Operation and maintenance of hydroelectric facilities
The operation, maintenance and monitoring of hydropower plants make up the core of our expertise.
Operating the facilities involves ongoing monitoring and preventive maintenance of the installations. Our employees carry out regular inspections and controls. The local operator benefits from centralised technical support from a group of more than 70 engineers from the mechanical, electrical, automation and control, and civil engineering fields. A 24-hour standby service ensures fast and efficient troubleshooting.
We also carry out periodic maintenance work. These are managed and planned using a computer-aided maintenance management tool.
Taking the current hydroelectric situation into account, we offer flexible operating and maintenance concepts that are tailored to our customers' strategic challenges while guaranteeing the safety of people and property.
