The civil engineering component of the project is difficult due to extreme gradients and unstable slopes. Water from the Dagachhu is diverted by a small dam at an altitude of approx. 825 m above sea level through a short tunnel into the de-silting basin. From there, the water will flow through the main tunnel (approx. 7,700 m) and through the steel penstock (approx. 360 m) into the powerhouse.

Tala Hydro - Drill / Blast

  Project on Wangchu river will generate 1020 MW and will require 22.25 km x 50 m² headrace tunnel, 2 x 992 m long pressure shafts, 2.2 km x 60 m² tailrace tunnel and underground powerhouse. Mainly Atlas Copco equipment delivered under $8 million package.  Work commenced November, 1998 for completion May, 2004. Larsen & Toubro awarded RS900 million contract November, 1998 to build tunnel for Tala Hydroelectric Project Authority for completion early 2004. February 1999.   Five contract packages numbered C-1 to C-5. C-1 comprises the dam complex and 6 km of headrace tunnel (HRT) awarded to Hindustan Construction Company (HCC); C-2 excavation of HRT from 6 km mark to 11 km mark awarded to Jaiprakash Industries; C-3 excavation of HRT from 11 km mark to 15 km mark awarded to Larsen & Toubro; C-4 excavation of HRT from 15 km mark to 22.9 km mark awarded to HCC; C-5 comprises surge shaft, pressure shafts, powerhouse, and 2.2 km tailrace tunnel awarded to Jaiprakash. Each of the contracts has its own access roads and adits, and the individual sites are self-sufficient. Client THPA has built 80 km of access roads to date and work is proceeding on another 20 km to complete. THPA also procured a starter pack of equipment for each contract during tender phase in order to speed up mobilisation. These were on a cost reimbursement basis and included per contract: an Atlas Copco 352 drillrig; a Boltec 435 H rockbolter; a CIFA CSS 2 Spritzsystem shotcrete jumbo; a CK90E 1.2 cu m electric loader; and two Wagner MT 420 dumptrucks. Contractors have since been adding to the fleet, generally purchasing more of the same models.   To date, HCC has completed the diversion tunnel under C-1 and is proceeding to establish three massive desilting chambers and the first section of HRT. Jaiprakash has not been so fortunate on C-2 where it had to deal with a 15 m-long face collapse when it intersected an aquifer 122 m from the portal in its Pade Chu adit. Currently advancing with caution under the protection of 15 m probeholes. Larsen & Toubro has more than half completed its 975 m-long Gedu Chu access adit under C-3, and HCC has nearly completed its 301 m-long Mirchan Chu access adit on C-4. Jaiprakash is portalling at the surge shaft position on C-5. More information from mdthpa@druknet.net.bt October 1999. Shri R. N. Khazanchi, MD of Tala Hydroelectric Project Authority (THPA) in the Himalayan mountain kingdom of Bhutan, has commented on the widespread damage caused to the project by the unprecedented rainfall in early August. Flooding affected the five worksites strung out along the Wangchu river, washing out access roads and destroying workshops and machinery. Even the main highway from Phuntsholing, along which vital supplies are transported, was cut by landslides in a number of places. Measures have been initiated to minimise the impact on the commissioning schedule of the project, despite the severe losses of infrastructural facilities, construction equipment and civil engineering works. Undaunted, THPA has commenced the construction of two 400 kV double circuit transmission lines for the 1,020 MW project for export of surplus power to India through a proposed substation at Siliguri. The lines will be completed in 3 years time to match the commissioning of the generating units. Within Bhutan they will be installed by Larsen & Toubro, and from the Indo-Bhutan border for 1,500 km to Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, near Delhi, by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited.  Lyonpo Khandu Wangchuk, Minister for Trade, Industry & Power, Royal Government of Bhutan, who is also the chairman of THPA, commended the management and contractors for the speedy restoration of works.

Bolivia, Tarija Department - bo/14

Road

The Bolivian road administration (ABC) has started on 26th August the construction of the Falda de la Queí±ua bypass road tunnel, during an official ceremony held in El Molino in the Iscayachi municipality. The Falda de la Queí±ua bypass road, which forms part of the Potosi-Tarija road link, will reduce transport time from Potosi to Tarija, avoiding the Sama hill. The 1,220 m tunnel, located at El Condor mountain pass in the Tarija department, will be constructed by the La Queí±ua joint venture, led by construction company Roca, for USD8.4 million. The project will be supervised by the CPS-Belmonte joint venture. The detailed design of the Falda de la Queí±ua bypass road was carried out by the Ecoplan-Noronha joint venture. The tunnel will cross rock of Class III (Bieniawski) with some stretches falling within Class IV and Class V associated with faults. The west mouth is located at a height of 3,402 m above sea level whereas the east mouth lies at a height of 3,339 m asl. There is a 63 m difference in height between the two sides. The tunnel will make the existing road seven kilometres shorter and reduce in approximately 500 metres the altitude of the 100% mountainous road through the Sama hill. The portals will be cut in rock and stabilised with steel anchors, metallic netting and a concrete layer. The tunnel will be concluded in August next year.
