Our
expertise
Across the world we are assisting development agencies and government stakeholders harness the full potential of hydropower. Our expertise extends from small hydropower projects through to 8,000 MW major hydroelectric schemes. Through meticulous analysis we evaluate the critical issues related to each location to customise the most appropriate solution.
Providing global expertise with local knowledge and technical support we have delivered some of the world’s largest and most challenging projects including Kameng Hydro Power Station, India, Karot Hydro, Pakistan, the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, Thwake Multi-purpose Water Development Program, Kenya and New Khanki Barrage, Pakistan.
At Snowy 2.0, Australia, we are pioneering new technologies to supercharge existing generation and large-scale storage capabilities to safeguard Australia’s future energy supply. Expected to power the equivalent of half a million homes, Snowy 2.0 will be the second largest pumped hydro project in the world, increasing generation capacity by 2000 MW and providing 175 hours of energy storage.
