Hydro Power

Transproject has been in the hydropower business for over 15 years with experience in large and small hydroelectric projects in Latin America and with extensive experience of its team in Latin America, Africa and Asia. This experience includes storage projects plants, river diversion projects and pumped storage projects. Hydropower development covers all aspects required for complete realization of the hydroelectric centrals as: resource identification and evaluation, financial services, environmental impact assessments and permitting, project management, site investigations, feasibility studies, basic and detailed engineering design, site supervision, commissioning and asset management.

Hydropower projects are Greenfields missions and renewable energy technologies, providing energy supply which is some of the most viable and environmentally responsible solutions. Also the developments of hydro, renewable, green energy sources are more cost-effective than all other renewable, and a lot more cost-effective than fossil fuel, energies sources, considering short and sometime large time terms. This is why the world continues its move to hydropower energy all around the globe.

Storage Hydropower Plant

Transproject provide all the engineering and environmental services required to complete the full scope of storage hydro facilities, including extensive reservoir and dam design experience with all major dam types: Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams, Roller Compacted Concrete Dams, Mass Gravity and Stepped Spillway Dams, Earth Embankment Dams, Membrane Dams and Multi-Arch Concrete Dams

“River Diversion” (“Run-of-River”) Hydropower Plant

River Diversion (o Run-of –river) hydroelectricity is a type of hydropower generation whereby the natural flow and elevation drop of a river are used to generate electricity. There are no major storage facilities or flooded areas Transproject´s water basin planning capability allows the consideration of multiple water uses and coordinated operations of multiple hydroelectric run-of-river facilities.

Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plant

A pumped-storage plant uses two reservoirs, one located at a much higher elevation than the other. During periods of low demand for electricity, such as nights and weekends, energy is stored by reversing the turbines and pumping water from the lower to the upper reservoir. The stored water can later be released to turn the turbines and generate electricity as it flows back into the lower reservoir. Transproject’s team has the experience and dedication to help you identify opportunities and realize your pumped storage hydro goals in a cost effective and sustainable manner.
