Measurment and control solutions

Dams may be designed to provide more than one service. In developing countries, dams are often constructed as multi-purpose facilities, which – especially for large projects – contribute to the development of infrastructure and an improvement in living standards.

Dams are very complex structures, the design of which is not only influenced by the scheme’s actual technical functions but also by various other boundary conditions. Influencing factors such as geological conditions, earthquakes and floods, the availability of construction material, as well as environmental and social issues play a decisive role in the design process.

Our company has acquired extensive experience in the development and implementation of dam projects and it is owing to our profound knowledge and high technical standard that our clients consider us a competent partner in this field.
