Refurbishment
Reset & Upgrade
Hydro PlantLife® Programme
Customised optimisation
programmes to rejuvenate
your plant.
Optimise your existing asset and
prevent forced outages
Replacement or reconditioning of major components or rehabilitation can restore
original performance levels, extend plantlife and provide an opportunity to optimise
plant layout.
Refurbishment projects are optimised for each plant and include the replacement
or reconditioning of major components along with further plant rehabilitation or
renovation to reset performance.
The “Pit-Stop” option allows a significantly shorter refurbishment-related outage.
Compared to traditional methods, this approach allows a reduction in the
loss of production during downtime and consequently, decreases the overall
cost of refurbishment.
