Abstract: |
The pressure tunnels of Alpine hydropower stations have been designed for a long lifetime and often give good service for long periods, making no further measures necessary except for regular maintenance. But in some pressure tunnels, damage to the lining has been discovered after some decades of use and this leads to repair works of varying extent. The article gives an overview of the damage patterns and the repairs, with serveral examples. |
