GARUK DAM PROJECT

Preparation of Updated Design / Main Report Design, Drawings, Specifications & Updated Pc-I Performa.

The Consultants reviewed and update the feasibility study of Pelar Storage Dam Project. Updating of the feasibility study involves hydrological studies (water availability, sediment and flood studies), design aspects (structural, hydraulic, geotechnical and hydro-mechanical), hydropower potential, soil survey, agricultural study (cropping pattern, crop water requirements, yields and returns) EIA study, cost estimates (civil, electrical, mechanical works environmental mitigation, project engineering , management and contingencies), economic analysis, financial analysis and preparation of updated feasibility report.

A potential storage site is available on Garuk River in District Kharan of Balochistan Province for the construction of a dam. An Embankment Dam approximately 55 meter (180.5 ft) high across Garuk River will create a reservoir of about 50,695 AF gross capacity and 24,895 AF live storage. This will provide assured regulated supplies to the existing command area of about 12,500 acres downstream the Garuk River. From escape structure, regulated flow will be conveyed to a main pipe line having 60 cusecs capacity.
