Turnkey Solution for Hydropower

Harnessing the power of water requires a unique synthesis of civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. EPS leverages its proven track record and deep expertise to deliver complete turnkey hydropower solutions. We manage every intricate detail, from the initial feasibility of harnessing a river’s potential to the final moment the plant is synchronized to the grid, providing a dependable source of clean, baseload power.

Comprehensive Feasibility and Design

Our process starts with in-depth hydrological studies and topographic surveying to accurately assess the energy potential. We then develop the optimal design configuration, deciding on the type of plant (run-of-river, storage), selecting appropriate turbine technology (Pelton, Francis, Kaplan), and designing all civil structures: weirs, intakes, headrace canals, penstocks, and powerhouses. Our designs prioritize environmental sustainability, efficiency, and longevity.

Civil Works and Electro-Mechanical Procurement

We manage the complex and often challenging civil construction phase, overseeing contractors to ensure the highest quality construction of dams, tunnels, and structures. Concurrently, we manage the global procurement of all critical electro-mechanical equipment—turbines, generators, governors, switchgear, and control systems—ensuring all components are engineered to work in perfect harmony for maximum efficiency and reliability.

Installation, Commissioning, and Operations

Our mechanical and electrical engineers supervise the precise installation and alignment of turbines and generators. We then lead the integrated testing and commissioning process, including filling the system, testing under pressure, and gradually bringing the unit up to speed. We perform all performance tests to verify output meets guarantees before handing over a fully operational, revenue-generating power plant, complete with operator training and documentation, as demonstrated by our success with projects like New Bong Escape.
