Structure Guard, Inc. puts over 60 years of utility maintenance management experience
at your disposal. We have pioneered non-metallic trash rack technology that can save you
maintenance dollars from "day one".
Structure
Guard non-metallic racks will eliminate, forever, all maintenance procedures
associated with the prevention of rust, corrosion and electrolysis. All classes of marine
growth will be severely limited and easily cleaned. In fresh water use the Structure Guard
trash rack will eliminate frazil ice buildup. Hydrodynamic leading edges will increase
efficient water passage to turbine units and pumps. Structure vibration will be reduced.
Structure
Guard thermoplastic trash racks are manufactured in all configurations from 3/4"
clearance to heavy industrial log screens. At 1/6 the weight of steel, they are easily
installed and have a virtually unlimited useful life.
Fish
entrainment regulations may be met with the installation of a seasonal plastic overlay of
placement of permanent plastic blades between the existing steel. The 1" mandated
spacing between trash rack blades may be achieved with little additional weight and at a
far lower cost than designing and building new trash rack sections.
Structure
Guard manufactures both steel and plastic trash racks, fully assembled and site
engineered for your location. Structure Guard plastic trash racks are presently
utilized by major hydro electric, nuclear and fossil generating facilities and water
treatment plants throughout the United States.
We would welcome the opportunity of quoting your trash rack requirements.
