Each type has its own domain in terms of power, head, flow variation or water quality. We also supply WKV switchboards and controls including governors and automatic level control. All of proven "made by WKV" design and technology. Upon request we also supply energy recovery units suitable for operation on drinking water or salt water as well as for the production of mechanical power.
All our products are of first rate quality. They are developed and continuously improved in our own test facility, which allows us to guarantee the best efficiency. Right from the beginning we have applied a good portion of our profits to research and development. Hence, we count among the foremost suppliers of this industry. And it is through this continued improvement and development that we maintain our technological lead.
We provide a complete set of services: from the initial consultation, analysis and layout through to construction and completion. We provide designs, feasibility studies, assistance with water rights, project and construction planning and management. Wether for a new project, adding new capacity, an upgrade or a rehabilitation of an older plant. Our own service department won't leave you out in the cold up completion, and our after sales service will gladly assist you whenever a need arises.
We operate our own in-house powerplant equipped with 2 WKV Francis turbines. The experience, which can only be gained by operating one’s own power plants, is directly integrated into our work. Our clients benefit from it. And, our share holders appreciate its economic effects.
