For Smith-Root, Inc. we are in the final stages of completing revisions of as-built drawings for the Chicago 2B electrical fish barrier which has been operating since early 2011.

Parkin Engineering, Inc. designed all structures for the Chicago 2A Barrier – building, tank, raceway. 

Chicago 2B structures were designed by the Corps of Engineers with consultation from Parkin Engineering, Inc.  We provided structural engineering for gravity and seismic supports for electric raceway and cooling plumbing.

For Smith-Root’s ongoing research and development efforts on marine mammal deterrence, Parkin Engineering has designed test apparatus and participated in tests on location.

Parkin Engineering will be providing structural and civil design for a new barrier on the Telemark Canal in Norway.
