In a significant development towards the implementation of the Dasu Hydropower Project (DHPP), WAPDA announced on Wednesday evening that Stage-1 of the Concrete-Starter Dam has been completed upstream of the main dam site.
Stage-1 of the concrete Starter Dam was finished earlier this month, just before the high flow season in River Indus. WAPDA’s statement described it as a major achievement for the project team, Gwadar Pro reported on Thursday.
According to the project design, the Starter Dam for DHPP is divided into two stages. Stage-1 has been completed up to an elevation of 785 meters, while Stage-2 is planned up to an elevation of 798 meters above sea level.
Following the high flow season in October this year, the construction of Stage-2 of the Starter Dam will commence and is expected to be completed during the upcoming low-flow season.
