RusHydro completes stabilization work on Zagorskaya 2 pumped-storage plant

摘要

Russian energy giant JSC RusHydro has completed stabilization work on the Zagorskaya 2 pumped-storage plant. HydroWorld.com reports that erosion of foundation soil under the 840 MW plant was caused by the "inefficient performance" of its impervious system after workers noticed water seeping into Zagorskaya 2's turbine room. The turbine room and other areas were flooded via broken expansion joints and intakes of unfinished water pipes, caused by soil erosion that made the building sag.
