Scope Of Work
Sequoyah Nuclear Power Plant is owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Unit #2 is one of two pressurized water reactors. Together, the two units supply enough power to meet the needs of approximately 1.3 million Tennessee Valley homes every day.
Removal and replacement of Unit #2 at the Sequoyah plant required a lift of 360 tons by a 380-ft tall ringer crane. Given that the plant lies in the southeastern part of Tennessee, where much of the area is underlain by karstic limestone with probable voids, the selected foundation system for the large circular crane pad needed to be appropriate for the challenging karstic conditions.
