USL Ekspan, as principal contractor for Innogy Renewables UK, successfully delivered complex bearing installation works on Dolgarrog Power Station’s High Head Pipeline.

The High Head Pipeline supported on plinths, approximately 6 km in length, supplies water to the power station enabling the turbines to generate electricity.

The works on this contract, carried out over a period of 6 months, included design, manufacture and installation of:

2 no new pipe sections complete with internal expansion joints
- 6 no pipe bearing spools
- 4 no pipe bearing plinths


Working to critical design criteria and ensuring all stages of installation had prior signed approval made planning key for this project’s timely and successful completion.

A very well executed project even with the challenges of the location’s remote and harsh environment!
