Power & Dams
DWB has a long history in delivering support to power generation and distribution sector, including power generation projects, as well as transmission and distribution infrastructure.
Out multidisciplinary teams provide valuable contributions to planning, design, construction and post-construction phases of these projects. DWB has demonstrated capabilities to aid in distribution systems managers to respond to emergent infrastructure replacements and repairs.
In addition to provincial and regional scale generation, transmission, and distribution projects, DWB has supported a variety of small Independent Power Projects (IPPs), small hydroelectric projects, and windfarms.
