Hydro and Underground business vertical covers dams and barrages, tunnels (including large road tunnels), underground works, water and irrigation, and related infrastructure
While we have more than a decade of experience in this business vertical, we have delivered projects in newer sub-segments, such as irrigation and water supply, in recent years
We have executed 12 projects (in aggregate) in the tunnels, irrigation and hydro works sub-segments.
We have constructed over 50 km of underground tunnels through the ‘New Austrian Tunnelling Method’ (“NATM”), an innovative method in which the geological stress of the surrounding rock mass is used to stabilise the tunnel
We were the 18th largest international contractor in the transmission and aqueducts segment as per the 2023 ENR (Engineering News-Record, US) Top International Contractors rankings based on International Revenue for the Financial Year 2023
