Africa: Hydropower plant

In 2016, SRK was appointed to act as the Environmental, Health and Safety Manager for a 9 megawatt hydropower plant. The plant is located on the Nkusi River on the border of Hoima and Kibaale Districts, Western Uganda. The key project structures are comprised of a concrete gravity weir, intake structure leading to a penstock (pipeline) and, subsequently, the power station. The penstock is located in a 905 m long tunnel constructed through an escarpment adjacent to Lake Albert. SRK was responsible to ensure that the project ran in accordance to the International Finance Corporation Performance Standards, and to uplift local HSE team skills.
