Experience in Dam and Reservoir work has been until recently mainly related to
embankment dams but with the Son La Hydropower Project my experience has
widened to include RCC dams. This 138 m high RCC gravity dam is part of what is
currently the largest Hydropower Project in South East Asia and will form the
reservoir supplying a 2 400 MW capacity power station.
Experience in embankment dams has included design of new dams ranging from 8 m
high to 95 m high, dam safety programmes and inspections. Experience in
Operation and Maintenance and Asset Management has also been included. Some of
the dams on which design work and supervision of construction has been carried
out are shown below
Experience also in non-impounding reservoirs including HDPE liners, diaphragm
walls etc.

In addition to design, review panels, inspections and certification projects
have included Due Diligence Reviews of contracts for major dam projects on
behalf of International Lending Agencies. These included reviews of contracts
for two large dams on the Lesotho Highlands Water Project following accusations
of corruption within the undertaking authority.
The new dam projects have also included the spillways and two are illustrated
below.
