Renewable Power Consulting
Renewable Power Consulting staff provides both standard and innovative solutions to satisfy fish passage requirements. Our staff seeks to improve standard fish passage designs by providing systems which balance operation and maintenance costs versus initial construction costs. Whether the solution involves unique multiple discharge location elevator hoppers, self-crowding hopper systems, gravity closed gates, long-lasting aluminum baffles or similar innovative solutions, we provide proven effective designs that are superior to standard, assembly line fish passage designs. Our designs have literally saved hundreds of thousands of dollars over conventional designs.
