Canyon Hydro services

Even the best turbine systems experience performance degradation over time. Efficiency drops as waterborne silt wears away runner and nozzle surfaces, as bearings and seals age, and when changes are made to the penstock or other components. Canyon Hydro has the experience necessary for a complete inspection of your current turbine system.  We begin with close examination of the runner and nozzle system, including non-destructive testing (NDT) of your runner using a liquid dye penetrant to detect surface degradation and more serious cracks.

Canyon Hydro has the expertise and machinery to assess, dismantle, repair, rebuild (or replace), and reassemble your existing hydropower components. Canyon Hydro occupies a unique position as a U.S. manufacturer with in-house design and machining capabilities along with full turbine refurbish field service crews. This potent combination can expedite the work while reducing your risk. From individual parts to the replacement of the entire water-to-wire package, Canyon has the ability to deliver exactly what you need, within the dimensional constraints of your existing facilities.

For Micro Hydro Systems to 100kW - For larger Utility/IPP systems to 20MW. Given the many possible configurations for hydro power, we strongly recommend that you let us help you design the proper turbine system for your site. The Canyon Hydro engineering team is the best in the business, and there is no charge for this service. To begin the design process, we’ll need a few essential facts. Most important are accurate HEAD and FLOW measurements. (You can learn more about measuring Head and Flow in our Guide to Hydro Power.)
