Contractor: Integral inženjering a.d. (PLC)
Work value of Integral inženjering: 19,3 million BAM or 9,87 million EUR
Scope of works:
Structures are designed to be constructed in the left side profile, in the area between the road and spillways, and they are oriented in row, parallel with the direction of river valley and existing road of the main road M16. Power plant includes: firth canal, intake, headrace with transition section, intake structure, and discharge race. Installation and access platforms are constructed above the supply channels and on the top of the intake structure.
Small hydro power plant entrance structure is consisted of two entrance fields which are continued by supply sections which supply water to the turbines. Entrance structure is equipped with grids for impurity retention, grid cleaner, slide gates, equipment for detection of grid blockage and equipment for measurement of upper level. Discharge structure, i.e. let-off of the each turbine is equipped with one-piece slide gate.
Beside abovementioned works, the project includes construction of access road, mechanical and hydro-mechanical equipment installation, thermal and mechanical installations, electrical equipment and wirings, as well as technical monitor and survey marking.
