Feasibility Studies
We conduct detailed feasibility studies for each project before proceeding with any further development activities. Our team evaluates various factors such as water flow rates at different times of year; topography; environmental impact assessments; regulatory requirements; economic viability analysis among others.
Site Assessments
We carry out site assessments using state-of-the-art equipment such as drones or helicopters equipped with LIDAR technology which provides high-resolution images showing terrain features like slopes or vegetation cover which can affect hydroelectric potentiality significantly.
Design Engineering
Our experienced engineers use advanced software tools like AutoCAD or SolidWorks 3D modeling software along with hydraulic modeling software like HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System) or FLOW-3D (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations which help us to optimize the design of hydroelectric schemes.
Construction Management
We provide construction management services to ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. Our team works closely with contractors and suppliers to ensure that all aspects of the project are executed according to plan.
Commissioning Support
