1.Hydrotechnical department
Pursuant to executed contracts, the department has developed major projects for mining and processing enterprises across the Republic of Armenia. These projects include the design of tailings storage facilities, dams, tailings pipelines (including syphons, tunnels, and other hydraulic structures), canals, and reservoirs. Notably, the department has prepared tailings storage facility designs for the following mining operations: Teghout, Vallex Group, Akhtala, Kajaran, Agarak, Ararat, and Kapan.
The work is carried out using modern licensed software, including AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and Pipe Flow.
The Hydrotechnical Department is staffed with highly qualified specialists who are fully equipped to develop projects in compliance with international standards for all types of hydraulic structures. These include hydroelectric power plants, reservoirs, drainage canals, pressure and non-pressure pipelines, water supply systems, water infrastructure for mining enterprises, and pumping stations.

2.Water supply department
The Water Supply Department develops all the necessary projects for mining and processing enterprises in Armenia. Specifically, for Teghout, Vallex Group, Kajaran, Agarak, and Ararat. These projects include reservoirs, pumping stations, water pipelines, treatment facilities, on-site and off-site water supply and sewage networks, drainage water diversion from tailings storage facilities, and internal water supply and drainage systems for industrial enterprises.
The work was carried out using licensed software, including AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and Pipe Flow.
The Water Supply Department is ready to develop projects that meet international standards for mining and processing enterprises in the areas of water supply and sewage systems.

3.Geotechnical department
The Geotechnical Department conducts geotechnical investigations of the foundations and dams of tailings and water reservoirs, assesses the technical condition of tunnels and retaining walls, and evaluates the stability of foundations of hydraulic structures. In addition, the department studies the physical and mechanical properties of soils and materials, and analysis hydrogeological and geophysical data, providing accurate and reliable data essential for project implementation. The department performs field and laboratory soil investigations (drilling, sampling, testing), analysis the physical, mechanical, and hydrological characteristics of soils, designs foundations for buildings, bridges, dams, tunnels, and other structures, calculates the stability of slopes, embankments, and fills, and develops solutions for soil stabilization or deformation prevention (e.g., landslides).

4.Engineering-geological survey department
Engineering-geological surveys are conducted through visual inspection, borehole drilling, and excavation of underground workings. These investigations determine the stratification of soils at the project sites, the depth of soil contacts, hydrogeological conditions, and the physical and mechanical properties of the soils. Soil condition indicators are also identified. The work is carried out in accordance with national and international technical standards and procedures, in line with the applicable norms and regulatory documents.
