PESHAWAR: In a major development towards implementation of Dasu Hydropower Project, Stage 1 of the concrete-Starter Dam has been completed upstream of the main dam site.
A communication said as per the design, the Starter Dam for Dasu Hydropower Project is to be completed in two stages.
The Stage 1 is up to elevation of 785 meters while Stage 2 up to elevation of 798 meters above mean sea level. The Stage 1 of the concrete Starter Dam was completed in June this year before the high flow season - a major landmark which the project team successfully achieved.
As the high flow season has started, the Indus River is flowing through the two diversion tunnels completed earlier this year, while some of the river water is overtopping the concrete Starter Dam as designed.
After the high flow season in October this year, the construction of the Starter Dam’s Stage 2 will be carried out.
