FAQS

Hydropower intakes can be clogged by logs, branches, vegetation and aquatic plants found in the river like hyacinth, including man-made trash. This often happens during flooding periods. These materials can obstruct intake structures, reduce water flow, lower generation efficiency and increase maintenance needs if not properly managed with effective debris control systems.

Ecocoast’s barriers are highly scalable and adaptable to different hydropower sites worldwide. Their customized floating barrier systems have been successfully implemented at diverse locations, such as hydropower plants in Rwanda and Belgium, by tailoring engineering solutions to each site’s specific conditions, water levels and operational needs. This approach allows effective debris control and protection at a wide range of hydropower facilities.

Ecocoast barriers are engineered to minimize environmental impact by using sustainable materials, such as fully recyclable, foam-free designs that significantly reduce raw material use and carbon footprint. Their barriers, like the Ecobarrier Silt Curtain Green, contain silt and sediment, prevent marine ecosystem disruption and support compliance with environmental regulations, all while maintaining high performance and durability.

Ecocoast can implement a debris control system rapidly, often delivering turnkey solutions from site assessment to installation within a short timeframe, depending on project complexity and site conditions. Their engineering-driven approach, including custom design and on-site evaluation, ensures efficient deployment and immediate improvement in debris management for critical infrastructure like hydropower plants.

A custom-engineered solution is needed instead of an off-the-shelf barrier because every hydropower site has unique environmental, operational and debris challenges that standard products cannot fully address. Custom barriers are tailored to specific site conditions, such as water flow, debris types and intake design, ensuring maximum protection, efficiency and reduced maintenance needs, which off-the-shelf options often fail to deliver.

Yes. The Rwanda case study highlights multiple cost-saving benefits:

  • Reduced manual intervention -The boom captures debris before it reaches the intake, cutting labor needs and reducing safety risks.
  • Minimized downtime-Preventing unplanned outages and boosting consistent power generation.
  • Extended equipment lifespan-Less debris impact means lower wear on intake infrastructure.

The Bolina Log Screen Boom features robust, interlinked mesh panels that extend below the water surface to capture both floating and submerged debris. Swivel connectors allow flexible installation and adaptation to changing water levels. Its durable construction and high visibility make it ideal for protecting hydropower intakes from a wide range of debris while minimizing maintenance.
