Dams, Hydropower & Reservoirs

Dams, Hydropower & Reservoirs operate under extreme hydrostatic loads and often cannot be shut down or drained for repairs. This solution is focused on safely stopping leaks in these critical structures, stabilizing concrete, and extending asset life without compromising generation or water supply.

We combine deep injection, structural repair, and tailored waterproofing systems that perform under high pressure, aggressive water chemistry, and complex access conditions.

Problems We Solve

Dams, Hydropower & Reservoirs need to operate safely under extreme pressure, often without the option of draining or shutting down. We focus on the leak and deterioration scenarios that threaten that reliability.

• Leaks in galleries, valve chambers, spillways, and penstock access tunnels below or near water level.
• Water ingress through construction and expansion joints in dams, intake towers, and associated structures.
• Concrete cracking, spalling, and reinforcement corrosion driven by aggressive or fluctuating water conditions.
• Situations where reservoirs cannot be lowered, or plant operations cannot be stopped for conventional repair.

How We Fix It

We design methods and materials around your specific structure, operating regime, and safety constraints.

• Perform leak mapping and access planning to understand water paths and safe working methods.
• Use high‑pressure gel injection to displace water and create elastic, non‑shrinking barriers within cracks, joints, and surrounding concrete.
• Carry out concrete repair and gallery rehabilitation where sections are structurally compromised.
• Integrate with expansion joint sealing, crystalline waterproofing, and protective systems that maintain movement and regulatory compliance.

Where This Is Used

This solution serves dam and hydropower owners who need proven methods under real‑world constraints.

• Concrete dams and spillways under constant reservoir pressure.
• Hydropower plants, galleries, and turbine halls that must remain operational.
• Intake towers, penstocks, surge chambers, and associated water infrastructure.

Ideal Customer

Dam owners, hydropower utilities, and operators of large water infrastructure who must maintain safe, continuous operation under regulatory scrutiny and cannot easily take assets offline for conventional repairs.

Typical Project Profile

Concrete dams, spillways, galleries, and hydropower structures with active leaks or aging concrete, where access is challenging, water levels cannot be significantly reduced, and long‑term reliability is mission‑critical.

If you operate dams or hydropower assets with active leaks or aging concrete, we can plan and execute a repair program that restores watertightness and structural reliability—without draining reservoirs or taking critical components offline.
