General information

Short Summary

A Portuguese SME with experience in applied hydraulics and specialized in hydrological studies and river hydraulics is looking for engineering design companies that develop hydroelectric dams, photovoltaic and wind power plants, roads and railways projects around the world needing hydrological and hydraulic studies for this type of projects. The SME seeks companies to establish a commercial, supplier or investment agreement.

Full Description

The PT company, founded by a former university professor of applied hydraulics, and specialized in hydrological studies and river hydraulics seeks collaboration and agreements with international energy, water, rail and road engineering companies that require this type of studies, anywhere in the world.
This is an engineering society that studies and develops projects in two different but similar fields of engineering, as both involve fluid mechanics.
Hydrological studies are the basis for the planning of many works, as they make it possible to determine the rivers flow and, based on this knowledge, to dimension various civil engineering works, such as bridges, hydraulic passages in roads and railways, as well as how to establish flood risk maps.
In addition to hydrological studies, the company is able to carry out all types of urban or agricultural hydraulic studies, such as water supply networks, rainwater drainage networks, containment basins and channels for irrigation.

Hydrological studies
Watersheds - Hydrology studies watersheds and the relationship between precipitation and surface and groundwater runoff. Through knowledge of the basin´s terrain and other physiographic characteristics, and by predicting the maximum rainfall that may occur in that area, it is possible to anticipate the flows of rivers and streams in that hydrographic basin.

Flood flow - Knowing the maximum flows of water lines, it is possible to design engineering works that can withstand or resist the force of the water accumulated at these points, such as bridges, aqueducts, channels, etc. The company uses the latest computer tools to obtain and work with the necessary data, both for obtaining accurate and current Digital Terrestrial Models, as well as for carrying out the necessary calculations to determine the hyetograms, hydrograms and peak flood flows.
Sediment analysis - Through granulometric analysis of the basin's soils, it is possible to estimate the amount of sediment transported by the beds during a single bed occasion (and not predict the forecast of the river next to the pillars and bridge encounters). It is also possible to prevent zones from being able to avoid the situation of predicting sediments.

The company's main advantages are the technical qualities with many engineering works, such as roads and railways, cross waterways. Photovoltaic and wind power plants also extend over large areas that may contain water lines. Hydroelectric dams also require these types of studies to verify their effectiveness and the financial risk in the production of hydroelectric energy. For all these types of projects, hydrological and hydraulic studies are necessary to verify that the accumulation of water will not destroy them in the future. Satellite data on rainfall and terrain elevation allow these studies to be carried out from anywhere in the world, as long as the company has the know-how and technical skills. The company has technicians with PhDs in this area of knowledge and uses the most advanced software to carry out this type of specialized studies.

The company is looking for engineering design companies that develop hydroelectric dams, photovoltaic and wind power plants, roads and railways projects around the world.
The company intends to carry out hydrological and hydraulic studies for this type of projects, at lower prices.

Advantages and Innovations

As a company specialized in this niche market, it guarantees the best price/quality ratio as well as the fastest execution using the most advanced software to carry out this type of specialized studies.
