Company Information

Graz/Vienna, February 3, 2016. ANDRITZ HYDRO, part of international
technology Group ANDRITZ, has received an order from Daelim Lotte
Joint Venture to supply the electromechanical equipment, hydraulic
steel structures, penstocks, and control systems for the Gulpur
hydropower station, Pakistan. Start-up is scheduled for mid-2019. The
order value amounts to approximately 65 million euros.

ANDRITZ HYDRO is to supply two turbine generator sets, each with an
output of 52 megawatts, for a head of 57 meters to the new hydropower
station on the Poonch River in northwestern Pakistan. Due to the high
sand content in the river water and the resulting severe abrasion,
the Kaplan turbines will be protected by the highly resistant ANDRITZ
HYDRO SXH™ coating. Another special feature: The runner blades and
guide vanes of the turbines can be replaced quickly and easily
without disassembling the turbines.
