Dagachhu Hydroelectric Project

The 126 MW Dagachhu Hydroelectric Project, located in Bhutan, is monitored by Encardio Rite using advanced geotechnical instruments such as inclinometers, piezometers, and borehole extensometers. These instruments were deployed for critical project components, including the diversion weir, desilter, headrace tunnel, surge tank, and powerhouse. Encardio Rite provided both instrumentation and monitoring services with experienced engineers on-site to ensure the structural integrity and performance of the hydroelectric plant.

Dagachhu Hydroelectric Project

The 126-MW Dagachhu hydropower project in Bhutan is built on the Dagachhu River in the southwestern district of Dagana. The project is a run-of-the-river power plant.

Encardio-rite supplied and instrumented geotechnical monitoring sensors for the diversion weir, desilter, headrace tunnel, surge tank, pressure shaft, tailrace tunnel, underground powerhouse, and transformer cavern.

Encardio-rite also provided monitoring services by posting experienced engineers at the site for installed instruments that included an inclinometer, piezometer, water level recorder, borehole extensometer, rock bolt load cells, arc weldable strain gage, embedment strain gage, plumb lines, portable read out units, surface settlement point, and bireflex targets.
