Data and Report from S&T Project 19188: Feasibility of Autonomous Robotics for Relining Penstocks and Similar Structures
Advancements in robotics recoating jobs is changing the way contractors conduct business by increasing production rates, lowering costs, and reducing worker exposure to harmful chemicals. The potential safety improvements are further magnified by this new opportunity to minimize the number of employees in the permit required confined space. Workforces for coatings contractors have experienced life-threatening reactions and death as a result of working in the confined spaces of hydropower facilities. The benefits for Reclamation are safer work environments, reduced liability, shorter downtimes, and reduced cost.
