hunting and winter sports.
A. General
The proposed Gahrait Swir Lasht Hydropower Project has its
dam site located on Chitral river about 35 km downstream of
Chitral city and about 150 m downstream of Kesu nullah
which is a left tributary of Chitral river. It joins with Chitral
River about 6 km upstream of Drosh Town. The powerhouse
site is proposed on the right bank of Chitral River about 4.5
km downstream of Drosh Town. Headrace tunnel 10,268 m
long will cross 2620 m high ridge in the middle and shall lead
to the surge shaft and then to the powerhouse. In the middle
of its length, the tunnel will cross a high ridge with an
overburden of about 1300 m. A few deep non-perennial
nullahs cross the head race tunnel alignment.
Chitral district lies in the northwestern part of the northern
Pakistan on the southern edge of the Eurasian Plate. It is
connected to Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(KP) province by road and plane service. The plane service is
frequently suspended due to bad weather and the road from
Peshawar to Chitral town remains closed for several months
in winter due to snowfall on the 3,200 meter high Lowari Pass
over the top of which the road passes. To cross the high
mountains of Lowari Pass, 8.5 Km long tunnel, which is
nearing completion, is partially opened for traffic when Lowari
top is not motorable.
B. Geology
Geological and geotechnical investigations carried out for the
feasibility study of the project. Geological and geotechnical
evaluation of the foundation conditions and the parameters
established for use in the design of various surface and
underground structures including the design of rock

excavation are based on the current status of field

investigations and laboratory works. To confirm and
supplement this data, further investigations are needed to be
carried out at detailed design stage of the project.
Dam site is accessible from Chitral to Drosh by a 38 Km long
metalled road. An unpaved jeepable track, about 1 Km long
leads to the left abutment of dam site. Powerhouse site is
approachable from the right bank Katcha track from Gahrait
to Swir Lasht through Drosh.
Relief of Chitral area is extreme and rough, forming up to
several thousand meters high ridges at places. Steep gorges
are found where major rivers and their tributaries incise the
lithologies. Overall, slopes are steep and show rock fallscree, mass movements and slumped structures at many
places. Quaternary deposits are found in the form of alluvial
sand, gravel and boulders in the stream beds; scree, talus,
and landslides debris on the slopes. Alluvial fans and
terraces are the common points of the human settlement and
cultivation.
The drainage system of the area is well developed and
structurally controlled. The streams are widest in the areas
where they cut soft lithologies such as shales, phylites and
slates but become narrower when pass though limestone,
marble and igneous formations.
Valley slopes are steep and show rock falls, scree and
slumped structures at many places. Quaternary deposits are
found in the form of alluvial sand, gravel and boulders in the
river bed, scree and land slide debris on the slopes. River
terraces are developed along the river with flat and gently
sloping surfaces and are being used for agriculture /
cultivation.
The Project area is affected by folds, reverse and thrust
faults. MKT and Reshun faults pass close by the dam site
and powerhouse area .
The underground powerhouse site at Swir-Lasht was
considered as apparently good location and remained
unchanged at the initial stage of the study. However,
geological mapping drilling and seismic hazard evaluation
studies indicated that the site is affected badly by the
presence / closeness of Main Karakoram Thrust (MKT).
Therefore another location about 3.5 km upstream was
selected for investigations. This location is at sufficient

