Morro Bay Steam Electric Plant
The principal features of the Morro Bay Steam Electric Plant of California that are of particular interest to the civil engineer are (1) a condenser cooling-water system that utilizes a surge chamber; (2) a 24-in.-diarneter, fuel-oil supply line extending 4,400 ft into the ocean; (3) sea-water evaporators that were the first to be used for the industrial production of fresh water in the United States; (4) a continuous-mat foundation under the main power building; (5) a 450-ft-high, reinforced concrete stack incorporating the latest concepts in seismic design; and (6) turbine generator foundations that were dynamically designed. Some of the problems encountered in designing these features are described.
