Written by Kenneth Creager, PE | Apr 5, 2022 7:26:00 PM

Goleta Water District (GWD) has seven different facilities equipped with stationary diesel-fueled emergency power generators ranging in size from 16 kW up to 750 kW. GWD issued a task order to LEE + RO to evaluate and perform a condition assessment on these generators and provide prioritized recommendations for repairs or replacement to avert potential future failures.

The scope of work includes:

  • Site visits to gather information on the existing generators and installed conditions. Based on the gathered information, the initial assessment will consider:
    1. Failure History and Causes
    2. Aging (number of years the generator has been in-service)
    3. Annual Maintenance Routines
    4. Parts and Service Availability
    5. Current Loading
    6. Planned Future Loading
  • Present the initial assessment to discuss the findings and determine the direction forward for each of the seven generators.
  • Final Assessment Report. This report will include an assessment for each of the existing generators, repair or replacement recommendations, prioritization of the work, and associated preliminary cost estimates.
