Session 6D: How Can We Lower the Cost of Conduit and Small Hydro? (Room B113)

Many suggest that new technology and standardization and modularization can result in low-cost and more rapid deployment of conduit and small hydro solutions. This session presents case studies of innovative technologies that could include advanced manufacturing and materials for equipment, civil construction means and methods, and techniques for standardization and modularization. The panel will explore how new technology is viewed by financial institutions/banks and resource agencies and demonstrate innovation and techniques that can lower project capital cost and reduce implementation schedules. Actual improved project delivery methods will be presented that reduce project risk and aid in a reliable project delivery.
