Major hydro project in Alsace

Landustrie Weir Steinsau Alsace 1 845x321

Steinsau weir, Erstein (F)

The existing Steinsau weir on the River Ill near Erstein will be equipped with six pieces of LANDY hydropower jacks.
Dating from the late 19th century, the weir prevents the downstream regions of Erstein and Strasbourg from flooding during high tides. Part of the restoration and renovation of the weir is the installation of auger turbines to generate renewable energy.

In the tender issued by ACAL (Région Alsace Champagne-Ardenne Lorraine), the innovative design of the Landustrie hydropower jacks was decisive. The jacks will each generate about 30 kW of energy at a capacity of 3 m³/sec and a gradient of 1.4 metres. Commissioning of the hydropower plant will begin in mid-2017.

For Landustrie, this is now the seventh hydropower project in France in which a total of 16 hydropower jacks have been delivered.

Bsp Cast Iron

New pump series tested

The new range of dry-mounted pumps with cutting device has been tested. These are the pump types BSP 22-05 and BSP 22-08. The test results are positive and the pump efficiency is equal to the renowned submersible pump, also known as the Wetterfretter (DSP type). These pumps with cutting device cut the solids in the wastewater into small particles, which are then pumped through the pipework (dia. 32 mm) without any problems.

Three Hundred Minerals Renovated

Three hundred mini-grids renovated

On Thursday 9 November 2020, the renovated 300 mini pumping stations commissioned by the Municipality of Leusden went into operation. Working closely with social employment service Amfors Groep, Landustrie renovated the controls of these mini pumping stations in the municipality. On the basis of demo cabinets supplied by Landustrie, Amfors' metal company (Metafors) realised the switchboxes and the corresponding outdoor installation cabinets. Old switchboxes were dismantled by them and carefully separated, checked and recycled where possible. The proceeds from the recycling were donated to KiKa.
