Ever since 1947, HRI has been involved in most of the Hydraulic Structures and Irrigation Projects and related studies executed in Egypt. Besides, HRI has a wide experience in the broader fields of Hydraulic Structures, River and Canal Engineering, Navigation, Coastal Engineering, and the design of Cooling Systems of Power Plants.
