Chutak Hydroelectric Project

The Chutak Hydroelectric Project, commissioned in 2011, features a run-of-the-river design with a barrage, underground powerhouse, headrace tunnel, and penstock. Encardio Rite supplied and installed essential geotechnical instrumentation, including piezometers, borehole extensometers (mechanical and electronic), load cells, water level recorders, and portable readout units. These instruments support real-time monitoring and proactive management of key project components, ensuring operational efficiency and the long-term safety of the Chutak Hydroelectric Project.
