"PLANNING AND DESIGN OF HYDROPOWER TUNNELS IN HIMALAYAN GEOLOGY "


The International Centre for Hydropower (ICH), Norway and Hydro lab, Nepal in association with Nepal Tunnelling Association (NTA) proudly invite you to a national workshop titled "Planning and Design of Hydropower Tunnels in Himalayan Geology" to be held in Kathmandu, Nepal. This workshop offers you, within the framework of lectures, laboratory experiments and field excursions, better insight in planning and design of tunnels and other underground structures for hydropower projects and it also oversees mitigation of underground works related problems. Senior professionals involved with hydropower tunnel design will share their experiences through lectures, field visits and laboratory test demonstrations. The knowledge gained from the workshop is expected to be beneficial for the planning and design of tunnels in fragile Himalayan geological terrain.

Are you developing hydropower/water resources projects in steep sediment-loaded Himalayan Rivers? If yes, feel free to contact us. We can assist you in preventing from investment failure by carrying out physical hydraulic model studies.

Hydro Lab is the only research organisation in Nepal having experience and expertise in physical hydraulic model studies.

Hydro Lab welcomes developers, engineers, researchers, bankers and investors to visit the lab. Our past and on going works are ready for demonstration.

Hydro Lab has expertise in sediment studies, hydro turbine efficiency measurement and hydrometry.

Sediment Management in RoR Hydropower Projects, 2022

An international workshop with the theme “Planning & Design of Hydropower Headworks in Sediment Loaded Rivers” was organised at Kathmandu, Nepal on 03 - 08 November 2022. The workshop was jointly organized by Hydro Lab, Nepal and International Centre for Hydropower (ICH), Norway. It was the tenth workshop in a series jointly organized by Hydro Lab and ICH since 2001, including one workshop at Chhukha, Bhutan.

The workshop was attended by 22 participants from 3 different countries namely Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The participants were professionals from different governmental and private organizations including developers, consultants and researchers.

The weeklong workshop began with lectures conducted by the experienced professionals from academic institutions, hydropower developers, research organizations and consulting firms, who shared their experiences on various topics related to the main theme of the workshop. The participants were also given an opportunity to present and share their experience during group presentations. Additionally, group exercises were also conducted during the training session. 

Following is the list of the lectures delivered during the workshop:

1

Key note lecture on Planning and Design of Hydropower Headworks in Sediment Loaded Rivers

2

Hydraulics and sediment transport in Himalayan Rivers

3

Conceptual hydraulic design of hydropower headworks in Himalayan Rivers (Part 1, RoR type)
