Assess condition
The existing plant and visible wear provide the basis for further maintenance.
Inspection and maintenance for hydropower plants
Regular inspection and maintenance help identify wear early. We consider the specific characteristics of your hydropower plant and tailor maintenance to its operation.
Maintenance matched to your plant
Coordinate maintenance
A maintenance plan considers the design, condition and operating requirements of your hydropower plant.
Plan measures
Agree on required work early and coordinate it with plant operation.
What we look at
For inspection and maintenance we consider your plant as a whole – from the turbine and hydraulic steelwork to the control system. The result is a maintenance plan from a single source.
Turbine and drive
- Turbines of all types and designs
- Bearings and turbine shaft guide bearings
- Hydraulic units for turbine control
- Automatic lubrication systems
Hydraulic steelwork
- Trash racks and trash rack cleaners
- Sluice gates and stop log systems
- Weirs
Electrical and control systems
- Control panels and power equipment
- PLC control and visualisation
- Remote maintenance and monitoring via VPN
- IP video monitoring of trash rack cleaners and sluice gates
Planned work instead of unexpected downtime
Every hydropower plant has its own operating history. Regular inspections help identify changes and plan required work. We agree the maintenance scope with you based on the existing equipment and operating procedures.
Logged operating conditions such as water levels and alarms provide additional information on the condition of your plant. Remote monitoring via a secure VPN connection helps detect faults early and prevent equipment damage.
When repair work is needed
If the inspection shows a need for action, we carry out the work ourselves: from turbine refurbishment in our workshop and the repair or new construction of hydraulic steelwork to renewing the control system. We repair turbine shaft guide bearings without removing the turbine shaft.
