The earthquakes, which caused a catastrophe in Myanmar and Thailand, were also noticeable in the mother of the Ottenstein energy power plant -Althans for the very sensitive measuring devices that follow the mighty wall.
With a strength of 7.7, the earthquake – as reported – has large parts of Southeast – Asia on Friday. But although the epicenter was in the tens of thousands of kilometers away in Mandalay in Myanmar, the strong shock was felt for the energetic heart of the Waldviertel in the Zwettl district. Immediately after the first bad messages, the EVN experts hurried to the hanging engines in the dam of the Ottenstein energy plant.
The smallest changes are registered
“Our measuring instruments are so fine calibrated that they register the lowest vibrations themselves,” says the head of the communication of the blue-yellow energy supplier, Stefan Zach, while with the local inspections in the past, he proudly refers to the fine sensors according to Schokken in Turkey and Marocco. “The distance to the sensors in the wall changes itself by the best shocks. These are registered.”
Wall was checked precisely
Nevertheless, he can quickly give everything -“One Wall does not have the best crack.” The fact that the water masses press against the concrete wall outside cannot be felt deep inside. The EVN team is retained the position and the clock around 73 million cubic meters of water is thawed from the mighty wall. Zach’s condolences now apply to the family members of the victims of the earthquake!
