  ProfileA competent and versatile senior manager with extensive experience and a proven track record spanning renewable energy and specialist manufacturing. Particular strengths include expert knowledge of materials and engineering processes and the ability to utilise an extensive network of industry specialists effectively.Micro HEPI am an independent consultant & Project Manager specialising in the installation of hydroelectric turbines with an installed capacity of less than 100kW.Unencumbered by ties to manufacturers and with low overheads, I provide a complete service from initial pre-feasibility studies to final commissioning. Along the installation journey, my job title changes as my role changes using different skill sets.Hydro-installations can take from two to three years to complete. The time is spent navigating the stringent regulatory hurdles of planning permission and abstraction/impoundment licence consents. I am not averse to getting my hands dirty during civil works installation and I relish the technical challenges that each unique site presents. As a former manufacturing company director from an engineering background, I design, commission and oversee the fabrication of steel works, [ e.g. fish passes], concrete works, [e.g. in-river screening] and perform due diligence examinations of the turbine manufacture, whether it be a high head Pelton wheel, a medium head Cross-flow or a low head Semi-Kaplan.Now experienced, with some of the most ecologically demanding projects completed, I am happy to discuss the potential of harnessing electrical power from your watercourse.
