Dams

The installation of hydro mechanical equipment on large dams entails the following:

  • Installation of pipe work ranging from 150NB to 3000NB.
  • Welding of pipe sections – horizontal and vertical.
  • Welding of various materials, such as, stainless steel, 3CR12 and mild steel.
  • Corrosion protection repairs of welded areas.
  • Installation of sealing faces for maintenance and emergency gates.
  • Installation of guides for gates and fine screens.
  • Installation of valves from 250NB to 3000NB – gate valves up to 1000NB, butterfly valves up to 3000NB, sleeve valves up to 1800NB and spherical valves up to 1200NB
  • Installation of crane rails.
  • Installation of air and water lines for services in dams.
  • Hydro pressure testing of installed equipment.
  • Installation of hand railing and walk ways.

Maintenance on dams:
