Wivenhoe Power Station is the only pumped storage hydroelectric plant in QLD. It consists of two 250 megawatt units that are the largest hydro machines in Australia and weigh 1,500 tonnes each. AUS-ROV performed ROV General Visual Inspection (GVI) of the intake screens and turbine / pump shaft and bearing at the beginning of July. The operations team deployed the vLBV300 High Definition ROV from approximately 13 metres above the water level with the specially designed quick deployment and recovery system from SeaBotix. The ROV provided high resolution video of the turbine components, intake screens and concrete foundations the power station stands on.
