Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River
Round up on a very busy year!
2023 was a busy year for KGAL! We were retained to work on some significant projects both UK and Overseas.
In the UK, work continued on a number of coastal and river flood control structures,
including the Lowestoft Flood Barrier and Tilbury DFLGs with Jacobs, Bridgwater
Barrier and Sutton Harbour with Atkins, Leigh Barrier and Star Inn Gates at Pevensey
with JBA, River Hull Tidal Surge Barrier, Humber Flood Defence Assets and
Beckingham Sluice with Arup, Keadby Pumping Station Rehabilitation and Looe
Barrier with WSP, Rotherham Flood Defence Gate, Colwick Sluice Fish Pass and a
number of smaller, but critical, flood and river control structures with Jackson Civil
Engineering.
Whilst Overseas, we continue to work on a number of large capital projects
including Kariba Dam Spillway Rehabilitation with Gruner Stucky, Singapore
Coastal Reservoirs with CH2M/Jacobs and a number of Reliability Assessments on
Dam Spillways in Canada, for Metro Vancouver and BC Hydro.
In addition, we were appointed by our Parent Company, Whessoe Sdn Bhd, to
design circa 25,000 Tonnes of Hydraulic Steel Structures for the Luang Prabang
HEPP on the Mekong River, in Lao PDR.
In our line of business, no two jobs are alike, each one presenting their own unique
challenge to overcome. That’s why we enjoy what we do.
For 2024 we look forward to building on these existing relationships, with new
challenges on new projects.
We wish all our clients, suppliers and partners a happy and prosperous New Year!
