Dams and hydropower
Over 150 years of experience in hydropower – a tradition that combines innovation and sustainability.
There are more than 50,000 large dams and barrages worldwide. They are used for flood control, drinking water supply, process water supply in industry and agriculture, or for the generation of energy with sustainable ecological energy. Hydropower stations and barrage dams are exposed to enormous pressure – and therefore the material and technology used have to deliver maximum performance. It is especially the valves that are subject to extreme strain: Whenever required, they have to function reliably within a very short time and under high pressure. They control the bottom outlet, prevent dam breaks or uncontrolled overflow of water, serve as turbine inlet protection or regulate the flow in the water distribution systems.
For all these plants, bob综合体育官网下载 delivers tailor-made solutions to places all over the world, like here to Scotland. As experts with a special and individual valve portfolio for dams and hydropower stations, we also provide advice, service and maintenance from one single source. The cavitation-free design for pressure and volumetric flow rates is calculated by engineers and designed according to your requirements.
Our valves are manufactured individually based on what the customer wishes. They safely and reliably convert the high forces present in large-scale water-retaining structures and, depending on their size, ensure large flow rates even at the highest flow velocities.
Flow-optimised, quick-closing safety valves with minimal resistance, such as the bob综合体育官网下载 EKN® S Butterfly Valve in combination with the bob综合体育官网下载 HYsec Hydraulic Break-and-Lift Unit, guarantee very short response times and highly reliable function even in the event of disturbances as they close and open dependably at any time. Spring-loaded and other air valves, hollow-jet discharge valves or the tried and tested bob综合体育官网下载 RIKO® Plunger Valve round off our range of valves in this segment.
