Major hydroelectric civil works generate large volumes of sediment-laden and construction-contact water close to sensitive river systems. Treatment must be high-capacity and protective of the receiving environment.
Water treatment for TBM slurry, groundwater and construction runoff on underground projects.
Treating variable groundwater ingress before consented discharge or reuse.
Mobile, factory-tested treatment plants for rapid deployment to constrained sites.
Water management for hydroelectric civil works — dams, penstocks and underground powerhouses — with high-capacity dewatering and environmental protection. It is here because hydro schemes move large water volumes through sensitive catchments where discharge quality is closely scrutinised. Diversion tunnels, surge shafts and powerhouse caverns each generate their own dewatering and concrete-contact water streams, often at high flow. Our systems are sized for those peaks and engineered to protect downstream rivers and reservoirs, where ecological sensitivity and abstraction interests make discharge quality a central permitting issue.
Dam, penstock and powerhouse excavation produce high volumes of sediment-laden water requiring high-capacity treatment.
Discharge to pristine river systems imposes strict turbidity, pH and ecological limits.
Extensive grouting and concreting generate strongly alkaline contact water.
Sediment basins followed by coagulated lamella clarification remove fine, slow-settling solids at scale.
CO2 and acid dosing neutralise alkaline grout and concrete-contact water to river-discharge limits.
Online turbidity and pH monitoring protect the receiving water and evidence compliance.
High-capacity lamella and conventional clarifiers for major civil works.
Robust pH-correction systems for sustained alkaline loads.
Environmental instrumentation and automated control for unattended, compliant operation.
