HYDROPLUS

We believe in sustainable development, driven by a culture of innovation and respect for water as one of the world’s (planets) most vital resources. We develop innovative, sustainable, and environmentally friendly solutions for dams’ spillways and hydraulic structures, that enhance safety, provide more water, and enable more clean energy generation. Fusegate® are the embodiment of this vision.

Customised innovations for your hydraulic structures

Hydroplus embodies values of innovation, sustainability, and safety by offering advanced technical solutions for water resource management while committing to reducing the environmental impact of its projects.

Our teams will be with you before and throughout your entire project

Green technologies that protect the environment and serve people

Hydroplus has been repeatedly recognized for its excellence, receiving prestigious awards such as the National Rehabilitation Project of the Year Award and the Diamond Awards for Engineering Excellence, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and quality in water resource management.

The Hydroplus classical fusegate systems enable the storage capacity of reservoir dams to be quickly and effectively increased, without deteriorating, or even improving, the safety of the dams in the event of extreme floods. 

The Hydroplus fusegate systems enable the useful life of dams that have lost their storage capacity due to sedimentation to be quickly and effectively extended, without deteriorating, or even improving, the safety of the dams in the event of extreme flooding. 

Hydroplus fusegate systems enable the safety of dams to be quickly and effectively increased in the event of extreme floods. 

The Hydroplus fusegate system installed in addition to the electromechanical gates allows a failure of these gates to be mitigated, hence preserving the dam's safety against extreme floods. 

Classical fusegates enable exceptional floods of rivers to be deflected towards retention basins to protect the population and infrastructures downstream against flooding. 

The Fusegate The fusegate, invented and ceaselessly perfected by Hydroplus, is a robust and tried-and-tested solution, installed around the world. Its development has been subject to extensive testing in order to guarantee reliable operation in all circumstances, including in extreme conditions. 

This fusegate device based on the same triggering principles as the Classical Fusegate is not dragged by the flood but rather it disappears downwards like a valve. It can be set back in place manually by the operator after the flood has passed. 

Urra dam is the first Fusegate application in Latin America.

The Fusegates are 6,50m (21.33 ft) high, which make them the highest ever built.

The spillway remediation project dam is located in Southeastern United States.

Fusegates® reliable and cost-effective solution provided the increased reservoir capacity without changing environmental footprint of the dam.

The purpose of the rehabilitation works included increasing the water storage capacity of the reservoir by 55% and improving spillway dis-charge potential to meet the new 1:100,000 AEP food requirements.

58 reinforced concrete prefabricated Fusegate® units, of labyrinth type, have been installed in the spillway.

To increase the spillway discharge capacity, the dam owner chose the best technical and financial solution : to lower the spillway crest and install Fusegates® in order to keep the same storage capacity.

Project features include the main dam, saddle dam, gated spillway and new auxiliary spillway equipped with semi-labyrinth shaped reinforced concrete Fusegates

Two different types of Fusegates®, straight & labyrinth, have been retrofitted on both the main and the auxiliary spillways.

Fusegates involved significant savings in construction and maintenance costs.

Fusegate's reliable and cost effective solution provided the increased reservoir capacity without changing environmental footprint of the dam.

This is the first river safety application achieved in France by Hydroplus.
