Method of improving the technology of installing power equipment at hydroelectric stations being reconstructed

1. The characteristics of reconstructing hydrostations impose individual requirements on the solution of problems of carrying out construction and installation works in the powerhouse. Therefore when developing new technologies and designs main attention is devoted to reducing labor intensity and cost of installation works, shortening installation time, and increasing reliability in the quality of the structural members being installed. 2. On the basis of a functional and cost analysis, the conditions were determined and the method of comparing variants of technological solutions of installing power equipment of hydrostations; the optimal variant precluding the possibility of occurrence of excessive expenses both during reconstruction and operation of the object was selected.
