With this new hydraulic laboratory ANDRITZ HYDRO INEPAR is able to test the full range of turbine types with low, medium and high heads. The lab is operated by ANDRITZ HYDRO INEPAR and is a very important benchmark for the Brazilian engineer- ing. The lab design and mechani- cal equipment was developed and fabricated locally in Brazil. It is based on the general concepts of ANDRITZ HYDRO laboratories, installed all over the world. Developed by the local team of engineers, the lab control system offers plenty of resources that permit the automation of higher level tests. This fact will lead Araraquara to become the hydraulic engineering industrial pole centre in Brazil.

The existing building could no longer meet this growing demand.

The opening ceremony of the new office building took place on Feb- ruary 11, 2011. It was attended by numerous guests from business, politics and science as well as by the board of Andritz AG, the man- agement of ANDRITZ HYDRO and all employees. Within one year, an existing warehouse on the company’s premises has been converted to a modern office building for 320 work- ing places. The main focus of the new building was the perfect combi- nation between functionality and rep- resentation. Special emphasis was given to the creation of modern and ergonomic working conditions for all employees.

The outdoor area has been realized according to the best ideas of an internal company competition. In the reception area water is flowing con- tinuously over a granite wall. Through a channel covered with glass plates it is diverted to the outside in a larger basin where it moves a Fran- cis runner. The new building guaran- tees the optimum conditions for future
