Other steel structures
The gate structures of the dams and reservoirs required for the operation of hydropower plants are demanding steel structures, and their construction is a serious professional challenge – also due to their sizes and technological requirements. During the construction of several hydropower plants, our Company has produced demanding steel structures and sluice gates.
Project data
Project: Production of a sluice gate for the hydroelectric power plantWeight: 270 tons
Customer: Verbund Hydro Power GmbH
Construction period: 2008
Location: Austria
After replacing the old sluice gates, our Company manufactured the structure of one of the two-part sluice gates. Due to the magnitude of the mechanical stress, the proper creation of the welding seams was a task of great significance.