distance from MKT

The powerhouse location and tunnel route apparently looked
favourable whereas examination of dam site indicated some
anomalies in geology, which required relocation of the dam
site.
With this consideration, a few more spots along the river in
the upstream and downstream were visited and a dam site
about 3 km downstream of GTZ site, 150 m downstream of
Kesu nullah was selected for feasibility studies. The dam site
is now called Kesu Dam site Gahrait Swir Lasht Hydropower
Project.
The Project site was investigated through various means,
upto the level of Feasibility Stage. The main investigations
included surface geological mapping. exploratory drilling,
Seismic Refraction Surveys, excavation of shafts in
overburden at the dam site and tailrace channel and
collection of discontinuity data at various engineering
structures, headrace and diversion tunnels and powerhouse
area. Test pits were excavated in the reservoir and
powerhouse tailrace areas and Chitral river to collect sandy
gravel samples for testing as concrete aggregates..
Discontinuity Survey was carried out at the dam site, intake
structure area, along the headrace and diversion tunnels and
powerhouse areas wherever access was possible and joints
were exposed. In most of the gently sloping areas, both
abutments are covered by scree, talus, debris of alluvium and
colluvial material and vegetation. In such areas and in zones
of weathered and fine material, the discontinuity planes are
missing. Similarly under the cliffs, where approach was
difficult and dangerous no discontinuity survey was carried
out. The following types of discontinuities were observed in
the field.
Granodiorite rock is exposed on both abutments. Dips and
strikes of beds being on the same side indicate no geological
break up or any anomaly between the two abutments.
Geological structure correlates with each other. The rock is
quite hard and strong and can withstand the loads imposed
by the proposed rock-fill dam. On the basis of RQD which is
mostly 70% to 80%, it is expected that Allowable Bearing
Capacity of rock will be 10 to 15 Mpa in accordance with the
relationship graph produced by US Army Corps of Engineers,
Foundation Engineering EM 1110-1-2908, 30 November

1994.
The geological mapping was carried out at a scale of 1:500
using recently produced topographic maps produced for the
feasibility study. Most of the reservoir area is covered with
alluvium and river banks with scree / talus material. These
deposits will be submerged and gradually silt up minimizing
the seepages through the river bed and abutment rocks. In
the reservoir area river passes through different rocks of
meta-sediments i.e. Kesu-Kaghozi granites, Reshun marbles,
Kaghozi green schists, Chitral slates and Gahrait lime stones.
These rocks are exposed on the right bank above reservoir
level except for about 200 m upstream of diversion tunnels
where these rocks are exposed at lower level within the
reservoir boundary. The outcrops of these formations have
been dissected by the tributaries of various nullahs.
Regionally, the outcrops of the hard resistant rocks
(granodiorites, slates, limestone) make ridges while black
schists, phyllites have been eroded to leave depressions or
hollows.
There are several instruments and monitoring devices which
are installed during tunneling or in post tunneling period,
wherefrom a lot of information about the stresses and their
build up or converging of roof, floor or walls is obtained.
Knowing deformation in the rock mass, it is possible to adopt
the type and dimensions as well as the timings of proper rock
support required to the actual ground conditions encountered
during the excavation process. Some of the instruments
which are generally used for tunnel monitoring.
Seven (7) test pits in the Chitral river (Reservoir area) and 2
test pits in the tailrace area of powerhouse and 2 in the river
bed were excavated and samples (one composite sample
from each pit) was collected for onward delivery to CMTL
Laboratory, Lahore for testing. Samples were tested to
assess suitibility of the materials as construction material
including concrete aggregates. Petrographic analysis was
carried out by the Geological Deptt. of University of the
Punjab and by Dr. Ashraf petrographer. Test pits could not be
excavated to more than 2.7 m depth due to encountering of
groundwater.

