Norway, Hitra-Froya - no/16

Strait Crossing

  5.3 km-long connection under construction by Selmer for Statens Vegvesen between the islands of Hitra and Froya located west of Trondheim to complete all-weather link to mainland. Development of 55 m2 two-lane single tube from both portals using two Atlas Copco 353S-1838 drillrigs equipped with Bever Control which handle all face, probehole and rockbolt holes. Maximum advance in each heading 110 m/week in predominantly gneissic rocks with a few bands of limestone/marble. 3.6 km subsea at maximum depth 150 m. 8,000 cement-grouted rebar spiles installed over the crown in umbrellas with 2-3 m overlap in poor ground which comprises 3 % of alignment. 10,000 m2 shotcrete and 250 linear m of concrete lining expected, together with 200 linear m of floor concrete. 120,000 m of probeholes drilled to date. Work commenced February, 1998 from Froya portal using slurry explosives under wet conditions and March, 1998 from Hitra using Anfo under dryer conditions. There is an overall cost balance between the two types of explosive: slurry is more expensive but less noxious so requires less ventilation and offers faster re-entry. There is no detectable difference in their relative blasting efficiencies. May 1999.

The Segment 1 includes more than 70 viaducts for 27.5 km and 10 tunnels for 4.7 km, two of which are 1.57 km long.

The Oman Railway Company (ORC) selected 18 consortia among 34 (constituted by 95 local and international companies) for a design-and-build civil infrastructure and railway track contract and 5 consortium among 9 (formed by 14 local and international firms) for technology systems.

The successful bidder for civil work will  have to subcontract IT systems to any one of the five consortia prequalified for the Rail Technology Systems package. The qualified companies list is valid for four years.

The construction work of Segment 1 is expected to start by the first quarter of 2015.

The Segment 1 is expected to be operational by 2018 and the railway will connect the Sultanate's port cities – Sohar, Duqm and Salalah – with other GCC countries.

In August, 2013 the Italian company Italferr was awarded the contract for consultancy services for preliminary design of the national railway project. The whole railway will have 30 small stations, 10 interim stations, six large stations and eight marshalling yards.

Hydropower

Pakistan's federal government approved the 969 MW Neelum-Jhelum hydropower project at a cost of PKR128.4 billion in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. The project will be built by a consortium consisting of China Gezhouba Group Corp. (CGGC) and CMEC China. The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) had already approved award of the contract to the CGGC-CMEC joint venture in March 2007 at the contract price of PKR90.9 billion. The project will also be executed through Neelum-Jhelum Project Co., a government-owned unit, which has since been set up and the debt ratio of the project will be around 50/50. The project envisages the diversion of the Neelum river at Nosairi in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, through a 32.5 km headrace tunnel to a power station. Three tunnels would be built under the project design: the first two would be 15 km long and 40 square metres and the second would be 17 km long and 80 square metres. The project will be completed in eight years. Read E-News Weekly 2/2006. Visit www.gzbgj.com/english/index.asp and www.cmec.com 52/07-01/08.The joint venture Neelum-Jhelum Consultants led by MWH and consisting of MWH, Pakistani firms Nespak, ACE and NDC, and Norwegian firm Norplan has been selected by the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) to provide design, construction drawing preparation and construction management services for the Neelum-Jhelum hydroelectric project. The contract is worth PKR4.1 billion and covers a period of eight years. The project, expected to cost approximately PKR130 billion to build, will include a concrete gravity diversion dam, a headrace tunnel, a surge chamber and an underground powerhouse that will have four turbine-generating units. The total length of headrace tunnel is 28.5 km. A 15.1 km stretch of the tunnel from the Nauseri will be constructed as a twin tunnel system each with a cross-section of 42 square metres. The remaining headrace tunnel down to the surge chamber will be a single tunnel having a cross-section of 82 square metres. The tunnels are shotcrete lined with a concrete invert. The tunnel crosses the Jhelum river approximately 380 m below its bed. The tunnel will be accessed by seven adits for removal of excavated spoil. The surge chamber consists of a 340 m-high riser shaft. A 820 m-long surge tunnel, four steel-lined penstock tunnels, 150 m long and having 3.8 m internal diameter will also be constructed. The underground power station will house four units with a total capacity of 969 MW. Located in the Muzaffarabad district in the state of Azad Jammu Kashmir, approximately 138 km from Islamabad, the Neelum-Jhelum project is one of several major projects planned to increase Pakistan's hydroelectric generation capabilities to meet the growing energy needs of the country.
