A staff of experienced specialists and means adapted
Mr. Pierre BONVALLET has a know-how, as well for turbines as for barrage gates, which was acquired through 16 years spent in the company of the Establishment C DUMONT in PONT de ST Uze as a person in charge of the engineering and design department for barrage gates and water turbines and 21 years in his own business, the company B.P. Etudes; he represents as an expert a pillar of B.P. Etudes.
Mr. Vincent DUPUIS, qualified engineer of the high school of hydraulics and mechanics in Grenoble acquired an experience in design of equipments for hydro power plants and in dimensioning of the works during his 7 years spent by a manufacturer well known in the hydroelectric field. His activity brought him to visit a few hundreds of hydroelectric power stations in many countries, and to manage many projects for renovation/automatisation of turbines. His technical knowledge and his experience of logistics to export enabled him to conclude projects of several million euros.
Several technicians and engineers (specialists in mechanical calculation, designers...) ensure the capacity to produce of the engineering office.
The many references of realization, study, and assistance make it possible to estimate the technical capability of B.P. Etudes.
B.P. Etudes has also the ability of having a technical support near companies partners, in particular in the fields of the civil engineering, electricity and the automatisation.
B.P Etudes has an important bibliographical resource available, of which in particular many books about hydraulics and the main standards used (like DIN standards and CM66).
B.P. Etudes uses for the design and realization engineering mainly the software of Autodesk (Autocad Mechanical and Inventor), 2D and 3D, in the most recent releases.
For the dimensioning and the justification of the mechanical structures with beams and plates, B.P. Etudes does the calculation by the finite elements method with the software ICAB version 5.
