Profile
  • Name: Ramkrishna Mahato
  • Role: Civil Engineer
  • Industry: Hydropower
  • Location: Kathmandu, Nepal

I am a dedicated Civil Engineer with a strong foundation in hydropower and infrastructure development, specializing in site supervision, construction monitoring, and quality assurance. I have hands-on experience coordinating with contractors, local stakeholders, and government authorities to ensure timely and sustainable project delivery.

With hands-on experience across multiple hydropower projects in Nepal โ€” including Upper Daraundi HPP (9.2 MW) with Green Gorkha Energy Limited and Sangu Sorun Khola HPP (5.0 MW) with Kalinchowk Hydropower Limited โ€” I bring practical expertise in civil engineering design, construction supervision, quality assurance, and project coordination. I am also the creator of Hydropedia, Nepal's comprehensive hydropower reference platform used by engineers, developers, and researchers across the energy sector.

Portfolio

Academic & Beyond Projects

Chepe River

Hydroelectric Potential of Chepe River

Conducted a comprehensive feasibility study and designed major components of a run-of-river hydropower project on the Chepe River, Nepal. The study covered headworks design, headrace tunnel alignment, penstock sizing, powerhouse layout, and techno-economic feasibility analysis as part of final year undergraduate research at Kathmandu University. The project demonstrated practical application of hydraulic engineering principles in Nepal's mountainous river systems.

Glass Powder Concrete

Concrete Performance with Glass Powder

An experimental research study investigating the mechanical properties of concrete when fine aggregate is partially replaced by recycled glass powder at varying percentages (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%). The study analyzed compressive strength, workability, and durability parameters, contributing to sustainable construction material research in Nepal. Findings were published on ResearchGate and demonstrated viable use of waste glass in structural concrete applications.

Flyover Model

Flyover Model at New Baneshwor

Designed and built a scaled demonstrative model of a proposed flyover at the New Baneshwor intersection in Kathmandu โ€” one of the most congested traffic nodes in Nepal. The project involved traffic flow analysis, geometric design of the flyover structure, and presentation of an engineering solution to reduce peak-hour congestion. The model was presented at Sankalpa Expo as a student engineering initiative.

Poster Design

Hydropower Internship Poster

A technical poster summarizing a six-week engineering internship at Likhu 1 and 2 Hydroelectric Projects under MV Dugar Hydro Division. The internship covered hands-on experience in reinforcement bar bending and placement, mass concreting operations, headrace tunnel construction, shotcreting, and quality control procedures in an active hydropower construction environment.

My Works

Technical Execution & Drafting

Typical Municipal Drawing

Prepared a complete set of municipal building drawings including site location plan, architectural floor plans, elevations, cross-sections, and structural detailing using AutoCAD. The drawings were prepared in compliance with Kathmandu Metropolitan City building bylaws and standards, covering all elements required for building permit submission.

Alignment Survey (Panauti)

Conducted a detailed alignment survey for a road and bridge corridor in Panauti using reciprocal and differential leveling techniques. The survey involved benchmark transfer, establishment of temporary benchmarks (TBMs) along the alignment, and preparation of longitudinal and cross-sectional profiles for design purposes. Data was processed and plotted using standard surveying software.

Topography Map of KU

Conducted a detailed topographic survey of the area above the KU Canteen and International Girls Hostel at Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel. The survey used Total Station and leveling instruments to capture ground elevation data, which was processed to generate a contour map showing terrain features, slopes, and drainage patterns of the campus area.

Bar Bending Schedules (BBS)

Prepared comprehensive Bar Bending Schedules (BBS) for a residential building project in Siraha district, Nepal. The BBS covered all reinforced concrete structural elements including isolated footings, columns, beams, slabs, and staircases. Accurate cutting lengths, bending details, and quantity estimates were calculated to support material procurement, cost estimation, and efficient on-site construction execution.
