Engineering and validation

Hydraulic design and system engineering

Our multidisciplinary engineering teams combine hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and plant engineering expertise to develop integrated solutions for each project.

From water flow optimization to turbine performance and system integration, we engineer solutions that maximize efficiency, reliability and long-term value.

Hydraulic laboratory and model testing

Every new hydraulic design is validated in our own hydraulic laboratory through physical model testing in accordance with IEC 60193.


This allows us to optimize efficiency, cavitation behaviour and operating characteristics, verify contractual guarantees and reduce technical risk before production.

Equipment and systems

Hydro turbines and generating equipment

We design, manufacture and deliver Francis, Kaplan, Pelton and pump turbines together with generators and associated mechanical equipment.


Each solution is optimized for site-specific hydraulic conditions to ensure high efficiency, operational flexibility and dependable long-term performance.

Mechanical and electrical systems

Beyond the turbine and generator, we supply the essential mechanical and electrical systems required for reliable plant operation.


This includes governors, excitation systems, transformers, valves, auxiliary systems and electrical balance-of-plant equipment, engineered to operate as one integrated solution.

Delivery and lifecycle support

EPC delivery and plant modernization

Whether supplying individual components, modernizing existing units or delivering complete hydropower plants, we adapt our scope to each customer’s needs.

Our capabilities include engineering, manufacturing, project management, installation supervision, commissioning and technical support.

Lifecycle services

Hydropower assets are built for generations. Through inspections, refurbishment, upgrades, spare parts and technical support, we help operators maximize availability, improve efficiency and extend the lifetime of their most valuable assets.

Hydraulic laboratory

Proven performance before production

Every new hydraulic design is validated in our own hydraulic laboratory through physical model testing in accordance with IEC 60193. This allows us to optimize efficiency, cavitation behaviour and operating characteristics before equipment enters production.

By verifying performance early, we help reduce technical risk, support contractual guarantees and give operators greater confidence in the long-term performance of their hydropower assets.
