Springs Fabrication was awarded the Water Jet Peening Bridge System in support of our customers project with Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries subsidiary, Mitsubishi Nuclear Energy Systems (MNES), to perform water jet peening of the reactor vessel components susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) during the plant’s next refueling outage. The Water Jet Peening Bridge System was designed and fabricated to minimize crane use over the reactor cavity during the peening operation. The modular, 90-ton bridge assembly was fabricated, inspected, tested, assembled and prepared for shipment at our facility.
