LONDON (July 21 2007): UK-based consultant, Mott MacDonald, is working with an international team to undertake feasibility study on the proposed 5.4 gw Bunji hydro scheme for the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda).
The company said that the Bunji scheme had a budget of around $3 bn, and current plans foresee construction of a 180 metres high concrete dam on the Indus river. The project design envisages installation of 12 units of 450 mw capacity each. A further key aspect of the construction challenge is the design of headrace tunnels to be excavated through the main tectonic faults between the Indian subcontinent and Asia.
