Milling of Steel Bases, Fehmarnbelt Tunnel Construction, Denmark

The Fehmarnbelt road and rail tunnel, currently under construction, will connect Denmark and Germany. Named the Femern Link, this structure is set to become the world’s longest road-rail tunnel, the longest underwater road tunnel, the deepest road-rail tunnel, and the second deepest concrete tunnel globally.   We have a small role in this major infrastructure project! Our task was to achieve a flat surface on eight steel benches, each 7.7 meters long, as well as on eight shorter plates, with a total flatness of less than 1 mm. As seen in one of the photos, we managed to achieve an even better result. To accomplish this, we used the WWTECH […]

Xayaburi HPP, Laos

Xayaburi HPP, Laos

Xayaburi HPP (Sayaburi) power plant on the Mekong River, with a capacity of 1,285 MW, operated by CKPower Ltd. The plant, which was commissioned in October 2019, is equipped with 7 units of 175MW each, supplied by ANDRITZ. Our task was to design, manufacture, deliver, and implement two special machine tools for final machining of the new Kaplan turbine components on-site in Laos. A specially designed, mobile, universal circular milling machine with a working range of up to fi2000mm, A mobile boring machine (actually, two boring machines, thanks to an additional mounting system) based on the iconic BB5000, was prepared by our company upon the customer’s special request. The entire […]

3D Simulations

3D Simulations

Where the scope is very non-standard, where the complex geometry of the object limits the freedom of machining using standard machines, there is a need to check the possibility of installing our equipment and then the possibility of machining. Due to this, we support us by 3D CAD technology, knowledge and software enabling the reproduction of an object and a machine in space, which allows, for example, the selection of a suitable machine, analysis of assembly options, control of possible collisions and even the design of a new machine matching the structure being machined. The latter case is not uncommon in the iron and steel industry and in hydro-power business. However, to be able to perform such simulations, we must start by making or selecting previously made 3D models. We currently have a faithful 3D representation of all our machines. The geometry of the object is a bigger problem – here a suitable 3D model is often used or the classic documentation is provided by the customer. […]