Geotechnical Engineering

Foundation Treatment of Main Dam

Geological conditions indicate that both abutments of the

main dam consist of granodiorite / quartz diorite. These rocks

are massive and moderately jointed and dip at 75 to 80
towards right abutment with strikes slightly oblique to the river
in the upstream dirction and form steep slopes of the river
valley. The rock mass is subjected to open joints, parallel and
perpendicular to the valley slope. These open joints are
source of high permeability (Lugeon values range from 20 to
45). The upper 5 m to 7 m zone is generally weathered. The
higher Lugeon values are not specific to any particular zone
but are generally scattered at different depths.
Bedrock was not encountered in the borehole in river valley
drilled upto 30 m depth. However geophysical surveys
indicated rock at 40 m depth. The material is heterogeneous
throughout and contains sandy gravel with boulders. A layer
of fine and loose sand exists from about 8 to 12 m depth and
another layer at 21 m depth. The permeability K-values are
1.1 x 10-2 cm/sec to 3.5 x 10-2 cm/sec. The sand layer at
shallow depth of 8 to 12 m is prone to liquefaction in
earthquake condition.
The abutments as well as river valley foundation material
requires treatment to minimize under seepage and improve
the foundation.
Under Seepage Control through River Bed Alluvium
To cut down under-seepage through the river alluvium,
plastic concrete diaphragm wallwill be provided. Plastic
concrete diaphragm wall will also be provided in the buried
valley area to cutoff seepage of reservoir water through the
buried valley.
Curtain Grouting in Rock
Grout curtains will be provided on both abutments. The
curtains on both abutments will be 25 to 30 m deep. The
depth of curtain may be adjusted depending upon data
obtained through primary holes. Some inclined holes will be
required from both abutments to tie into the cut off which will
be provided to seal river alluvium.
Grouting material will be Ordinary Portland Cement and fine
sand with varying percentage of water as required during
grouting. About 2% to 5% bentonite would increase flowability of the grout. Because of high permeability two rows of
grout curtain with 1.5 m spacing between the rows is
proposed.

Low pressure grouting from 1 to 5 bars and 3 m to 5 m deep

stages are recommended. For grouting, upstage or
downstage method can be used, even though down stage
method is preferable.
Grout curtain would be vertical or slightly inclined towards
downstream to cross as many beds as possible. For curtain
grouting on the abutments, initial hole spacing can also be 3
m all along the curtain alignment. The spacing can be
reduced by placing secondary and tertiary holes if required.
Treatment of Structures Foundations
The concrete structures that will be founded on excavated
rock foundations include intake structure of power system
and inlet and outlet of tunnel spillway / diversion tunnels. The
treatment of foundations of these structures will include
dental concrete and consolidation grouting as described in
the following.
Dental Concrete
Careful blasting is required so as not to disturb the foundation
rock beyond 0.5 m or so. After removing loose and
weathered zone, crevices, joints, pockets between the beds
and open cracks will be cleaned with the help of crow bars
and broomed. All cracks and joints shall be properly filled
preferably with slush grout and mortar. The surface
undulations shall be covered and filled with a layer of blinding
concrete using pea gravels as coarse aggregate.
Consolidation Grouting
Consolidation grouting will help in reducing leakage through
fractured zones and to provide a firm foundation for the
structure. Consolidation grouting will be required on both
abutments. The grouting will extend to about 5 m depth below
the foundation level.
The grout mix, grouting procedure, hole spacing etc. will be
similar to that described earlier for grout curtain.

Support Systems for Underground Works

Rock supports have been designed to improve the stability of
underground openings according to the ground conditions
likely to be encountered. This requires flexible support
methods which can be quickly adjusted to meet the
continuously changing quality of rock masses.
The Consultants have adopted RMR system for rock
classification of tunnels and GSI system for large chambers
and cut slopes.
Support System for Tunnels (RMR System)
a) Percentage of different Rock Classes
Summary of rock mass classes and rock quality of different
rocks likely to be encountered along the tunnels and

b) Initial Design of Supports

During excavation some form of initial ground support will be
required for stability. These ground supports are installed
shortly after excavation in order to maintain a stable and safe
opening during construction. Final supports are those
systems that need to maintain a functional opening for the
design life of the project. Initial supports also constitute a
substantial part of the final support.
The extent of support system will depend upon the type and
underground structure of the rock, extent of the deformation
and mechanical properties of the particular rock masses to be
traversed. Since excavation and constructions are not being
done at this stage, the field data regarding actual subsurface
rock conditions is not available. Using surface geological
maps, discontinuity data, laboratory test results and
information gained from drill holes and Rock Mass Rating
(RMR), maximum effort has been made to achieve the goal
for initial design of supports.
c) Rock Support Requirement using RMR System

