HydroPower - Contract and Claims Consultancy
The Tarbela 4th Extension HydroPower Project is a monumental undertaking in hydroelectric power development. It encompasses a significant expansion of the existing Tarbela Dam, which spans 2,743 meters and stands 143 meters high. This project adds substantial capacity to one of the world's largest earth and rock-filled dams, with a reservoir extending 97 km and an area of 260 km². Key components include construction of a new power house, modification to Tunnel 4 for housing power units, and enhancements to existing infrastructure for improved water intake and sediment flushing.

At Robust Expert Services Ltd, our role in this extensive project involved providing expert advice to the Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority on contract and claims matters under FIDIC 2010 MDB and other bespoke World Bank forms. We adeptly prepared Engineer’s assessments for extension of time, cost claims, and managed dispute resolutions before the Dispute Board. Our team's commitment to excellence was evident in the implementation of FIDIC's Covid claim guidance, leading to crucial determinations in workers' compensation.
​
Key to our success was the effective collaboration with multinational engineering teams, fostering strong relationships and cultural understanding. Our use of advanced data analysis techniques, including Excel filters and count formulas, played a pivotal role in managing and optimizing project resources, demonstrating our commitment to innovation and efficiency in project management.
