129 ARCHITECT Altega SPRL OWNER Hydro B GENERAL CONTRACTOR n/a CONSTRUCTION PERIOD 2020 The project consists of a hydroelectric power plant on the Ourth river in Chanxhe. Our mission is to design the reinforced concrete building reflecting customer’s constraints in terms of space, accessibility and machinery. One key element of the project is a 26 m long footbridge from the shore to the plant. The power plant in a few numbers: - 2 fish friendly Archimedean screw turbines - Drop height: 2.5 m - Flow rate: 11 m³/ s per turbine (22 m³/s for both turbines) - Expected production: +-1,600,000 kWh/year (which represents needs for +-500 households) SCIA Engineer is used to create an analysis model for the design of reinforcement in the concrete part of the complex and for the assessment of steel components like the footbridge or the bar screen cleaner. This is one of our first projects designed with SCIA Engineer in our company. After a rather short adaptation time, we easily made the switch from our previous tool.
