Proposed Project:
The Bureau of Reclamation, Hoover Dam utilizes many boilers and pressure vessels that require pressure relief valves (PRVs) to be operated safely. Hoover Dam requests an order of several dozen PRVs of various sizes and specifications to be delivered to the dam so that staff may have them installed throughout the powerplant and connected systems. The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) is procuring these new PRVs to stay up to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) and ensure the safety of all pressurized systems and personnel.
