Features Projects

Marañon, Peru

Marañon River hydro monitoring

Project planning, equipment acquisition, field data collection, and data analysis for topo-bathymetric surveys as part of the ecological flow monitoring for an hydropower project EIA on the Marañón River. Project included combining topographic and bathymetric data sets from multiple sources into one detailed map. A high resolution interpolation map was created to represent cross sections at any point along the river.

Urubamba, Peru

Vilcanota River hydro monitoring

Project planning, equipment acquisition, field data collection, and data analysis for the development of a highly accurate rating curve at the Santa Teresa – Ccollpani Grande hydroelectric plant. The project included the installation of staff gauges, and pressure transducers with data loggers and remote satellite communication. The project included multiple field campaigns to measure the river discharge, and an extensive 40 hour training course for Luz Del Sur staff.

Marañon, Peru

Marañon River hydro monitoring

Project planning, field data collection and data analysis for a fluvial geomorphology study on the Marañón River in the wet and dry seasons. Study included depth integrated hydrokinetic sediment sampling, bedload sampling, bathymetry and ADCP discharge measurements. The study was carried out as part of an EIA for hydropower project. The project included multiple field campaigns and collection of samples from across the entire river section in areas over 70 m wide with no bridge, boat or cable car access.

Peru

Meteorological tower design and installations

Project included the design and installation of 3 “Class A” meteorological monitoring stations at elevations over 4000 meters above sea level in areas of high social sensitivity. The stations are all configured with telecommunications for remote management and fitted with a variety of anti-theft and security measures to ensure the safety of the equipment and operators, including a bespoke lightning protection system.

Project planning, field data collection and data analysis for a hydropower pre-feasibility study.

The project included depth-integrated hydrokinetic sediment sampling, bed load sampling, bathymetry and ADCP discharge measurements. The project included multiple field campaigns to remote sites, and collection of samples across the entire river section in areas over 50 m wide.
