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 interfaces where civil construction must meet hydro-mechanical and electromechanical systems. Experience on both client and contractor sides has given me a practical view of the pressures that shape a project: technical quality, cost, schedule, documentation, and site momentum.
Project management and execution
- Planning and execution of hydropower components from preparation to completion
- Construction schedules, resource planning, and target tracking
- Site management involving materials, machinery, manpower, finances, and daily coordination
- Quality supervision of civil works and verification of contractor quantity bills
Civil and interface works
- Headworks, powerhouse, and headrace-tunnel construction
- Slope protection, soil nailing, leakage-control grouting, stage grouting, and repair work
- Civil coordination around hydro-mechanical and electromechanical interfaces
- Rehabilitation and commissioning support after flood-related damage
