Installation of trestle cranes at one of the largest hydroelectric power plants in the Republic of Uzbekistan

As part of the modernization of HPPs in the Republic of Uzbekistan, our company successfully supplied two trestle cranes with a capacity of 80 (40 + 40) tons for a spillway dam, a gantry crane with a capacity of 15 tons for flushing galleries of the diversion canal regulator, two trestle cranes with a capacity of 60 ( 30+30)t for the pressure basin, as well as a trestle crane with a capacity of 30 (15+15)t for the diversion channel regulator. The installation of one of the trestle cranes with a capacity of 60 (30+30) tons has been completed at the station, and at the moment the crane is undergoing commissioning.

The installation of a second similar crane has also begun, which has a unique mechanism for lifting the crane and transverse movement.

This “set” of cranes came to replace the old cranes, which were assembled using outdated production and installation technologies (using field welding). New cranes supplied by our company have undergone control assembly at the factory and exclude welding work at the installation site and are assembled on axles and bolted connections, which greatly simplifies and speeds up the commissioning of lifting structures.

We are happy to share photos from the installation site and evaluate the result of our work.
