What is Hydromobil® by STPH?
Hydromobil® by STPH is a unique blend of expertise in water pumping and hydromechanical equipment. This project focuses on designing, manufacturing, and installing water pumping stations and hydromechanical devices specifically for hydroelectric facilities. Based in south-west France, Hydromobil® combines innovation, performance, and a deep respect for the environment. The solutions offered are tailored to capture surface water from bodies of water with fluctuating levels, all while blending unobtrusively into natural riverbanks. It’s about smart engineering that works with nature, not against it.

Raw Water Pumping Solutions
One of the core strengths of Hydromobil® lies in its raw water pumping capabilities. The project uses various types of masts — oscillating, submerged oscillating, transfer, and floating water intakes — to capture surface water or draw water at selected levels within open water bodies. These systems are designed to adapt to natural water level variations without causing major disruptions to the environment. The approach is practical and eco-friendly, ensuring water is harvested efficiently while preserving the surrounding ecosystem.
Hydromechanics for Hydroelectric Facilities
Hydromechanical equipment is another pillar of the Hydromobil® project. This includes the design and manufacture of essential components like grid plans, bar screens, valves, and flaps. These elements are critical for the smooth operation of dams and hydroelectric power plants. Built to be robust and high-performing, these devices guarantee long-term reliability and help maintain optimal water flow and safety within hydroelectric infrastructures. It’s all about combining strength with precision engineering.
Notable Achievements Around the World
Hydromobil® by STPH has made its mark globally with several impressive projects. Some highlights include:
- A massive sector valve measuring 11 x 16 meters installed in Ivory Coast
