Concrete dyke was successfully blasted to divert part of the Swat River into the tunnel at muhmad Dam

At Mohmand Dam Hydropower project, concrete dyke was successfully blasted to divert part of the Swat River into the tunnel. This diversion is a crucial step in preparing the site for the construction of the CFRD (Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam).

The CFRD will stand 213 meters high and 760 meters long, with a reservoir capacity of 1.293 million acre-feet (MAF), a maximum power generation capacity of 800 MW, and will command 17,000 acres. It will be one of the top five largest CFRD dams in the world and will feature the largest Ogee-Shaped Spillway currently under construction in the country. This milestone underscores our progress, with WAPDA as the client, NESPAK, SMEC, and ACE JV as the consultant, and CGGC and Descon JV as the contractors.
