Hydropower construction has been the centre of my professional life. I have worked on site as a civil engineer and project manager, taking responsibility for execution, coordination, quality, quantities, schedules, and the constant judgement calls that come with building in difficult terrain.

The work has taken me through headworks, powerhouse structures, tunnels, slope protection, grouting, rehabilitation after flood damage, and the delicate interfaces where civil construction has to meet hydro-mechanical and electromechanical systems. I have worked from both client and contractor sides, which has made me more aware of the full pressure of a project: technical quality, cost, schedule, documentation, and site momentum all pulling at the same time.

Project management and execution

  • Planning and execution of hydropower components from preparation to completion
  • Construction schedules, timelines, resource planning, and target tracking
  • Site management involving material, machinery, manpower, finances, and daily coordination
  • Quality supervision of civil works and verification of contractor quantity bills

Civil and interface works

  • Headworks and powerhouse construction
  • Head race tunnel work and tunneling execution
  • Slope protection, soil nailing, leakage control grouting, stage grouting, and repair works
  • Civil coordination around hydro-mechanical and electromechanical interfaces
  • Rehabilitation and commissioning support after flood-related project damage
