Company Information
Graz/Vienna, February 3, 2016. ANDRITZ HYDRO, part of international technology
Group ANDRITZ, has received an order from Daelim Lotte Joint Venture to supply
the electromechanical equipment, hydraulic steel structures, penstocks, and
control systems for the Gulpur hydropower station, Pakistan. Start-up is
scheduled for mid-2019. The order value amounts to approximately 65 million
euros.
ANDRITZ HYDRO is to supply two turbine generator sets, each with an output
of 52 megawatts, for a head of 57 meters to the new hydropower station on the
Poonch River in northwestern Pakistan. Due to the high sand content in the
river water and the resulting severe abrasion, the Kaplan turbines will be
protected by the highly resistant ANDRITZ HYDRO SXH coating. Another special
feature: The runner blades and guide vanes of the turbines can be replaced
quickly and easily without disassembling the turbines.
