The San Vicente Pump Station Projects are a part of San Diego County Water Authorities Emergency Storage project. The Pump Station will be built to provide facilities for 3 horizontal centrifugal pumps, including 7000 HP motors, 2 variable frequency drives and transformers. The work being performed consists of the construction of new pump station, surge control facility and inlet outlet structures, installation of fabricated steel pipe and fittings, and related systems, gates and valves, and other appurtenances.

On-site Technical Services Inc. is providing a Start up Manager as well as Mechanical engineers for the pumps and electrical support for the power and VFD systems.

Metropolitan Water Districts OC 88 Project consisted of the fabrication inspection; performance testing and field technical support of (3) each 13,000 GPM, 1500 HP Vertical pumps at locations throughout the United States and Mexico. As an owner representative On-site Technical Services Inc. was charged with providing a variety of services in support of the manufacturing and start up processes including, engineering analysis of production problems, which included technical issues associated with start_up, coatings and clarifications to assure compliance with the customer specification requirements.

On-Site Technical Specialists supported the start up of the pump station, vibration analysis, and meetings with the fabricator to resolve problems.

Alameda Corridor Anaheim Street Pump Station Project was constructed to provide and improve drainage in the area for flood control. Storm water from the newly constructed pump station will be discharged into the Dominguez Channel through an outfall structure.

On-site Technical Services Inc. provided construction inspection services, field technical support, fabrication inspection and engineering support during the performance testing of 2 each 33,000 GPM 700 HP pumps. Fabrication inspection of the engineered equipment such as the pumps was completed at locations in the United States and Mexico.

SDG & E's Palomar Power Plant expansion involved the upgrading and replacement of mechanical and electrical equipment throughout the plant. On-site Technical Services Inc. provided direct technical support and engineering analysis, fabrication inspection services, supported performance testing and vibration analysis of 3 each 65,000 GPM 1,750 HP Vertical Pumps fabricated in the United States and Mexico. Due to the critical time line associated with the installation of the equipment.

On-site Technical Services Inc. provided technical support and failure analysis, on the main Circulating Water Pumps. Additional technical support was provided to Kiewit project engineers in dealing with pump repair and warranty issues, and to meet the contract requirements.

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Palomar Power Plant expansion involved the upgrading and replacement of mechanical and electrical equipment throughout the plant. When the installed 42w pumps began making cyclic noise and vibrating during operations, On-site Technical Services Inc. was contacted to perform engineering analysis of the problems associated with 4 each 45,000 GPM, 750 HP Vertical Pumps. These efforts involved the failure analysis of the pump components, supporting the rebuild efforts and start up operations of all 4 pump units.
