1 Lanka Hydraulic Institute Ltd COMPANY PROFILE

2 PROLOGUE Lanka Hydraulic Institute Limited (LHI) was established in 1984 by the conversion of Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) of the Coast Conservation Department (Sri Lanka) into a Public Limited Liability Company in accordance with a Cabinet decision. LHI has expertise that encompasses technical and engineering spheres as well as a multi-disciplinary approach to a varied project genre, gearing its thorough knowledge of socio-economic, financial and environmental components within each process. The premise of dealing effectively with multi-faceted projects through a wide and varied network of expert individuals and renowned local and foreign organizations is enhanced by LHI proudly having the best state-of-the-art Hydraulics Laboratory in the Indian Ocean region, giving LHI the impetus to provide total solutions in the field of hydraulics. LHI has a rigorous and comprehensive Quality Assurance system and is ISO 9001:2008 certified. LHI is geared to cater to International Consultants working in the region and elsewhere, giving them a reliable choice in outsourcing Hydraulics Laboratory services.

Consultancy and Advisory Services Technical pre-feasibility and feasibility studies and conceptual designs of water related engineering projects including relevant environmental considerations Design of coastal and harbour works with technical specifications and tender documentation Design of recreational beach facilities Coastal Zone Management and related activities. Coastal stability for beach oriented tourist resort development Construction supervision Page 3

5 INFRASTRUCTURE State-of-the-Art Hydraulic Laboratory A wave basin of 35m (L) x 25m (W) x 0.8m (D) with four movable wave makers each 5.5m long, and three pumps capable of delivering 1.2 m 3 /s, alongside with all other facilities to simulate regular & irregular waves and currents; A Two Dimensional wave flume 30m (L) x 0.8m (W) x 1.0m (D) fitted with a wave maker to produce regular or irregular waves; Computerized data acquisition system, electronic-measuring devices such as wave gauges, movement meters, strain gauge force meters to record model parameters, and specific driving software for model; Standard laboratory equipment for sediment analyses; Mechanical and Electronic workshops; Special software for data acquisition; Online visual access of the basin and flume with high resolution IP cams. An outdoor area (35m x 20m) is available for testing of inland water structures. Advanced Numerical Simulations Unit LHI s Numerical Modelling facility is powered by several well known modelling software developed by DHI Water and Environment in addition to software developed in-house, and many reputed tools available in the public domain. LHI possesses the exclusive licence for DHI s MIKE softwares and conducts a wide range of numerical model studies. LHI s present modelling capabilities include: MIKE 11 rainfall/runoff model and the one-dimensional Hydrodynamic model coupled with Transport Dispersion, Sediment Transport, Urban Hydrology and Ground Water, MIKE 21 two-dimensional model with modules for Hydrodynamics, Advection /Dispersion, Nearshore Waves and short waves, MIKE 12 one-dimensional stratified Hydrodynamic and Transport Dispersion Model, MIKE 3 three dimensional particle / spill analysis, and LITPACK one-dimensional Littoral Drift Simulation model. Instruments for Field Investigations and Sample Collections SonTek ADP System InterOcean S4DW for multiple wave parametric measurements Direct recording Current meters Salinity and Temperature meters DGPS Positioning Systems Sediment and water sampling equipment All ancillary hydrographic and land surveying equipment.
