Xayaburi Current status of Site

construction

Everything comes in by haul road

New site access roads and accommodation

Main site office comlex

Early excavations adjacent to the River for the Navigation lock and

Spillway

Excavation and foundations for Whessoe site fabrication facility

Summary

It is possible to reverse the trend and win export work

Market place is difficult and competitive

UK no longer regarded the leader in Hydropower

Financial support no longer available from UKTI

Websites provide access to World Market

Essential to get out and meet people

BHA provide a very cost effective way to do it

Hydro 2012 next week in Bilbao

Hydro 2013 will be held in Innsbruck
