Seven butterfly valves and mounting inserts DN 1500-3500 for Austrian hydroelectric power plant

Up to unbelievable altitude 2 227 meters have reached our seven butterfly valves and seven mounting inserts DN 1500-3500! Their final destination was an Austrian hydroelectric power plant, where the valves will become part of the pumping system between two reservoirs "Großer Mühldorfer See" and "Kleiner Mühldorfer See“.

Valves in the heights!

This order was demanding not only due to the preparation, organization and production of the valves, but also in terms of logistics. Transportation of oversized pieces, high mountain roads and manipulation in the tunnel were huge challenges of this job.

Fortunately, we are very experienced in the production and transportation of oversized valves. We had to disassemble the entire assembly of valves and mounting inserts into several smaller parts for transport. But still, it was an oversized load that was transported on a low-floor truck with a maximum loading platform height of only 30 cm above the ground.

Thanks to our experience, we ensured, that the valves were transported safely to their final destination high in the mountains!
