Caty hydroelectric power station

As part of the demolition of the existing hydroelectric power plant and the reconstruction of a new one, our teams provided their know-how on:

• monitoring the design of the plant
• specifying the turbo generator and other electromechanical equipment
• drawing up a set of specifications for purchases
• monitoring the work
• testing and commissioning

To do this, our experts oversaw:

• the installation of upstream and downstream cofferdams
• the demolition of the existing plant
• earthworks and engineering of the water intake, power station and fish pass
• the coordination of the installation of electromechanical equipment:
  • 1 double-regulated Kaplan turbine with permanent magnet alternator
  • 1 20/0.4 kV 630 kVA transformer
  • 1 automation and control system for managing the plant
  • 1 monorail with a capacity of 10 tonnes
  • 1 hydromechanical unit including grids, bar screens and a degreasing valve
• the removal of the cofferdams
• coordination for the commissioning and compliance of the installation
• dry and wet testing
