EXPERTISE
Maintaining hydropower facilities can be expensive and time-consuming, and is driven by a number of factors, including the age of the plant, existing operational practices, and the number of personnel needed to run the facility securely and optimally.
Our team of experts are able to provide a comprehensive range of operational and maintenance support services, throughout the lifecycle of the facility, including assessments of existing plants and due diligence, feasibility studies for hydropower projects, plant rehabilitation and upgrading projects, and supervision of construction and electro-mechanical equipment installation.
In addition, we supervise plant commissioning, conduct analyses of the safety conditions of dams, penstocks and appurtenant structures, and carry out any remedial works, heavy maintenance and troubleshooting that is needed.
Our team at HOI is also thoroughly versed in measurement and diagnostics, environmental issues, sediment management, hydrological assessment, geological/geotechnical considerations, climate change and socio-economic studies.
