Engineering experience for complex hydro and pumped hydro energy storage projects
Helping clients deliver complex hydro projects
Australia's electricity grid is undergoing a significant transformation. As renewable energy grows, the grid increasingly depends on energy storage and pumped hydro energy storage is expected to play an important role in supporting that transition.
Hydro and pumped hydro energy storage projects can be among the most technically complex forms of infrastructure, requiring geotechnical, civil, structural, environmental and delivery expertise.
pitt&sherry brings relevant expertise. We have supported hydro electric generation projects across Australia including work at some of the country's most significant power station sites. We help clients understand and manage the technical, environmental and delivery challenges associated with these projects.

What we do
Hydro and pumped hydro engineering services
We provide engineering and environmental consulting services across many phases of hydro and pumped hydro energy storage projects. From initial planning and approvals through to design, construction support and asset management, our multidisciplinary team brings technical depth, site experience and practical support for complex project requirements.
Our approach
Deep geotechnical and underground expertise
Working within regulatory requirements
We understand the Australian planning, environmental and regulatory requirements relevant to hydro and pumped hydro project delivery.
Working in underground and confined spaces
Hydro and pumped hydro projects frequently involve working in underground environments including shafts, tunnels and caverns. We bring direct experience of these environments, with an understanding of the hazards, controls and safe work requirements associated with underground construction and inspection activities. Where underground conditions introduce risk, ground instability, confined spaces, ventilation, or emergency egress, we seek to identify these early, so they can be eliminated where reasonably practicable or otherwise managed through design and delivery controls.
