Abstract

The Flexible Sandtraps (FlekS) project has been a four-year research project on upgrading of existing pressurized
sandtraps in operational hydropower plants. Upgrading of existing sandtraps have several challenges compared
with construction of new sandtraps; (i) limitations imposed by the existing infrastructure and (ii) the need to
limit downtime to avoid production losses. The purpose of FlekS has thus been to develop cost-efficient solutions
that can be installed with limited downtime to retrofit existing sandtraps in operational hydropower
plants.
