01Project overview & context
Project summary
SgurrEnergy provided hydrology and flood risk assessment for Confidential's 300 MW solar pv assignment in Fatehgarh, Rajasthan, India. The work addressed hydrology and flood risk assessment and translated the available project, site and environmental evidence into engineering and risk-management inputs. The assignment supported clearer identification of constraints, better-informed project decisions and a traceable basis for the applicable mitigation, resilience, design or infrastructure-protection measures.
Project context
The assignment related to 300MW Solar PV Project in Fatehgarh, Rajasthan, India. SgurrEnergy was engaged during the stated 2025 period to provide hydrology and flood risk assessment. The work was intended to establish reliable project evidence, identify site and lifecycle constraints, and provide recommendations that could be used by the client and its engineering stakeholders. The source track record does not state the project phase, contractual boundaries or current development status; these items require confirmation before publication.
Client objectives
- Generate reliable hydrology and flood risk assessment inputs for project planning and engineering.
- Identify site constraints that could affect layout, foundations, drainage, access or infrastructure durability.
- Translate survey and investigation findings into clear engineering recommendations.
- Improve constructability and reduce uncertainty before detailed design and execution.
Key challenges & considerations
Site Data Reliability
Engineering decisions depend on complete, correctly referenced and quality-controlled field and desktop information.
Multidisciplinary Interfaces
Terrain, drainage, subsurface conditions, corrosion and foundation behaviour can influence several design packages at once.
From Findings to Design Inputs
Investigation outputs need to be converted into usable criteria, constraints and recommendations for downstream engineering teams.
02Scope & delivery
Independent engineering role
SgurrEnergy's role
SgurrEnergy acted as the Technical Investigation Consultant for the assignment. The team coordinated the applicable environmental, social, survey, hydrology, geotechnical, corrosion, climate or engineering inputs and converted the findings into structured technical outputs. The role supported the client's decision-making while maintaining traceability between available evidence, identified risks and recommended actions.
Our technical approach
SgurrEnergy applied a coordinated site-investigation approach in which survey, desktop, field and laboratory evidence was quality-checked and translated into engineering-ready outputs. Findings were considered across discipline boundaries so terrain, hydrology, ground conditions, corrosion and foundation behaviour could inform layout, grading, drainage, structural and construction decisions. Assumptions, limitations and recommendations were documented for traceable use by downstream engineering teams.
Principal deliverables
- Hydrology and Flood Risk Assessment report and associated engineering inputs.
- Site constraints, findings and recommendation register.
- Drawings, models, test records or mapped outputs applicable to the commissioned scope.
- Technical clarifications and interfaces for downstream project engineering.
Project configuration
- Project / assignment: 300MW Solar PV Project.
- Published capacity: 300 MW.
- Technology: Solar PV.
- Location: Fatehgarh, Rajasthan, India.
03Value & outcome
Value delivered
- Improved confidence in site conditions and engineering assumptions.
- Supported more informed layout, drainage, foundation and material-protection decisions.
- Reduced uncertainty before detailed design, procurement and construction.
- Created traceable technical inputs for multidisciplinary project teams.
Project outcome
The assignment provided Confidential with structured hydrology and flood risk assessment outputs for the project in Fatehgarh, Rajasthan, India. SgurrEnergy's work strengthened the evidence base for project planning and supported more informed decisions on the relevant environmental, social, resilience, site-development, foundation, drainage or durability considerations. The final website wording should be updated once the project stage, deliverable status and approved outcomes are confirmed.
