Construction and Completion of Yasuj Chain Power Plants

Employer: Iran Water & Power Resources Development Company

Consultant: Dezab Consulting Engineers co.

Location of the project: Yasouj

Duration of Project: 16 months

Description:

-The construction of three chambers of the power plant with concrete structures in accordance with the standards of industrial structures with landscaping to the level of foundation each, 800 m 2.

  • Concrete amount of 5,300 cubic meters
  • Reinforcement value 240,000 kg

Due to the combination of structures with the equipment, the foundation of the building is of particular complexity.

– Opening of the route and construction of the service road is in accordance with the standards of roads grade 2 earth, in the mountainous pass, and rocky land with a length of 2 km, volume of land operations of 120,000 m3 (excavation and dumping)

– Implementation of the Penstock pipeline with a diameter of 1,200 mm (48 inches) of steel in a mountainous pass, and land, in accordance with the standards of water transmission lines for 2 km.

– Intake of Concrete tank with a capacity of 30,000 cubic meters using geosynthetic materials (geomembrane, geotextile and geoderin) with an area of ​​12,000 square meters.

– Construction of a bypass with a 1100-meter-long polyethylene pipe and a 400-meter-long steel pipe with a steep slope of up to 55% including route channel and tubing operations.

In this part of the project, the company re-evaluated the design, by changing the option of a concrete step chute to a tube chute, for the first time in the design of these power plants, it was able to design and implement a tube chute. These chutes are subject to a hydraulic test and their performance is confirmed. As a result of this change, the running time was reduced by 80% compared to concrete chute.

 – Construction of a small deviation band with a dam crest length of 8 meters and a height of 3 meters from the river bed to adjust the flow rate to 1.60 m3 / sec. Concrete amount of 800 cubic meters.

 – Construction of 33 kV single circuit power transmission line and connecting to Yasouj substation with 52/7 km in mountainous pass.
