China’s 13,860 MW Xiluodu hydropower plant was recently connected into the country’s power grid. Located on the Jinsha River in central Sichuan Province, Xiluodu will be the world’s third-largest hydropower plant, after China’s Three Gorges and Brazil’s Itaipu, when it is fully completed in 2015. Work on the dam started in 2003, and since 2005 GEOKON has shipped much of the instrumentation required for the project. Instruments included Extensometers, Vibrating Wire Strain Gages, Vibrating Wire Piezometers, Vibrating Wire Displacement Transducers, Vibrating Wire Load Cells and Vibrating Wire Concrete Stressmeters.
