Master Drilling Europe is proud to announce our involvement in an ambitious hydroelectric power project set in the Austrian Alps. Building upon the success of our previous work in Kühtai, this project involves drilling two parallel shafts with diameters of 2 meters, reaching impressive depths of 254 meters and 37 meters. The goal is to increase water flow efficiency and contribute to Austria’s renewable energy goals. The project setting in the Alps presented challenges, but our specialised expertise ensured a successful outcome.
We deployed two state-of-the-art drilling machines to execute the parallel shafts simultaneously. Leveraging our extensive raise boring expertise, we ensured precision and stability throughout the project. Our experienced local team combined cutting-edge equipment with adaptive techniques to navigate the difficult alpine conditions. Environmental sustainability was a top priority and our focus on minimising disruptions meant the local ecosystem remained undisturbed while delivering efficient solutions. Through close collaboration with stakeholders, we tailored our solutions to meet project requirements under tight timelines.
Master Drilling successfully delivered the parallel shafts as specified, contributing to the enhancement of the hydroelectric power facility’s operational capacity. The project improved water flow management, increasing the efficiency of energy generation. Our meticulous approach ensured structural integrity, safety and alignment with environmental objectives, demonstrating Master Drilling’s capabilities in handling large-scale projects in complex geographies. This project reinforces our reputation as a trusted partner for sustainable energy initiatives across Europe.
