Capabilities
Gomez and Sullivan employs registered environmental, civil and
mechanical engineers specializing in water resource projects including dam
safety, hydrology and hydraulics, dam removal, watershed modeling, flood
control design and GIS.
- Feasibility Studies
- Gomez and Sullivan conducts feasibility
studies to evaluate potential upgrades, and expansions at
hydroelectric facilities, including the addition of minimum flow units
and the design of outlet works to pass minimum flows. Hydropower
producers seeking to maximize generation from FERC-mandated minimum
flows have sought our assistance in evaluating the energy benefit and
costs associated with upgrading or expanding existing turbines.
Gomez and Sullivan also conducts feasibility studies related to
dam removal projects. We conduct studies and develop hydraulic
models to examine the environmental, historic/cultural,
infrastructure, recreation, aesthetic and societal impacts of removing
dams.

- FERC Part 12 Safety Inspections
- Our staff has been approved as Independent Consultants by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and have performed FERC
Part 12 Inspections for a variety of hydro projects throughout the US.
These 5 - year inspections typically include: detailed site
inspections and evaluations of structural stability, seismicity,
hydrology, hydraulics, instrumentation, project operation and
emergency action procedures. Our staff have also provided design
and construction services for the rehabilitation of several FERC
licensed projects.

- Operations Modeling
- Gomez and Sullivan staff have developed numerous models to
simulate operations of multi development hydroelectric projects under
a variety of configurations. These models are used to examine
existing conditions within the basin, as well as a variety of resource
alternatives including; seasonal minimum flows, reservoir drawdown
restrictions, peaking restrictions, fishway flows and recreational
flows. Gomez and Sullivan uses these models as an integral part
of Environmental Assessments and Impact Statements.