Manual EM 1110-2-2901, 30 May 1997, US Department of

the Army Corps of Engineersare used for the project tunnels.
During actual excavations some modifications in the design
of supports will be required depending upon the exposed rock
conditions, especially in unexpected cases of heavy bursting
or popping, tensioned systematic bolts with enlarged bearing
plates may be used and spot bolting may also be needed.
During Detail Design Studies, design of rock bolts, anchors,
steel ribs and shotcrete analysis will be revised and any
changes in the design based on further field and laboratory
information, will be incorporated.
Support System for Powerhouse
To provide a feasibility level design of the powerhouse
complex caverns following studies were carried out.

Estimation of Geology and Structural features in the

areas of the underground structures.

Established rock mass properties for the rock masses

using Hoeks GSI classifications.

Assessed prevailing in-situ stresses in the areas of the

major underground excavations using 2D finite
element analysis.

Determined optimum orientations of the powerhouse

complex caverns with regards to structural geology.

Established feasibility design rock support measures

by carrying out 2-dimensional finite element analyses
of the powerhouse complex for estimating
deformations.

The analysis is based on:

Results of available geological investigations and

geotechnical evaluations made for the Project site;

Predication/ formulation of subsurface geological

models.

Gravity stress field with the parametric values of k

factor.

The 2D Finite Element method has been used to analyze

stress distributions around the excavations and to

11

complement the empirical approaches in assessing support

requirements for the powerhouse cavern. This interpretation
must be confirmed by further exploration work during the
detailed design phase of the project.
Estimation of Rock Mass Strength Parameters
The rock mass shear strength was estimated using the Hoek
and Brown failure criterion (Hoek et al., 1995, revised 2002).
Use of the Hoek-Brown criterion requires the estimation of
three parameters that describe the rock mass and its strength
characteristics:
GSI (Geological Strength Index), c
(compressive strength of intact rock material) and mi (a
constant based on the rock type). RocScienceRocLab 1.0
software was used to establish shear strength and
deformability parameters of the rock mass.
Parameters of Hoek and Brown Failure Criterion were
estimated for each GSI rock class with RocScienceRocLab
software. The following parameters were used for the quartz
diorite for evaluating the mb, s and a parameters.

Unconfined compressive strength (c): 70 MPa

mi:

29

Intact rock modulus of elasticity:

29,750 MPa

Using the RockLab 1.0 the other parameters mb, s and a

were determined for use in the finite element model.
A 2 meter thick zone of disturbed rock mass was wrapped
around the caverns periphery. It is assumed that this zone
would be the result of blasting damage during cavern
excavation. A disturbance factor D is taken as 0.5 and
accordingly the revised Hoek and Brown strength parameters
were evaluated for this zone. Other intact rock properties
were same as given above.
In Situ Stresses
The in-situ stresses impact on the design and stability of the
underground works particularly the powerhouse caverns. No
in-situ stress measurements have yet been made. The
orientation and magnitudes of the virgin stress field at the
proposed powerhouse complex location as well as along the
tunnels have been assessed on the basis of the tectonics in
the area.
The vertical stress is assumed to be equal to the product of

