Our company applies these skills to the assessment of a wide range of projects in the environmental and energy sectors, including:
• Water resource and regional development
• Dams and hydroelectric power engineering
• Water & Wastewater treatment
• Land reclamation and irrigation
• Infrastructure and environmental engineering
• Hydropower Plants and electro-mechanical systems
VCE has extensive international experience in designing and supervision of major civil, environmental and energy engineering projects. This ensures that all the disciplines within VCE are based on thorough working knowledge of the international and national standards.
Our company’s experience covers all the significant forms of construction procurement:
• Conventional competitive bidding with VCE acting as the Client’s agent
• Project management
• Construction management
• Design and consulting
VCE offers a wide range of options to secure the construction, commissioning and operation of the project in the manner that best supports the Client’s financial plan and the funding agency’s budget.
The multidisciplinary teams provide a comprehensive design service in:
• Geotechnical and tunneling engineering
• Foundation design
• Seismic engineering
• Surveying and mapping
• G.I.S. and remote sensing applications
• Dams and hydroelectric power engineering
• Irrigation and land reclamation
• Hydrology and flood control
• River hydraulics
• Electrical and mechanical plant design
• Control system
• Water treatment and effluent control
• Transportation and road engineering
• Complex structures
• Contract type definition and recommendation
The multidisciplinary approach provides a single point of contact, which gives the Client assurance that all technical and economic aspects of the project will be studied, analyzed and designed within a coherent and balanced work plan.
Within the selected form of contract, our company can provide construction services including:
• Project planning
• Cost evaluation and budget control
• Contractor documentation and bills of quantities
• Contractor prequalification and evaluation
• Bid analysis and evaluation
• Construction supervision
• Inspection and testing of plant and materials
• Quality assurance procedures
• Analysis and certification of payment
• Programmed monitoring
• Commissioning and acceptance of the works
• Dispute resolution
• Maintenance and operation manuals
• Training of Client personnel
VCE places particular emphasis on the involvement of local contractors and the Client’s organization in the construction process by the implementation of on-site training programs during construction phase as well as during the commissioning, maintenance and operational phases of the project.
By working in close co-operation with the Client and local consultants, VCE ensures thorough understanding of local conditions and cultures. This relationship provides a sound basis for training and technology transfer.
Extensive use is made of mathematical modelling in order to analyses the complex hydrological, dynamic and static problems, including validation using physical, static and hydrological model tests.
Designing is performed using advanced computer technology with proprietary software and “in- house” developed programs to meet the unique demands of the project.
Organized in this manner, the VCE can offer comprehensive design and engineering services in the above-mentioned fields starting from preliminary designs and feasibility studies to final and detail designs, including investigation works, project management and implementation of large scale schemes.
