Dams and HEPPs
We have successfully completed the planning and design of more than 75 dams and HEPPs since 1996.
Dams and related facilities play a critical role in providing benefits such as supply of potable/industrial and irrigation water, hydro-electricity, and flood control.
BARSU provides all the services required to design a new dam/hydroelectric power plant or to rehabilitate an existing one.
These services are the planning and feasibility studies, field explorations, modeling studies and design and consultancy stages starting from the preliminary design and resulting in detailed design.
BARSU’s dam and hydraulic engineers optimize the use of storage, taking into account water demand, social and environmental concerns along with topography, geology and hydrology in the vicinity of dams and HEPPs.
BARSU closely follows world’s latest developments in dam design with its engineers who are also members of ICOLD and offers its clients modern, reliable, sustainable and innovative solutions.
