SERVICES
Technical inspection of engineering facilities and hydraulic engineering structures, on-site hydraulic measurements, calibration of measuring structures
Based on its employees’ vast experiences, VITUKI Hungary Ltd carries out regular technical inspections of hydraulic engineering structures. Tracking changes ensures the continuous and safe operation of the structures, as well as the early sensing of potential malfunctions and the economical implementation of maintenance and intervention works. Our main activities include regular and periodic technical inspections of river barrages, dams, ship locks, sluices, structures across levees and hydroelectric power plants.
The inspection work consists of:
- stability investigations (investigation of relative and absolute motions)
- hydraulic investigations (investigation of riverbed changes and flow conditions)
- investigation of pressurized systems (flow parameters, pressure conditions, discharge measurements)
- material testing (checking state and testing strength).
Water management and environmental protection planning
- Elaboration of municipal water damage control plans
- Sizing and designing the downstream beds and damping pools of large river structures and emergency reservoirs by identifying the flow requirements of bed stability
- Elaboration of environmental impact studies, strategic environmental evaluations, elaboration of the environmental protection chapters of municipal development plans
- Compilation of environmental an legal licensing documents
Numerical modelling (hydrodynamic, hydrological)
- Development and application of hydrodynamic and river morphological models (1D, 2D, 3D) for analyzing flow and bed morphological processes in surface waters under low-, mean- and high-water conditions.
- Development and application of transport models (1D, 2D, 3D) for analyzing mixing processes in surface waters (heat loads from power plants and from thermal water uses, transport of suspended sediment and bedload, transport and reaction-kinetics of nutrients, toxic substances etc.).
