Construction

Description

Directionally controlled penstock drilling technology will make possible the exploitation of small hydro power resources in a cost efficient and environmentally friendly way. The technology could be used in locations where a traditional pipeline would be extremely costly (or even impossible) and be visible in the landscape. The entire operation could be done from the lower opening of the shaft.

Features & Advantages

  • ND700HR: length=Max. 300m,
  • NDL700HR: length=Max. 1000m, turn radius=approx. 250m
  • Reduce traffic in the area between power house and intake. No visible pipeline or traces after buried pipelines.
