Rugged Reliability
This is the foundation of our new American Hydro turbine design. Experienced engineers know the pitfalls and never compromise on structural integrity. Hydro turbines have to work and they have to last.
American Hydro starts from this foundation. It is precisely our comprehensive knowledge of turbine design which allows us to apply new technologies and innovate. We innovate to reduce your overall project costs and to improve your revenues. Whether you need your propeller unit converted to a Kaplan runner, your Francis unit replaced, or you’re looking to improve fish passage or increase dissolved oxygen in the water downstream of your plant, American Hydro can build the hydro equipment you need to be successful.
Turbines
Kaplan runners, propellers, Francis turbines, pump-turbines: American Hydro can supply the turbine or the complete equipment package. Our technology enhances your revenues. Our experience ensures your success.
From new bearing materials to improved wicket gate linkage to modernizing electrical control systems, our turbine upgrade and rehabilitation programs will extend the life of your equipment and create more capacity and efficiency within the layout of your hydro plant. We take a knowledgeable approach to every turbine upgrade and installation with the goal of giving your plant new life.

New Units
Whether it’s new horizontal or vertical units or a Seagull turbine, American Hydro can use our design technology to solve your difficult problems.
Seagull Turbines
American Hydro’s Seagull™ turbine is a perfect combination of advanced technology, innovative design and rugged construction.
Working with our first Seagull turbine customer we developed a high performance, low maintenance unit which could replace antiquated quad-runner turbines. To be economically feasible the new turbine had to achieve high capacity with no change to the basic open-flume powerhouse layout. Our Seagull turbines have proven themselves as extremely robust, low maintenance units. They are workhorses which produce outstanding annual revenues.
Generator Upgrades & Replacement
American Hydro has a dedicated systems engineering group that coordinates with key partners to support generator upgrades, replacements, interconnections, and balance-of-plant requirements. Our capabilities are scaled to meet growing demand for generator solutions across a range of project needs. From rehabilitation projects and component design and manufacturing to complete generator replacements, American Hydro provides full oversight throughout the process.
