CIVIL CONSTRUCTION IN HYDRO POWER
Mission
z
Civil construction has a central role to play in the execution of hydro power projects. It is site-specific, hence complex. A number of features determine the
design and construction of hydro power projects. These involve parameters such as geology of the site, hydrology, topography, etc. Detailed studies of hydrology,
including water availability studies, flood studies and collection of historical hydrological and meteorological data are important at the feasibility report stage.
z
The dependence on multiple factors leads to uncertainties in the construction of hydro power projects. This causes time and cost overruns for projects under
construction. Contractual issues are another factor impacting hydro power project timelines and costs. There is a need for projects to adopt sound project
management and contractual practices to minimise these risks.
z
A key concern in recent times has been the risk of flooding of downstream areas, especially in large projects. If the risk is not mitigated, it can lead to local
protests, which can stall projects. This poses challenges in project design and implementation.
z
Key areas in hydro power projects involving civil construction include dams and spillways, intake structures, head race channels, tail race channels, surge tanks
and power houses. Technology developments are being witnessed in construction material and equipment to enhance structural strength, reduce construction
costs and minimise the environmental impact. For instance, synthetic material in fibre-reinforced shotcrete is finding increased adoption in tunneling
applications. The use of roller-compacted concrete in the construction of dams is also increasing as it is more economical and has a shorter construction time.
z
The mission of this conference is to provide a platform to discuss the key issues, challenges and best practices in civil construction of hydro power projects. The
conference will focus on the design aspects, hydrology, trends in equipment and material, and best practices in project management and contract management.
Target Audience
The conference is targeted at:
- Central public sector units
- EPC companies
- State power generating companies
- Construction equipment manufacturers
- Private power producers
- Financiers and investors
- Civil works contractors
- State/Central government agencies
- Tunnel design and construction organisations
- IT and technology solution providers
- Consultancy and design service providers
- Etc.
Organisers
The conference is being organised by India Infrastructure Publishing, a company dedicated to providing information on the infrastructure sectors through
magazines, newsletters, reports and conferences. The company publishes Power Line, Indian Infrastructure and Renewable Watch magazines. It also
publishes a series of research reports on the infrastructure sectors including Hydro Power in India. The company publishes Power News (a weekly
newsletter) and the Power Line Directory and Yearbook.
Delegate Fee
z The delegate fee is Rs 22,500 for one participant, Rs 37,500 for two, Rs 52,500 for three and Rs 67,500 for four.
z There is a special low fee of Rs 5,000 per participant for the state electricity boards and their successor entities, regulatory authorities and academic
institutions.
z A service tax of 12.36 per cent is applicable on the registration fee.
