ANDRITZ HYDRO Spain is responsible for the supply of turbines, generators and associated equipment, including detailed engineering, procurement, manufacturing, transportation to site, erection and commissioning.
The manufacturing and preassembly of the main turbine components will be carried out at the ANDRITZ HYDRO workshop in Algete, Spain. An exception is the spiral case, which will be produced at the ANDRITZ HYDRO workshop in Morelia, Mexico. Indar, based in Guipúzcoa, Spain, is in charge of the generator supply.
