Duke Energy – Bear Creek

About The Project

Customer: Duke Energy
Location: Four (4) locations: Bear Creek, Cedar Cliff, Tanasee Creek, and Wolf Creek
Project: Spill Gate Hoist and Platform Replacement Projects
Lemke Industrial Machine LLC: Lemke designed and manufactured unique redundant drive Torque Tube design hoists for the four (4) locations. The hoists have drive units on each end with only one unit engaged at a time. Should a drive unit fail it can be disengaged and the other unit can be engaged while under full load. That changeover can be completed in less than 15 minutes.

The hoists have redundant wire ropes, wire rope slack indicators, redundant gate position indicators, redundant controls and two (2) separate means of auxiliary drive should there be a power outage.

The hoists have 56,000 lbs. lift capacity at 1 fpm.

Working with Lemke Industrial Machine LLC was and continues to be a seamless process. From fabrication to testing and troubleshooting, LIM has provided excellent products and services to my company. The team has been such a joy to work with on multiple projects. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and again. Thanks guys!
