1.5. Pre-requisites

All PowerSpout hydro schemes are assumed to be in the following conditions:

 Run of river (unless advised otherwise).

 Areas free of combustible materials. Assess fire risk of the installation site, and if high

implement extra fire precautions as appropriate. In environments where combustible

materials are present the turbine must be mounted in a concrete or metal enclosure.

 Clean river water that will not corrode aluminium parts (sea water is permitted by special

request only).

 Temperate climate. Do not install in situations where the pipe line may freeze or in

temperatures below -15°C.

 Terrain that can be walked over safely for pipe laying etc. (i.e. no large vertical drops).

The client confirms that the site is unlikely to: slip, have rock falls, flood, earthquake etc.

Where such conditions exist the client has taken appropriate measures.
