What an ending of year 2021 and start of year 2022. There was shower of milestone achievements at Suki Kinari Hydropower Project.
It is really appreciated the team of National and International staff accomplished this challenging task. The excavation of these two middle Pressure shafts was started in the beginning of year 2021 and completed at the end of year 2021 and beginning of 2022.
The penstock system is about 2km long which consists of 6 pressure shafts and 8 pressure tunnels. The overall elevation difference is 744m and one of the “Deepest Pressure Shaft Systems” among World’s Hydropower projects.
The excavation of all Pressure shafts is being done with drilling and blasting. Initially, the guide shaft having a diameter of 1.65m had been achieved. The expansion of the guide shaft from 1.65m to 5.08m was achieved with the drilling & Blasting method.
No doubt, the drilling, and excavation of such a short diameter shaft was not an easy task in these geological conditions but the determined team made it happen.
