Dams & Hydropower
With LaBella’s breadth of specialized engineering services, you can be sure of your project team before you’re sure of your scope.
Most Hydropower facility owners and operators are faced with more regulatory requirements, and fewer qualified staff to initiate and manage the projects that will keep you in compliance.
In those cases, delivery of a set of technical drawings, no matter how good, is a long way from a turnkey solution. If what you really need are experienced colleagues, armed with modernization and construction know-how, consider working with the LaBella Dam & Hydropower team.
Our technical solutions are enhanced by our long-standing owner extension of staff services. Which means we can develop, design, and manage your projects all the way through construction and commissioning. The result? Our team as your colleagues. Fewer consultants. Projects powered by partnership.
