Dam/Hydro Construction

At ECI, we understand the critical importance of maintaining and rehabilitating dam infrastructure. Our repair and rehabilitation services are designed to extend the life of existing structures, ensuring their continued safety and functionality. ECI has extensive expertise in dam stability, including post-tensioned anchors and strand anchors, concrete repair, spillway modifications, erosion control, and much more. From concrete repair to erosion control, our team is equipped to handle all aspects of dam rehabilitation with precision and care.

Foundation grouting is a key component in ensuring the stability and longevity of dams and hydroelectric facilities. Our specialized grouting techniques are used to fill voids, reduce permeability, and strengthen the foundation, preventing water seepage and structural failure. ECI’s foundation grouting services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, providing a solid foundation for lasting performance.

ECI is committed to advancing the efficiency and reliability of hydroelectric power systems. Our expertise in hydro-power construction includes the construction or modification of intakes and outlets, installation and maintenance of penstocks, and general maintenance of turbine systems.  Whether you’re upgrading an existing facility or building a new hydro-power plant, our team delivers solutions that maximize energy output and operational efficiency.

Gates play a vital role in controlling water flow within dams and hydroelectric facilities. ECI offers comprehensive gate installation and maintenance services, ensuring optimal performance and durability. We specialize in the following types of gates:

Radial Gates: Ideal for spillway control, radial gates are designed to handle large volumes of water with precision. ECI’s radial gate services include installation, maintenance, and repairs to ensure reliable operation under all conditions.

Slide Gates: Slide gates provide precise water flow control and are commonly used in intakes and outlets. Our team ensures the correct installation and maintenance of slide gates to maintain optimal water management.

Crest Gates: Crest gates are used to control impoundment pool elevations for spillways. Our team has successfully installed a variety of systems, including trip gates and complex Obermeyer Hydro pneumatically actuated gates.

Seals: Seals are essential for preventing water leakage in gates. ECI provides comprehensive sealing solutions that ensure gates operate efficiently, reducing maintenance costs and extending the life of the infrastructure.
