Engineering and Design

Powerful Partnerships

 

We’ve paired our specialized internal engineering department with some of the world’s most known engineering firms to offer complete design and engineering services from simple to complex projects.

Our designs are offered in 3D via Solidworks® or 2D via AutoCAD™. For heightened requirements, Worthington has large internal computing and cloud-based capabilities to simulate complex flow scenarios.

Using the powerful Flow3D™ software platform, we can model boom behavior under complex headpond and spillway conditions.

 

3-TIERS OF ENGINEERING/DESIGN SERVICES TAILORED TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS AND EXISTING CAPABILITIES. OUR SERVICES ARE STRUCTURED SO YOU CAN DECIDE HOW MUCH, OR HOW LITTLE, ENGINEERING & DESIGN SUPPORT YOU REQUIRE.

3-Tiers of Engineering Options

TierONE

Basic Anchor Tension

You provide Worthington’s design team with basic data including wind speed, surface flow velocity, wave height, debris, and ice. We hand calculate the boom line tension at each anchor point, mark the loads on an aerial image or on a drawing that you provide to us showing the general boom layout, boom sag, and tension at each anchor point. This is especially helpful for engineering firms who have large in-hosue capability and only need to know the loads so they can design anchorages and other attributes. Not Included: design calculations, engineers stamps, drawings, site visit 

TierTWO

Anchor Tension PLUS General Layout

All the deliverables in TierONE plus we provide standard general layout drawings showing boom line catenary, anchor locations. Not Included: design calculations, engineers stamp, anchor designs, detailed product drawings, site visits 

TierTHREE

Full Service Complete Design Package

This is a full IFC (Issued For Construction) design package that may include detailed design calculations in a design brief, boom layout and anchor details, engineers stamp, site walk down, bathymetric profiling, core samples, construction support. 

 

Full FLOW-3D™ Capabilities

We do more than just provide stunning 3D design and engineering documents. Our powerful Flow-3D software allows us to accurately model flows, loads, direction of debris, fish and people at your site allowing you to make a more informed decision.
