Dam construction

For dam construction, we develop and implement powerful crane and transport systems such as parallel cranes, radial cranes and slewing mast cranes. They reliably move large quantities of construction materials and concrete to wherever they are needed on the construction site.

Our high-performance systems deliver up to 250 cubic meters of concrete per hour per installation, around the clock. Loads can be moved precisely along all three spatial axes. This means that even extensive site areas can be reached safely and efficiently, while materials and machinery are available exactly where they are needed at all times.

From the challenge…

Construction sites in dam building are often located in topographically demanding and difficult-to-access terrain. At the same time, machinery, formwork elements, concrete and other materials must be available reliably and on schedule. Additional challenges arise from climatic extremes, tight schedules, and high demands on safety and site logistics.

Building temporary access roads or using helicopters involves considerable time and cost in many projects. What is needed, therefore, are transport solutions that remain high-performing, precise and reliable even under difficult conditions.

… to the solution

For the requirements of dam construction, we provide proven system solutions designed for long-term use. Our cable crane systems in particular are designed to transport heavy loads over long distances and in steep terrain. Even weights of up to 30 tonnes can be moved precisely and efficiently.

Because our systems remain operational even under challenging climatic conditions, they support project schedules, reduce logistical bottlenecks and help prevent delays in the construction process.

Where terrain, distance and climate place the highest demands, our cable crane and heavy-load systems ensure safe transport operations and dependable construction processes.

Sediment Management

In addition to our transport solutions for dam construction, the LCS Sediment Management System provides a logistically optimized solution for the continuous removal of sediments from reservoirs and basins. The system is based on a two-line cable crane installation and enables precise material transport even under demanding topographical conditions.

This expands our range of services around dams and impoundment structures not only during the construction phase, but also with regard to operation, clearing and logistical requirements in the reservoir and basin environment
