Services
Perfect solution for each application:
Taking care of your plant starting with the planning phase throughout the entire lifetime of your hydropower plant.
During the planning stage, supporting you to make the right choice regarding the type of turbine and helping you to define all other major characteristics of your power plant.
Erection and commissioning as well as training of the operator staff will also be provided. Optional repair works, supply of spare parts and maintenance works complete our service offers.
Should there occur any problem after taking over, we are able to identify the cause via remote maintenance. In that way the business interruption will be shorten significantly.
