Hydropower & Energy

Civil works for run-of-river schemes, substations and transmission infrastructure in remote terrain.

Overview

Energy projects are logistics problems before they are construction problems. Access roads, camp establishment, fuel and cement supply and the monsoon calendar determine what is achievable in a season — so they are planned first.

Our scope covers headworks, waterway and powerhouse civil structures, plus the balance-of-plant works around substations and transmission infrastructure, coordinated with the electro-mechanical contractor's programme.

Capabilities

  • Access roads, camps and construction power for remote sites
  • Diversion weirs, intakes, desanding basins and gates civils
  • Headrace canals, tunnels support works and forebays
  • Penstock foundations, anchor and saddle blocks
  • Powerhouse substructure, superstructure and tailrace
  • Substation civil works, foundations and cable trenching
  • Transmission tower foundations and access tracks

  • Small and micro-hydro schemes
  • Substation and switchyard civil works
  • Transmission line foundations and access
  • Solar plant civil and structural works
Delivery process

How the work is sequenced.

Every stage has a defined output and a named owner. Nothing moves to the next stage on assumption.

  1. 01

    Access and logistics plan

    Route survey, material staging strategy, camp layout and a seasonal programme that accounts for monsoon shutdown.

  2. 02

    Enabling works

    Access track construction, slope protection, construction power and water, stores and workshop establishment.

  3. 03

    Headworks and waterway

    River diversion, weir and intake construction, desanding structures and waterway works to hydraulic tolerance.

  4. 04

    Powerhouse and balance of plant

    Powerhouse civils, penstock supports and tailrace, sequenced against the electro-mechanical installation programme.

  5. 05

    Testing and commissioning support

    Wet testing support, punch-list closure, site restoration and as-built documentation for the asset owner.

Equipment & expertise

What we bring to site.

  • Remote-site self-sufficiency: camp, workshop, fuel and stores
  • Concrete batching on site with laboratory control
  • Rock slope protection, shotcrete and rock bolting coordination
  • Interface management with electro-mechanical and hydro-mechanical contractors
  • Geotechnical monitoring in unstable terrain

Quality & safety

The controls that apply to this work.

  • Flash-flood and slope-failure emergency response plans specific to each site
  • Working-at-height and confined-space permit systems
  • Site medical provision and documented evacuation routes for remote camps
  • Environmental controls on spoil disposal, sediment and river water quality
