It is expected that the road bridge over the Drava power plant at Edling (L 124 Edlinger Landstraße) will be closed for general refurbishment until November 19, 2021.
A long diversion has been put in place.
The refurbishment includes the construction the construction of new edge beams, drainage facilities, carriageway and the entire sealing as well as the partial renovation/repair of the bridge equipment
We apologise for any inconvenience this necessary action may cause. VERBUND and all contractors will do everything they can to complete the work as quickly as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact project leader Andreas Moser on tel. 050313-33262.

Turbines and generators: Two Kaplan turbines with six impeller blades and a diameter of 5.6 metres produce a total output of 27 MW. The two coupled 45 MVA three-phase synchronous generators have a maximum output of 87,000 kW and are air/water cooled by a heat exchanger.
Transformers: The connection between the power plant and the open-air switchgear is made by two 45 MVA main transformers. The convert the generated energy from 10 kV to 220 kV, which is then conducted to the Obersielach substation. The plant additionally has two 630 kVA transformers for its own needs and a 3 MVA regulating transformer for supplying energy to the pumping stations.
Weir system: Three weir fields with a clear width of 15.04 metres each are designed as welded pressure segment barriers and weir gates, which together have a closure height of 17 metres. Control is via lifting chains, the drive via winches in the adjacent buttresses
Pumping stations: Four pumping stations with a total of eleven boom pumps with vertical shafts and directly mounted drive motors control the water management systems in the polder areas. The stations are controlled automatically by simple float switches, with the activation and deactivation being reported to the power plant control room via a remote communication system.
The Edling power plant was built between 1959 and 1962 and co-financed by KELAG.
