ELC delivers comprehensive expertise in engineering, economics, and project management for hydropower, irrigation, and water resource projects. Our services encompass hydropower plant rehabilitation and upgrades, irrigation and agricultural development, water resource planning, river engineering, and watershed management.

With a globally recognized track record, ELC has been a trusted partner in water resource development, achieving remarkable milestones:

  • 150,000 MW of installed hydropower capacity,
  • 9,500 MW of pumped storage plants,
  • 4,500 MW of rehabilitated and upgraded hydropower plants,
  • 1,500,000 hectares of irrigated agricultural land.

ELC’s portfolio includes hundreds of large embankment dams of all types, including arch, dome, gravity, RCC (rolled compacted concrete), and more. From design to detailed engineering, construction supervision to commissioning, many of these projects are now operational and delivering results worldwide.
