Water

At Geo-Design, we apply our rock engineering expertise to support critical water infrastructure. Our involvement spans hydroelectric power generation, pumped hydro storage schemes, water transfer tunnels and deep stormwater shafts. Each demands reliable performance in complex geological conditions with unique load cases.

Whether advising on underground powerhouses and deep shaft construction or assessing tunnel stability, we deliver geotechnical solutions that prioritise safety, constructability, and long-term resilience. Our experience in water-related infrastructure helps clients meet growing demands for low-carbon energy, flood resilience, and sustainable urban drainage, providing confidence that underground systems perform reliably under both normal and extreme conditions.

• Hydropower & Pumped Storage
  We apply our range of services to the investigation and design of excavations for hydropower and pumped storage schemes.
• Water Transfer Tunnels
  Whether it’s conveyance of fresh potable water or movement of waste waters, we have experience in the investigation and design of tunnels that can support your water transfer project.
• Storm Water Storage
  With the increase in intense rainfall events, storm water storage is an essential part of civil infrastructure in urban environments. Geo-Design have the skills and experience to design your stormwater shaft.
