Project Overview

Multiple penstock replacements and upgrades were completed at numerous sites across Vermont and New Hampshire, including all associated site work, concrete penstock fabrication and erection.

Since 2007, PC’s Special Projects Group has replaced nearly 12,000 linear feet of penstock ranging in size from 48 to 102 inches in diameter. The new penstock replaced aging materials such as wood stave penstock dating back nearly 100 years. Structural supports and foundation upgrades were also constructed for an additional 19,000 linear feet of existing penstock.

PC’s four-decade collaboration with Green Mountain Power began with the construction of the Bolton Falls Hydroelectric Plant in 1985. Today, our Special Projects Group continues to provide key construction services on over 200 contracts in Vermont, New Hampshire and New York.
