Since 1924, when Hatch's energy unit began as H. G. Acres & Company in Niagara Falls, Canada, we have designed more than 40,000 MW of hydropower around the world.
From designing new facilities for the private and public sectors, to carrying out rehabilitation and augmentation services for existing sites, our staff applies leading edge technological software as part of the life-cycle management process.
Our core services include design and construction management for hydro developments, risk assessments, regulatory management, efficiency testing, dam safety and due-diligence services for asset-transfer for buyers, sellers and lenders.
In North America the majority of dams, large and small, are at or near the end of their 50-year design life. Hatch provides a full range of services to support dam owners as they develop strategies for improving the safety of their facilities.
