Innovante is an integrated water resources consultancy combining advanced hydraulic modelling, hydrology, and a working physical model lab — built by engineers from India's premier institutes.
What we do
Most water problems don't sit neatly in one discipline. A bridge scour study needs hydrology, hydraulics, sediment transport, and field investigation. We bring all of it under one roof — and one project manager.
Inflow estimation, reservoir sizing, flood frequency analysis, and design of sediment control measures for dams, bridges, irrigation and urban systems.
Explore divisionRiver training works, scour analysis, sediment transport, bank stabilisation and flood modelling for rivers, dams, highways and bridges.
Explore divisionScaled physical hydraulic models in our Roorkee lab, plus CFD simulations and 1D/2D mathematical modelling for spillways, weirs and intakes.
Explore divisionTopography, bathymetry (single & multi-beam), geotechnical, geophysical and GHG emission monitoring across project sites.
Explore divisionEIA, climate change assessment, carbon sequestration studies, and rejuvenation design for lakes, ponds and wetlands.
Explore divisionSatellite-based watershed analysis, agricultural loss assessment, drone imagery, and GIS for urban planning and forest management.
Explore divisionRecent work
From physical modelling of weirs to floating-solar capacity studies, our briefs span the country's most demanding water infrastructure.
Scaled physical model investigation of a Piano Key Weir installation to raise the existing Asolamendha Dam capacity. Field-condition replication, sediment behaviour validation and design refinement through iterative testing.
State-wise assessment of viable floating photovoltaic capacity across India's reservoirs. Combined GIS-based reservoir surface analysis with bathymetry and ecological screening to deliver an investment-grade capacity dataset.
Field-validated experiment to maintain navigable water levels in the Ganga waterway for inland shipping. Hydraulic intervention design and post-implementation monitoring confirmed the proof of concept.
Client voice
The model created for the Asolamendha Weir raising replicated field conditions with rare precision. The team's openness to discussion gave me real confidence that the Piano Key Weir concept could be made to work.
The IHE Laboratory
Most consultancies subcontract physical model studies. We built our own. The Innovante Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory in Roorkee runs scaled models for weirs, spillways, intakes and bridge piers — with calibration against site data and CFD cross-validation.
Insights
Peer-reviewed papers, technical notes and field reports from our engineers — published openly.
How computational fluid dynamics is changing the economics of upgrading ageing dam infrastructure as flood frequencies rise.
A practical comparison of single-beam and multi-beam echosounder methodology for site selection of floating PV installations.
How aerial imagery combined with machine learning is replacing slow, dispute-prone manual crop loss assessments.
