Our Objectives

Sustainability of natural resources and the environment is one of our main corporate objectives guiding our engineering and business ethics. EDACS values the preservation and enhancement of the environment, biodiversity, and social protection.

Population growth results in high energy demand and the degradation of ecosystems. Whilst sustainable, renewable energy replaces fossil fuel and thermal power, at EDACS we are keenly aware that energy preservation plays an important part in clean, sustainable energy generation. Additionally, rapid urbanization and increased water demand pressure precious surface water resources and freshwater aquifers; therefore, protection and sustainable use of water resources are paramount. EDACS focuses on integrated engineering solutions applying up-to-date techniques and technology as well as learning from and adapting documented exemplar designs and case studies.

Our Expertise and Capabilities in Sustainable Energy

Our main expertise in sustainable and renewable energy includes solar PV, wind, and hydropower. With ever-increasing variable clean energy from solar and wind projects, we are also involved in pumped hydropower projects, necessary for electricity grids’ stability.

Our experts at EDACS over the past 40 years have contributed to the development of international hydropower projects with installed capacity >8000 MW. Most of the projects involved such structures as RCC gravity and concrete arch dams, concrete-faced rockfill (CFRD) and embankment dams, large surface powerhouses, powerhouse caverns, intake structures, and pressure shafts and tunnels.

We are proud to have been involved in the preparation of conceptual, feasibility, and design studies as well as the preparation of tender documents and provision of construction supervision.

Our experts have provided technical assistance to contractors, consulting engineering firms, and investors in the preparation of feasibility studies, EPC and Design-Build tenders, plus alternative design solutions resulting in reduced project cost and early completion.

Our services provide a review of tender documents, evaluation of bids, project implementation, due diligence, design optimization, and construction planning for utility companies and funding agencies. We specialize in geotechnical engineering involving the production and quality of construction materials, concrete works, and quality control, as well as the preparation and treatment of soil and rock foundations.

Environment and Social Protection Services

All engineering projects such as roads, dams, reservoirs, transmission and transport networks, and urban development result in impacts. However, at EDACS we ensure compliance with international best practices and local government policies and undertake negative risk mitigation/elimination during the planning, implementation, and operational phases of energy and water resource projects.

Replacement and enhancement of livelihoods and provision of viable solutions for resettlement options tailored to the local context are paramount in ensuring that project beneficiaries include project-affected communities. All work is undertaken according to World Bank policies, IFC Performance Standards, or similar International Lender guidelines.
