Hydroelectricity The Energy division of EXP has been recognized for its expertise in hydroelectricity for several decades. From the construction of new plants to the rehabilitation or maintenance of existing facilities, our experts can help you develop, renovate or increase the power of hydroelectricity resources to meet the growing demand for renewable energy. Whether for major government-funded projects, dams or run-of-the-river facilities, EXP specialists off er innovative solutions to clients from both private and public sectors, using an approach based on openness and collaboration. Innovative Solutions In a global context where any source of clean or green energy becomes important to reduce greenhouse gases, one of the solutions is to equip existing infrastructures with power generation units, for example in hydroelectricity:

40+ years of experience in hydroelectric power projects

300+ clean and renewable energy projects since 1970

• Raw or drinking water systems : the energy dissipated by pressure reducers is reused

• Existing control dam : the existing dam infrastructure is used to install a turbine

3D Modelling EXP also provides the industry with virtual 3D design and construction services. The 3D approach includes the virtual design of any structure or building in order to perform the analyses and simulations required to validate the project requirements. Beyond 3D modelling, a global systematic approach allows us to integrate the various management and design processes in order to foster collaboration, whether in a BIM (Building Information Modelling) or PLM (Product Life Management) environment.
