The Tâmega Gigabattery project, which incorporates MACOGA Expansion Joints, has been officially inaugurated
The largest clean energy project in Portugal's history and one of the largest energy storage facilities in Europe has been officially inaugurated.
The Tâmega Hydroelectric Complex represents the biggest hydropower project in the history of Portugal and, furthermore, is one of the European energy sector’s most important initiatives of the last 25 years.
MACOGA has participated in the project, designing, manufacturing and supplying critical large diameter and high-pressure Expansion Joints.
MRR Reinforced
- Nominal Size: 4600 mm
- Type: Single unrestrained reinforced
- Design Pressure: 12 barg
- Test Pressure: 18 barg
- Operating Temperature: +40/-5 °C
MWA Single unreinforced
- Nominal Size: 2000 mm
- Type: Single unrestrained unreinforced
