Bids received for first part of Diamer-Bhasha

[ziaulislam]

ISLAMABAD.:

Two joint-venture groups on Wednesday submitted technical and financial bids to the Water and Power and Development Authority (Wapda) for the construction of dam part for the Diamer-Bhasha Dam project.


China Gazebo Group Company and GRC — Power Construction Corporation of China and FWO — are the two groups. Both are composed of a foreign company and a home company.

The bid opening committee opened the technical bid in the presence of the representatives of the companies included in the joint venture.

The scrutiny of the technical bids will be carried out in light of the bidding documents, Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PEPRA) and rules and regulations regarding the Pakistan Engineering Council.

On the completion of the process, the financial bid of the joint venture that stands up to the required conditions and quality will be opened.

In light of the Supreme Court’s decision and the federal government’s priority, Wapda is constructing the Diamer-Bhasha Dam and Mohmand Dam hydropower project.

Work on Mohmand Dam has been started since May, while work will soon start on the construction of the Diamer-Bhasha Dam, which has been divided into two parts.

Thats my money in that damn fubd too. Plz dont give it to thieves. I'd rather give it to an American , german or south korean firm to build the damn. Chinese and civilian pakistani companies i don't trust em. Even pakistan army enginnering firm is good choice if they build dams.

Even if chinese or pakistani firms give lowest bids don't trust them as i dont. Over all courption will make it expensive and bad quality.

These dams are located far north and won't be able to have much effect due to India's actions.

India mostly releases water in the Ravi and Sutlej where we do not have adequate storage, hence Punjab and Sindh get flooded. These dams being in AJK/KPK/GB are way upstream from where India releases water.

Need of the hour is to make small dams on Ravi and Sutlej to prevent India from causing flooding.

Bhai even American, German etc are not doodh ke dhulay howay. There have been cases of companies from these countries indulging in corruption or bad practices. What will keep them in line is a non-corrupt government and strict regulations.

Also I do not think there is a country on this planet that has more expertise at building dams than China. Heck they add more dam storage in a year than probably we have added in our entire history.

Dam will pay itself back once build. It will generare 18 billion units per year. Practically free electricity. 1 unit cost Pakistan rs 12 or likely more.

This isnt taking in to account water storage benefits.

it will take 4 to 5 years anyways . pichley siyasat dano ki nasal kashi karo .

Diamer Basha min 8~10 Years & you also need to construct 200KM KKM Road becuause this Dam will submerge some part of that Road & Main Transmission Line of 500KVA to Connect that site with National Grid System.

I have been reading the same news since 2009. It is only to be believed when we see the actual construction happening on the ground with pics and videos similar to power projects of CPEC

Well said.. pretty sure PPP and PML-N did "ground breaking" of this dam 5-6 times but not a single brick was laid to this date.

Bahria/Riaz Malik Rs460b fine should be transferred to dam fund.
