Hydrology & flood studies
Peak discharge estimation for multiple return periods using various hydrological methods, plus flood level simulation in HEC-RAS.
Civil Engineer · Hydropower
Engineering water into reliable power.
I'm Manish Pandey, a civil engineering graduate from Kathmandu University. I've worked on a 100 MW hydropower site and a 42 MW feasibility study, and I'm building my career in hydropower design, hydrology and site engineering.
Reservoir, gravity dam, penstock and powerhouse, simplified.
Organised, dependable and focused on hydropower.
I'm a civil engineering professional skilled in AutoCAD and hydropower infrastructure, with hands-on experience in hydraulic modelling and structural site documentation.
At Kathmandu University I trained in AutoCAD, Excel and project management, ran seismic analysis on a shake table and completed topographic, road and bridge surveys at the Mars Nepal Survey Camp. I then spent six weeks on the 100 MW Super Trishuli Hydropower Project, observing RCC, foundation, grouting and quality control works. Outside engineering, I enjoy travelling and playing guitar.

What I work on
Areas I've studied and practised through projects, training and site exposure.
GIS & catchment mapping
Catchment and intake boundary delineation in QGIS for spatial accuracy in feasibility work.
Layout & alternative analysis
Comparing headworks and powerhouse positions to maximise cost efficiency.
Seismic & structural analysis
Seismic analysis and structural integrity evaluation using shake table modules, with ETABS and SAP2000 skills.
Quantities & bar bending
Quantity estimation and bar bending schedules prepared from AutoCAD drawings using Excel and IS codes.
Site & quality procedures
Exposure to RCC works, foundations, drilling and grouting, batching and crusher plants, and lab testing.
Selected projects
Filter by the type of work.
Study
Feasibility study, Upper Modi A
Delineated catchment and intake boundaries in QGIS, simulated flood levels in HEC-RAS, estimated peak discharges for multiple return periods, and analysed headworks and powerhouse alternatives for cost efficiency.
Construction
Internship, Super Trishuli Hydropower
Observed RCC works, foundation works, drilling and grouting, and batching and crusher plant operations, and reviewed lab test results against IS code requirements.
Design
Bar bending schedule, divide wall footing
Prepared a bar bending schedule for a divide wall footing from an AutoCAD drawing, using Excel and IS codes.
Study
Seismic analysis & shake table
Conducted seismic analysis and evaluated structural integrity through hands-on shake table simulation modules.
