Thermal surveying for power station planning

Abstract
HR Wallingford has recently been responsible for major studies of cooling water dispersal from the Paka Power Station complex on the east coast of Malaysia in order to provide optimum design locations for a new outfall. The studies comprised bathymetric and hydrographic surveys, including observations of plumes and a computerised model assessment of flow and heat transport. This paper summarises the studies which also involved advanced methods of temperature profiling using a new streamer developed by Electronic and Geophysical Services Ltd.
