiple subcontractors and raw material vendors. Despite challenges such as COVID-related delays and material shortages, Quabbin has delivered the first 2 towers on time. The timing and replacement of these components are crucial to ensure minimal downtime at the dam.

As we celebrate this achievement, it's essential to recognize the teamwork and dedication that brought us here. Our team worked diligently to ensure that the project timelines were met, thereby instilling confidence in our ongoing commitment to excellence.

As we look ahead, Quabbin is committed to maintaining the progress we've achieved so far. Each assembly installed will contribute to enhancing the operational effectiveness of the Hoover Dam.

Reaching this milestone in the Hoover Dam intake tower project reflects our dedication to high-quality engineering and manufacturing. As we forge ahead, our focus will remain on safety, quality, and efficiency, aiming to surpass expectations in all our endeavors.
