To support today’s rapidly evolving energy markets, URS offers
special expertise in program management, project development,
planning,environmentalservices,engineering,design,procurement,
construction management, and construction for dams, reservoirs,
conveyance systems and hydropower facilities, including pumped
storage. We also specialize in the siting, planning, permitting,
design, procurement, construction, modification and maintenance
of power-generating facilities and the systems that transmit and
distribute electricity.

Storage Project was recognized by the
American Society of Civil Engineering
with its Award for Outstanding Civil
Engineering Project of 1973, the
first such project to receive this
prestigious award.
Bottom Photo: The completed Rocky
Mountain Pumped Storage Project
serves a group of 39 rural electric
cooperatives, providing electricity to
71 percent of Georgia’s land area.
It received the 1995 First Place
Award, “Special” category, from the
Georgia Chapter of the American
Concrete Institute.
Cover photo: One of the largest
earthfill dam projects in the U.S., the
Diamond Valley Lake project doubled
the surface water storage available
in Southern California and reduced
the threat of water shortages in
drought periods.
URS Corporation’s heritage of water
resources, power, and electric
transmission design and construction
experience spans more than a century
of projects around the globe. From
its earliest pioneering days over
100 years ago, the company has
been at the forefront of hydroelectric
developments. We have completed
more than 150 hydroelectric projects
with a cumulative installed capacity of
50,000 megawatts in 21 countries.
Our experience includes conventional
hydroelectric and pumped storage
technologies, run-of-river and storage
reservoirs (low to high head), small and
world-class large, remote sites and those
near city centers, and the unconventional
(e.g., a prefabricated powerhouse floated
to its final location).
Our services encompass a full range of
markets, including:
Hydropower•
Pumped storage•
Water supply and storage•
Flood control•
Irrigation and drainage•

Safety Commitment
URS is committed to making safety
our first priority in every task we
undertake. Our projects have
met significant safety milestones,
including a project that twice achieved
7 million hours, and then 10 million
hours without a lost time injury.
Our proven safety performance has
resulted in lost time incident and total
recordable injury rates well below
industry standard.
The company has one of the safest
workforces in the world. Our lost time
incident rate has remained eight times
better than industry average for more
than a decade. Our clients benefit
from this outstanding performance:
workers compensation costs are lower,
and project continuity is maintained
through the reliability of our safe,
motivated, and talented workforce.
PUMPED STORAGE CAPABILITIES
URS has furnished engineering services
in the study, design, and construction of
pumped storage hydroelectric projects
in the United States and throughout the
world. Since 1915, when the pumped
storage concept was first utilized, URS
has been a leader in this field. We
have provided services for all stages of
pumped storage development, including
preliminary reconnaissance, project and
system planning, technical and economic
feasibility evaluations, operation analysis,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
licensing, environmental assessment and
mitigation, preparation of conceptual and
detailed designs, preparation of equipment
and materials specification, purchasing
and inspection, construction management
and construction, and startup and testing.
Pumped storage projects have been a
key focus of URS for numerous clients
since the 1950’s, and the total generating
capability of our project experience is
approximately 21,000 MW.
URS has a strong history of diverse
contributions to pumped storage
projects. For example, on the Rocky
Point pumped storage project, URS was
a member of the developer team as well
as the constructor. In the case of the
Gregory County pumped storage project,
URS served in a traditional consulting
engineer role with responsibilities in
conceptual design, economics, estimating,
resource agency consultation, and power
marketing. For the Mt. Hope and Summit
pumped storage projects, we worked
under contract to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission in a review and
evaluation role.
Additionally, URS has participated in
the design and construction of major
water supply and multipurpose facilities
involving large dams and reservoirs for
Federal agencies, large municipalities, and
for municipal water, irrigation, and flood
control districts.
To support today’s rapidly evolving
markets, URS offers special expertise
in program management; project
development; planning; dam, reservoir,
conveyance system, and hydropower
facility design; procurement; construction
management; self-performed construction
including design-build services;
and dam safety analysis, resource
utilization studies, rehabilitation and
upgrade of existing facilities, and fish
facility engineering.

  • 3. Safety Commitment URS is committed to making safety our first priority in every task we undertake. Our projects have met significant safety milestones, including a project that twice achieved 7 million hours, and then 10 million hours without a lost time injury. Our proven safety performance has resulted in lost time incident and total recordable injury rates well below industry standard. The company has one of the safest workforces in the world. Our lost time incident rate has remained eight times better than industry average for more than a decade. Our clients benefit from this outstanding performance: workers compensation costs are lower, and project continuity is maintained through the reliability of our safe, motivated, and talented workforce. PUMPED STORAGE CAPABILITIES URS has furnished engineering services in the study, design, and construction of pumped storage hydroelectric projects in the United States and throughout the world. Since 1915, when the pumped storage concept was first utilized, URS has been a leader in this field. We have provided services for all stages of pumped storage development, including preliminary reconnaissance, project and system planning, technical and economic feasibility evaluations, operation analysis, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission licensing, environmental assessment and mitigation, preparation of conceptual and detailed designs, preparation of equipment and materials specification, purchasing and inspection, construction management and construction, and startup and testing. Pumped storage projects have been a key focus of URS for numerous clients since the 1950’s, and the total generating capability of our project experience is approximately 21,000 MW. URS has a strong history of diverse contributions to pumped storage projects. For example, on the Rocky Point pumped storage project, URS was a member of the developer team as well as the constructor. In the case of the Gregory County pumped storage project, URS served in a traditional consulting engineer role with responsibilities in conceptual design, economics, estimating, resource agency consultation, and power marketing. For the Mt. Hope and Summit pumped storage projects, we worked under contract to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in a review and evaluation role. Additionally, URS has participated in the design and construction of major water supply and multipurpose facilities involving large dams and reservoirs for Federal agencies, large municipalities, and for municipal water, irrigation, and flood control districts. To support today’s rapidly evolving markets, URS offers special expertise in program management; project development; planning; dam, reservoir, conveyance system, and hydropower facility design; procurement; construction management; self-performed construction including design-build services; and dam safety analysis, resource utilization studies, rehabilitation and upgrade of existing facilities, and fish facility engineering.
