LAHORE: Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) on Wednesday sought proposals from a pre-qualified consortium to provide consultancy services for the Diamer-Bhasha dam, said a statement.
Wapda issued a request for proposal (RFP) to three pre-qualified consortiums to provide consultancy services for the project. The consortiums, led by AECOM of the United States, Mott MacDonald Limited of the United Kingdom and Lahmeyer of Germany, have been asked to submit their proposals for construction supervision and contract administration. The Diamer-Bhasha dam is a multi-purpose project. Upon completion, the project will store 8.1 million acre feet of water and generate 4,500 MW of electricity, thus contributing about 20 billion units of low-cost hydel electricity annually to the national grid. Owing to the project’s immense importance for socio-economic development, it is considered a priority project.
For the construction of the dam, acquisition of land, development of infrastructure in the project area and implementation of social action plans are continuing through the funds provided by the government.http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-3-190563-Consultants–for-Diamer-Bhasha-dam-sought
