5. Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Project
The Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project is a 456 MW peaking run-of-the-river hydroelectric project
in Nepal.[1] It is the largest hydroelectric project in Nepal, and is expected to be completed in 2020.[2] It is sited on
the Tamakoshi River (also spelled Tamba Koshi), a tributary of the Sun Kosi river (also spelled Sunkoshi), near the
Nepal–Tibet border.
The Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project is a Nepal national priority project. When it is completed, it is
projected be the largest hydroelectric plant in Nepal, with a power output equivalent to two-thirds of Nepal's
current power generation.[3][4] The Project is entirely financed from domestic financial institutions and companies.
Financing and organization
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has established an autonomous company named Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower
Limited (UTKHPL) in March 2007 (2063/11/25 B.S.) as an executing agency for the implementation of the Project.
There are six full-time and two invitee members in the Board of Directors (BoD) at present. Out of six full-time
members, four members from NEA, one from Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and one from Nepal Telecom (NTC)
are representing in the BoD. Similarly, representatives of Citizen Investment Trust (CIT) and Rastriya Beema
Sansthan (RBS) are also in the BoD as invitee members.[5]
The majority share (51%) of the Company is held by four public entities, namely, Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA),
Nepal Telecom (NTC), Citizen Investment Trust (CIT) and Rastriya Beema Sansthan (RBS). NEA has 41% stake, NTC
has 6% and CIT & RBS each has 2% stake in the Company. Similarly, general public and residents of Dolakha
District will have 15% and 10% share respectively. The remaining 24% share will be taken over by contributors in
Employees Provident Fund (EPF), NEA & Companys staffs and staffs of financial institutions providing loans
6. Construction began in February 2011, and the project was originally slated for completion in July
2018, later pushed back to December 2018, and again pushed back to November 2019.[3][6][7]
Works suffered new delays in 2019, and the most recently announced completion date of
February 2020 is likely to be missed too.[2] Sinohydro is managing construction.[8]
The Nepalese Army was mobilized to provide security to the site in 2012, after it was reportedly
threatened by vandalism and threats to construction staff and foreign workers.[9] Work was
disrupted by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, after which over 200 Chinese workers were
evacuated.[3][10] Work was disrupted throughout the construction project by labor strikes.[11][12]
The earthquake also caused damage to roads and bridges and buried the troop barracks at the
site.[13]
In May, 2018, it was reported that the planned July completion date could be jeopardized by late
assembly of the turbomachinery that had been delivered to the site.[14] Later in May, the
country's finance minister said that the project was expected to contribute to robust national
economic growth in 2018.[15]
Installation of penstocks began in February 2019 by a European contractor after the original
Indian contractor failed to perform the work.[16] A new date of November 2019 was set for initial
energy production.
8. Pokhara Regional International Airport (Nepali: पोखरा क्षेत्रीय अन्तरााष्ट्रिय विमानस्थल) is
an under-construction airport in Pokhara, Gandaki Pradesh, Nepal. It is located 3 km (1.9 mi) east
of the existing domestic airport, at Majheri Patan. The construction of the airport started in April
2016 and is expected to be completed after five years in 2021 with a cost of around US$305
million. The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation awarded the contract to construct and
develop the airport to China CAMC Engineering.[1] The airport is expected to handle one million
passengers per year
Development
The concept of constructing an international airport in Pokhara was first developed in 1976,
when the Government of Nepal acquired land for the purpose.[3] In 1989, the Japan International
Cooperation Agency conducted a study regarding the construction of the airport.[4] However, the
project was reinitiated only in 2013 and one year later, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal
signed an agreement with China CAMC Engineering for the construction of the airport. In April
2016, prime minister KP Sharma Oli laid the foundation stone of the new airport
9. Facilities
When the airport comes into operation, it will have a 2,500 m (8,200 ft) runway
with a parallel taxiway that can accommodate medium range jets like Airbus
A320s and Boeing 737/757s. The airport will have a concrete runway and jet
bridges. The parking bays will be able to handle up to five narrow-body aircraft.
Two terminals, one domestic and one international, will be able to handle one
million passengers annually. The airport will have a 1,200-meter (3,900 ft) long
and 23-meter (75 ft) wide taxi-way which connects the runway with hangars,
terminals and parking bays. The airport will have a 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft)
international terminal building and a 4,000 m2 (43,000 sq ft) domestic terminal
building.

11. Melamchi Water Supply Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search Melamchi Water Supply Project (MWSP) is a project to
supply drinking water to Kathmandu by diverting 170 million liters of water per day. The project
started in 1998 and still is under construction as of 2020. The intake of this project is located in
Melamchi, Nepal. Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport (Nepal) is the executing
agency for the Project and Melamchi Water Supply Development Board is the implementing
agency.[1]
This project is mainly financed by Japan and the Asian Development Bank. About 57% of the
project cost is loan, 16% is grant and 26% is financed by the Nepalese government
12. Project description
The intake of the project lies in the Melamchi valley in the gorge below Ghwakan, just upstream
of the confluence of Melamchi River and Ribarma Khola. The main structure is the diversion weir,
river-training structures, and sediment exclusion basin. A gravity concrete weir is 5 to 7 m high
with the crest at an elevation of 1,425 m asl. The control system and the sediment exclusion
basin have a design capacity of 6m3/s. The sediment exclusion basins are double-chambered
with a length of 80 m each. [3]
The tunnel intake is at an elevation of about 1416m and the outlet is about 1,408 m asl. The
length of the tunnel from the intake to the water purification facilities in Kathmandu Valley at
Sundarijal is about 26 km. The tunnel is being excavated from adits at Ambathan, Gyalthum,
Sindhu and Sundarijal waterfall. The diversion flow in 6m3/s. The tunnel has a cross-sectional
area of 12.7 m2 and lined with shotcrete in most of the section; concrete lining is done only in
the weak rock formation. The tunnel is excavated by drill and blast method. The geology of the
areas consists mainly of gneiss with mica schist and laminated quartzite. [3]
The distribution work has nine service reservoirs at various locations in the Kathmandu
(Mahankalchaur, Bansbari, Paani Pokhari, Balaju, Khumaltar, Arubari, Tigni, Katunje and Kritipur).
The water from Sundarijal to service reservoir is supplied by a Bulk Distribution System (BDS).
The distribution to household is done by a network of pipes about 670 km long. About 540 km of
sewerage network will also be upgraded in this project.
13. Pushpalal (Mid-Hill) Highway (H18) (Nepali: पुरपलाल (मध्य-
पहाडी) लोकमार्ा (रा.१८))[1] is an ongoing road project in Nepal,
which is thought to be 1,776 kilometres (1,104 mi) long. After
completion, it will be the longest national highway of Nepal.
Nepal has three geographical regions from east to west, plain
land or Terai in south, higher mountains or Himalayas in north
and hills in middle region. The highway runs through the mid-
hills region only. It starts from easternmost hill at
Chiyabhanjyang of Panchthar District (Province No. 1) and ends
at westernmost hill at Jhulaghat of Baitadi District in far west
