Engineering support across the project development cycle

Assignments can be structured as a defined study, a specialist work package, a technical review or coordinated support to a project development team. The scope, design responsibility and deliverables are agreed before commencement.

PSP site screening and feasibility

Preliminary review of potential upper and lower reservoir locations, topography, head range, water conductor route, access, constraints and key development considerations using available project information.

Hydrology and water availability

Review of catchment characteristics, rainfall and runoff information, inflow records, reservoir yield, water balance, initial filling requirements and operating-water considerations, subject to data availability.

DPR preparation support

Technical inputs and coordinated documentation for feasibility reports and Detailed Project Reports, including project description, alternatives, hydrology, hydraulic systems, civil works interfaces, estimates and supporting annexures.

Hydraulic systems engineering

Engineering inputs and review for headrace and tailrace tunnels, pressure shafts, penstocks, surge arrangements, waterways, hydraulic transients and related design interfaces.

Technical review and due diligence

Independent review of available feasibility studies, DPRs, design reports, assumptions, technical specifications, quantities and project risks to support developer or investor assessment.

Project development advisory

Technical coordination support for project definition, data-gap identification, investigation planning, consultant interfaces, development schedules and preparation for subsequent project stages.

Typical work packages

PSP studies and technical deliverables

The exact deliverables depend on project maturity, available investigations, client requirements and applicable approval processes.

Project concept and configurationProject setting, reservoir concept, preliminary layout inputs, head and capacity assumptions, key constraints and options for further study.
Hydrological assessment inputsCatchment and rainfall-runoff review, inflow assessment, water balance inputs, filling and replenishment considerations, and data-gap register.
Water conductor system inputsPreliminary route and system review for HRT, pressure shaft, penstock, surge system, powerhouse waterways and tailrace interfaces.
Civil and infrastructure interfacesReservoir and dam interfaces, access and approach roads, powerhouse civil interfaces, construction considerations and quantities support.
DPR and feasibility documentationTechnical chapters, design basis inputs, drawings and schedules coordination, estimates/BOQs inputs, technical specifications and annexures.
Review and risk observationsReview comments, design-basis checks, assumptions register, key technical risks, recommendations and action tracker.
How we work

A defined and reviewable delivery process

Each assignment is scoped to the project stage and the information made available by the client.

1
Understand the project

Review the project brief, location, available reports, data, expected outputs and schedule.

2
Define the scope

Identify work packages, interfaces, assumptions, exclusions, responsibilities and deliverable dates.

3
Coordinate engineering

Assign suitable in-house resources and specialist associates for the agreed technical tasks.

4
Review and hand over

Coordinate technical checks and submit agreed reports, schedules, drawings or review comments.

Project information

What helps us assess a PSP enquiry?

Initial discussions can begin with a brief project note. More complete information helps define a realistic scope and schedule.

Project location and conceptState, district, nearest access point, proposed reservoir locations and whether the scheme is on-stream or off-stream/closed-loop.
Available technical informationTopographic maps, DEM, survey data, hydrology records, geology, existing reservoir data, feasibility reports or earlier DPRs, where available.
Project parametersIndicative installed capacity, operating hours, design head, reservoir storage, water source and project development stage, if known.
Required supportFeasibility, DPR preparation, a specific engineering package, technical review, due diligence or project development advisory.
Frequently asked questions

PSP consultancy – common questions

Does TANVIXA undertake complete PSP DPR assignments?

TANVIXA can assess and coordinate defined PSP feasibility and DPR work packages. The proposed scope, specialist inputs, design responsibility, review arrangements and statutory requirements are established case by case before an assignment is accepted.

Can TANVIXA review an existing PSP DPR or feasibility report?

Yes. A review scope can be defined around the documents supplied, such as project configuration, hydrology, water balance, hydraulic systems, civil interfaces, assumptions, estimates and identified technical risks. The review limitations and information gaps are recorded.

Can support be provided for off-stream closed-loop PSP projects?

Enquiries for off-stream and closed-loop concepts can be assessed. The work scope depends on reservoir configuration, water source and replenishment assumptions, topography, geology, hydrology and the stage of project development.

Does TANVIXA provide services outside India?

TANVIXA is open to discussing remote engineering consultancy and technical documentation assignments for international clients. Applicable local codes, licensing, approvals and professional sign-off requirements must be identified and addressed in the agreed scope.
