OTHER PRODUCTS

ELECTRICAL BALANCE OF PLANT

Impianti elettrici di potenza

We supply electrical systems for power and control of hydroelectric power plants in collaboration with the BM Group.

We integrate technologically advanced solutions for low, medium and high voltage.

Electric panels, switches, protections and everything necessary for the complete management of the generated power and of all the auxiliary services for your new or existing hydroelectric plant.

AUTOMATION

Automazione

With BM Automation we can provide customized solutions for the automation of your new or existing plant.

With more than 30 software developers and automation engineers we can develop and provide advanced and reliable solutions based on the main technological platforms available on the market.

VALVES

Valvole

Design and manufacture of butterfly guard valves, designed and customized according to customer needs for each type of installation.

The hydraulic profile of the lens is carefully designed to minimize energy losses.

In addition to the valve, accessory systems can also be supplied: bypass, paddle flow detection system and inlet air valve.

We also perform reverse-engineering, repair andregeneration of all types of valves without size limits.

WATER GATES

Paratoie

We design, manufacture, and install water gates of different types and sizes. Starting from the small electromechanical actuated gates for small torrent intake, up to large hydraulic-actuated gates (turbine or penstock guard function), sector/flap gates for dam spillways, dam bottom outlet gates.

We design and build the hydraulic control system and the automation system.

Reverse engineering, repair and regeneration of all types of gates without dimensional limits are also carried out.

TRASH-RACK CLEANER

Sgrigliatori

We design, manufacture and install different types and sizes of trash-rack cleaning machines: rotating, hydraulic (mono/double arm), telescopic, fixed/translating. Conveyor belts are also made for waste transport.

Reverse-engineering, repair and regeneration operations are also carried out on existing machinery.

COANDA SCREENS

Griglie Coanda

The COANDA screen is used for tyrolese water intake with the possibility of take approximately 100 l/s for every meter of screen.

It is particularly suitable for mountain streams and has the enormous advantage of requiring very low maintenance for cleaning from leaves and other debris being essentially self-cleaning.

The spacing between the bars varies between 0.5 and 1.5mm and limiting the entry of debris.It reducing the need for water sedimentation.

The small space prevents the fish fauna from entering the derivation with high benefits for the respect of the environment.

We provide customized solutions for your new or existing plant.

SERVICES

Turnkey Water to Wire

Solutions

Thanks to the products and services extended portfolio and to the know-how Hydroalp can supply Turnkey solutions for the entire limit of electromechanical supply both of the power plant and of the intake structure.

In this way the customer has the advantage of having a single supplier responsible for all electromechanical equipment and without having to worry about supply boundaries and project coordination.

Hydroalp in collaboration with BM Group can also assume the role of General Contractor (EPC) and integrating in its contract also civil works, civil engineering and project management.

After Sales Services

Thanks to know-how of our technical department and our operating units, we are able to offer a wide range of after-sales services for the maximum efficiency of your plant.

Based on the customer’s specific needs, we can offer customized contracts for the following services:
