Rapid replacement of the cylinder rod resulted in minimal downtime

- Servi, originally known as Servi Cylinderservice, utilized the original drawings to manufacture a new cylinder rod during the summer holiday. Access to the original drawings ensured minimal downtime for the hatch – without them, we could have faced a month of downtime. - Geir Åsbjørn Ovedal, VTA at Sira Kvina Power Company

What the assignment consisted of:

• New stainless steel cylinder rod for the spillway gate
• Construct a frame that was used for helicopter transport and simultaneously ensure a safe way to mount the new rod without damage
• Service on the hydraulic power unit
• Complete cleaning with the replacement of parts, as pointed out in the service report

Before and After: The old cylinder rod on the left – for the tap hatch at Øyervann Dam. It has been cut and dismantled. The new stainless steel cylinder rod is mounted.
