Hydroelectric Power Plants
Since the start of its overseas activities the STRABAG Group has constructed hydroelectric power plants including associated structures such as dams, barrages, caverns, tunnels, spillways, switchyards. We are internationally engaged as a renowned problem solver and specialist in construction, repair and extension works on hydroelectric power plants. Our engagement originated in the early 50s. Since then, STRABAG Group has built gigantic structures for run-of-river power plants on all continents. Such power stations use the potential height difference between headwater and tailwater which may range from just some meters to more than 150 m. The water volume available in large rivers, such as the Paraná River in Argentina, is far above 10,000 m³ per second.
The building of structures used for the exploitation of hydropower is deemed one of the most demanding structural engineering tasks. This applies to planning and design as well as to construction itself. The STRABAG Group can boast tremendous technological and operative know-how in this field.
Examples of power plants with capacities of 60 to 85 MW can be found on the Rivers Rhine, Danube, and Inn in Austria. However, the damming of the Yellow River Huang-He at Xiaolangdi in China is much more impressive, as it provides for a capacity of 1,800 MW. One of the most outstanding projects is the Yacyreta Dam, a huge 3,200 MW run-of-river power plant between Argentina and Paraguay at the River Paraná.
