Building regulations
If you wish to install a small-scale hydro facility, building regulations will normally apply to aspects of the work such as electrical installation.
It is advisable to contact an engineer who can provide the necessary advice.
General guidance on the performance expected of materials and building work in order to comply with the building regulations and practical examples and solutions on how to achieve compliance for some of the more common building situations can be found in the approved documents section.
