HISTORY
TECHNOPROJECT began in 1992 under the name of Hidroconsultoría, pioneer company in México for the integral design of Hydroelectric
Projects.
Technoproject México currently has branches or sister companies in Ecuador (TP Ecuador), Panamá (Estudios y proyectos
Técnicos EPT) and Argentina (Technoproject Internacional TPI).
A large amount of that experience was acquired at Comisión Federal
de Electricidad (CFE) of México (Federal Electricity Commission) and at Hidroconsultoría, where Technoproject’s Directors and its
main specialists worked as designers and managers of several hydroelectric projects and dams, covering the following engineering fields:
- Technical Supervision
- Geological
Technoproject has the experience of working together with other design firms and international prestige research institutes such as: Electrowatt
Switzerland, Coyne et Bellier of France, ICA-Fluor Daniel of México, Intertechne of Brazil, COIGSA of Argentina, Institute of Engineering
of México (UNAM), Lenhydroproject of Russia, Ukrhydroproject and Zaporozhgidrostal of Ucrania, China Institute of Water Resources
and Hydropower Research of China, Institute of Hydraulic Research and Research Institute of Aseismic IDIA of National University of
San Juan Argentina, as well as a full partnership agreement in effect for all areas of expertise; in addition, the frequent joint
work with the different areas of engineering design of the Federal Electricity Commission, México.
The main hydroelectric projects, in which some members of the staff acted as project managers before joining Technoproject,
are:
- La Amistad, México (2 x 34.5 MW)
- Aguamilpa, México (3 x 320 MW)
- El Cajón, México (2 x 375 MW)
- San Rafael, México (2 x 11.5 MW)
- San Juan Tetelcingo, México (3 x 207 MW)
- Huites, México (initially) (2 x 211 MW)
Both CFE and Technoproject, its members have participated in the different stages of hydroelectric projects such as:
- Feasibility studies
- Basic and conceptual engineering
- Optimization of the layout of main works
- Detailed design (civil and electromechanical)
- Field engineering and supervision
- Geological and seismic risk studies
They also developed other kind of projects:
- Potable water supply
- Planning on the use of water
- Flood control and protection works
- Tunnels
