Fabricated Steel Structures For Hydropower

3000 tons of fabricated steel structures for hydropower were delivered to America. The material of the fabricated steel structures is ASTM-A36 carbon steel. The main fabrication process involves cutting, edge milling,  welding, assembling, inspection, painting, packing, etc.

What's a Fabricated Steel Structure?

Fabricated steel structures refer to structures that are constructed using prefabricated steel components that are manufactured offsite and then assembled on-site. These structures can include buildings, bridges, towers, and other infrastructure. Steel is a popular choice for fabrication because of its strength, durability, and versatility.

The fabrication process typically involves cutting, bending, and welding steel components to create the desired structure. Computer-aided design (CAD) software is often used to design the components, which are then manufactured using automated machinery. The finished components are transported to the construction site and assembled using cranes and other heavy machinery.

One of the main advantages of using fabricated steel structures is that they can be designed and constructed quickly, which can save time and money. The prefabricated components are also more consistent in quality, which can lead to fewer construction errors and a higher level of structural integrity. Additionally, steel structures are resistant to fire, termites, and other hazards, which can make them a safer choice for certain applications.

Common Used Fabricated Steel Structures In Hydropower

Fabricated steel structures are often used in the construction of hydropower plants. These structures can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

• Penstocks: Penstocks are large pipes that carry water from the reservoir to the turbines. These pipes are often made of steel to withstand the high pressure and force of the water.
• Turbines: The turbines themselves are often made of steel and are designed to withstand the force of the water as it flows through them.
• Gates: Gates are used to control the flow of water through the plant. These gates can be made of steel and are often operated hydraulically.
• Powerhouse: The powerhouse is the building that houses the turbines and generators. The structure of the powerhouse is often made of steel to provide a strong and durable structure that can withstand the weight of the equipment.
• Transmission lines: The electricity generated by the hydropower plant needs to be transmitted to the grid. Transmission lines are often supported by steel towers.
