Hydropower & Dams
Creating solutions lasting generations
Hydropower is essential for delivering sustainable and reliable energy. Our team of Hydropower consultants develop and manage projects, providing a full range of services from initial planning and design to construction and ongoing operation. We understand the importance of harnessing the power of water responsibly.
Our services include the design and engineering of new hydropower facilities, along with the rehabilitation and modernisation of existing infrastructures to boost efficiency and extend operational life. We are also committed to delivering projects that integrate with the natural environment, minimising ecological impact and promoting sustainability.
Extending beyond grid stability, hydropower's ability to respond quickly to changes in demand is essential for maintaining a reliable energy supply. We are also actively involved in developing innovative energy storage solutions—such as pumped storage hydropower—to further optimise the use of renewable resources.
