| NCC reconstructs hydropower dam in Höljes NCC Construction Sweden has been commissioned to remodel the Höljes power station in the Municipality of Torsby, Värmland. The client is Fortum Generation AB and the order is valued at around SEK 300 M. The order will be registered in the second quarter of 2012. The Höljes power station on the upper Klarälven river was inaugurated in 1962 and has generated energy ever since. As a result of new requirements fordam safety, partly due to increased water flows, a number of features have to be reconstructed. These include adapting the dam to enable it to release more water via a new spillway. Work will commence in 2012 and is scheduled for completion in September 2015. The project will employ at most about 80 individuals. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
