Hydro power plants

Centrales hydroélectriques en Afrique

Thanks to its extensive experience, ABC CONTRACTING can successfully rehabilitate existing hydropower plants as well as build new ones, namely:

» Mechanical parts for turbines, including hydraulic components for guide vane drives.

» Hydromechanics for intake gates, stoplogs and penstocks.

» Welding and corrosion protection for penstocks, spiral cases and draft tubes.

» Piping for cooling water and dewatering systems.

» Electricity for electrical switchboards, transformers and cabling.

Our strength lies in the combined presence of highly-skilled engineers and project managers, both in Europe and in Africa.
