Hydro

We support our hydro generators with a full suite of engineering and site based services from intakes, headgates and stop logs, MIVs, penstocks, scrolls, runners, turbines, and draft tubes.

Our strength is offering integrated engineering and fabrication solutions, leveraging our multidisciplinary teams of qualified mechanical engineers, project managers, site supervisors and tradespeople. Examples of our services include:

  • Weld overlay and in-situ machining of runners.

  • Inspection and assessment of all hydropower machinery.

  • Reverse engineering and 3D design of components no longer supported by OEMs.

  • Development of runner refurbishment processes, QA documentation, and weld procedures.

  • Project and job management for end to end hydro refurbishment.

  • Preparation of refurbishment ITPs and ITRs.

  • Drafting of hydro gate, stoplog and general assemblies.

  • Refurbishment and re-bushing of wicket gates and bearing pots.

  • Development of novel refurbishment processes where conventional
    methodologies have failed.

  • Valve servicing and workshop.

  • Class 3 and 4 turbine overhauls.

Thermal

Hutec support thermal generators with engineering, manufacturing and site services for mechanical plant, steam and cooling water systems, associated pipework, valves and auxiliary equipment.

Our strength is bringing together engineering expertise, workshop capability and experienced site teams. Our mechanical engineers, project managers, supervisors and tradespeople work together to plan and deliver maintenance, refurbishment and plant modifications. Examples of our services include:

  • Planning and delivery of scheduled shutdowns and urgent repairs.

  • Inspection and assessment of mechanical plant and components.

  • Fabrication, repair and installation of pipework, supports and structural
    steelwork.

  • Precision machining and refurbishment of worn or damaged components.

  • Reverse engineering and 3D design of components no longer supported by
    OEMs.

  • Valve servicing, repair and workshop refurbishment.

  • Mechanical equipment removal, installation and alignment.

  • Electrical, instrumentation and control support for maintenance and plant upgrades.

  • Development of repair methodologies, weld procedures and quality
    documentation.

  • Preparation of inspection and test plans and records.

  • Project and job management from initial assessment through to installation
    and handover.

Geothermal

Our multidisciplinary teams combine local knowledge with mechanical engineering, fabrication, machining, and electrical and instrumentation capability. We work with operators to deliver practical maintenance and refurbishment solutions suited to demanding geothermal conditions. Examples of our services include:

  • Planning and delivery of geothermal plant shutdowns and maintenance.

  • Fabrication, repair and installation of steam, brine and condensate pipework.

  • Valve servicing, repair and workshop refurbishment.

  • Inspection and assessment of mechanical components affected by wear,
    erosion and corrosion.

  • Precision machining and refurbishment of plant components.

  • Reverse engineering and 3D design of replacement parts.

  • Fabrication and installation of pipe supports, platforms and access structures.

  • Mechanical equipment removal, replacement and alignment.

  • Electrical and instrumentation support for maintenance and plant modifications.

  • Development of repair methodologies, weld procedures, and inspection and test documentation.

  • Project and job management, coordinating workshop manufacture and site delivery.
