Previous Experience
The original eight founders of Hydro-Future brought a range of past experience to the company. The projects shown below are those in which the founding members of Hydro-Future have been involved that exemplify the principles in which Hydro-Future operates such as innovation, sustainability and a focus on community and environmental considerations.
Engineers Without Borders - Vietnam (2012)
Hydro-Future employees participated in humanitarian projects in Vietnam. This project required waste products be used as construction materials for housing. This resulted in reducing the levels of waste to the benefit of the environment, as well as providing housing in the project area.
Surface Water Seepage and Table Water Analysis
At current rehabilitation centres there is still a need to analyse the water run-off that occurs from older, acidic mines such as Brukunga Mines South-East of Adelaide. In this analysis, the acidic run-off was seeping into the underground water table and then into natural surface waterways. As farmers were using this waterway for irrigation and live-stock this acidic water was not acceptable. An analysis of possible solutions for the client was produced. The client selected one of the options and the work was carried out according to the design and Australian Standards.
22 Mega-Litre Storm Water Dam Design and Construction
Currently Kadina, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, only has one storage dam which receives the storm water for the area. This dam has a total capacity of 13 Mega-litres (ML). This resulted in problems as the capacity of this dam was insufficient for a town due to the large spread of land and areas requiring irrigation. A second elevated-wall dam was designed to handle the overflow of the existing dam and to provide extra irrigation. The final design was created to act like a balance tank and increased the townships storm water supply to over 30ML.
Moonta Community RV Dumping Point
Previous to this project there was no convenient existing dumping point for RV’s or the like to dispose of their grey and black water waste in the township of Moonta, the closest being 15km away. A site was chosen, and then the appropriate plumbing and irrigations were set in place. Finally the section off the side of the road was profiled and rubble placed on top to provide a safe driving experience for the vehicles. This comes at no cost to the users and provides a safe dumping point for tourists.
