TBM disc cutters, Raise boring cutters, Top hammer rock drilling tools for Hydropower project

Hydropower engineering construction projects are systematic projects with complex construction conditions and large-scale projects. Our TBM cutters, top hammer drilling tools and raise boring tools can be widely used in hydropower projects.

In the construction of hydropower projects, tunnel construction is very important, which is not only an important foundation for ensuring the quality of water conservancy projects, but also an important guarantee to promote the development of water conservancy projects. Litian has rich theoretical and practical experience on TBM disc cutters in rock drilling construction with tunnel boring machines. Our TBM cutters are customized according to different geological conditions, with stable performance, high wear resistance and high work efficiency.

Drilling for blasting and bolting are important construction links in hydropower projects. Therefore, the selection of drilling tools is very important. Efficient and accurate drilling directly affects the completion efficiency and quality of subsequent operations. Litian top hammer threaded rock drill tools have a full range of categories and excellent overall drilling performance, which can meet all kinds of drilling needs in construction.

With the increasing maturity of raise drilling construction technology, raise drilling rigs can be widely used in the construction of vertical shafts, pilot shafts of inclined shafts, ventilation shafts, as well as drilling high-precision curtain holes and grouting holes construction in hydropower projects. Our company can customize various sizes and models of raise drilling hobs for all kinds of raise drilling rigs, which have the advantages of good rock-breaking effect, high wear resistance, stable overall performance, long service life, and so on.

Commonly used rock tools for hydropower projects：

Hydropower, also known as hydroelectric power, harnesses the force of moving water to produce electricity. The use of water resources as a source of energy is an age-old practice. In the fourth century BC, the Persian empire was already using water wheels to irrigate fields and water mills for grinding grain.

Its heyday of development would come with the industrial revolution in Great Britain when it was used as an energy source for new inventions. Specifically, at the end of the 19th century, James B. Francis managed to develop a highly efficient hydraulic turbine, giving rise to the Francis turbine, capable of transforming the potential energy of water into rotational energy applied to a shaft. At present, the Francis turbine is the most widely used in renewable hydropower generation plants.

We must not confuse hydropower with tidal power, which is harnessed from the movement of sea waters caused by the tides, nor with wave power, which makes use of the movement of ocean waves to capture energy.

At Repsol, we want to lead the energy transition, which is why the Company has set itself the goal of achieving net zero emissions by , in line with the Paris Agreement objectives and the United Nations Sustainable Development goals. This goal has been accompanied by a series of projects and investments that seek to align our entire value chain with this commitment.

In relation to our hydropower projects, it is worth highlighting the three hydropower groups, made up of a total of twelve plants, located in northern Spain (Asturias, Cantabria, and Castilla y León). The Navia, Picos, and Aguayo-Aguilarplants have an installed capacity of 697 MW, which is equivalent to the annual consumption of all the homes in Madrid. 

"Aguayo II" Project: A sustainable solution

The pumping station expansion project, known as “Aguayo II” in Cantabria, is one of the latest initiatives set out in the – Strategic Plan in its commitment to renewable energies. The project can increase the installed capacity of the pumped storage plant by 1 GW to a total of 1.4 GW, making it the second largest facility of this kind in Spain.

One of the key aspects of the project is its compatibility with the environmental conservation of the surroundings. The Aguayo expansion combines greater efficiency in generation from renewable sources with an underground installation without impact to the landscape, providing an environmentally sustainable solution.

These projects, together with the large portfolio of services that we have developed in renewable energy, sustainability, and the circular economy, will help us reach our goal of net zero emissions by .