12

the unit weight of the rock mass and the depth below surface
and measured in situ stresses are usually in reasonable
agreement with this assumption (Hoek, 2003). For finite
element analyses, it was assumed that the maximum
horizontal principal stress is equal to the vertical stress.
It is generally believed that the earthquakes have minimal
impact on the underground structures. Therefore the seismic
loading in the present studies have not be taken into account.
Geotechnical Design Aspects of Power Station Complex
Horizontal as well as vertical locations of various powerhouse
complex caverns have been primarily fixed on the functional
requirements including minimization of penstock and draft
tube lengths, and avoiding crossing of major faults.
Geological conditions as revealed through investigations in
the area have been established and also taken into account.
Cavern Excavation Geometry
In view of the low strength of the rock mass, special concerns
are raised regarding excavation profile. Depending on the
existing in situ stresses, it is possible that significant
concentrations of stresses could develop close to the
perimeter of the caverns.
It is recommended to avoid any recesses, niches, or unusual
excavation profiles to accommodate electro-mechanical
equipment and cavern infrastructure (such as intake valve
recesses, stairwells, elevator shafts, etc.). In addition to
improving ease of construction, this will mitigate problems
associated with stress concentrations and the need for
extraordinary support measures. For economy, it is
suggested to leave rock pillars between the draft tubes below
the runners (turbine pits).
Rock Support Requirement
To minimize the yielding of the rocks around the caverns, the
conventional type of support like rock bolts and shotcrete
would be required.
The estimates of support requirements have been based on
investigations results and using numerical analysis of
powerhouse caverns using the finite-element program
PHASE2 (Rocscience, 2000);
Quantitative classification systems were used to examine the

13

range of possible conditions and to provide a basis for

determining the overall behaviour of the rock mass, although
deficiencies can be recognized in such empirical methods.
Rock mass classification methods are useful during the
earlier phases of a design and provide a way of obtaining a
first approximation of the level of support necessary for a
large cavern. They also provide means to compare
quantitatively different cavern layouts or tunnel alignments
when only limited rock mass data were available. They also
supply means for communication and for developing
construction cost parameters, either for comparative
purposes or for preparation of a construction cost budget.
Numerical methods were used to analyze stress distributions
around the excavations.
The results were used to
complement the empirical approaches in assessing support
requirements.
Empirical Selection of Rock Anchor Lengths
USACE and Barton guidelines for the selection of rock
anchor lengths for large caverns were used.
USACE and Barton (1989) relationships compute similar rock
anchor lengths. These show that anchor lengths should be
5.9 m to 6.5 m in the crown of a 26 m wide cavern. Wall
anchors should be 5.5 m to 5.8 m long in 25 m high caverns
and 11 to 12 m long in 60 m high caverns. The bolts or
cables should extend 2 or 3 m beyond the limit of the zone of
overstressed material and may need to be longer than shown
above in overstressed zones.
Experience shows that blast damage may extend 1.5 to 3 m
into the rock adjacent to the roof depending upon how much
care has been taken to control the blasting. Assuming that 3
m of rock have been damaged by either stress induced or
blast induced fracturing; a dead weight of broken rock of up
to 0.9 MPa of exposed surface of the cavern roof has to be
supported. Hoek (2004) notes that where this support is to be
provided by means of rock bolts, a factor of safety of 1.5 to 2
is usually allowed to account for installation problems and to
provide some reserve support capacity.
It should be noted that, in reality, the zone of loosened/blast
damaged rock is not as clear cut as the above criteria
suggest. Nevertheless, rock support dimensioned on this
basis will generally provide sufficient restraint against
loosened blocks and most structural wedges in the crown and

14

walls.
Preliminary Rock Support Design for Powerhouse
Caverns
Preliminary rock support designs for the powerhouse caverns
are based on the following:

Anchor lengths should be equal to or greater than the

empirical values presented in table above. It should
be noted that the presence of crown wedges may
necessitate the used of crown anchors that are longer
than the computed 6.0 m. Additionally all, anchors
should penetrate through stress or blast damaged rock
in the walls and crowns of the caverns. Longer
anchors may be needed locally or in large areas to
properly support sliding or falling structural wedges.

Fully grouted, tensioned rock anchors should be used.

Generally 32 to 40 mm diameter steel bars should be
used in the large caverns. Smaller bars should be
used only in the smaller tunnels, away from the
stressed ground of the powerhouse complex.

A 50 cm layer of fibre or mesh reinforced shotcrete

should be applied to the walls and crown of the
powerhouse caverns. This element of the support
system is essential to ensure the integrity of the rock
mass near the excavation surface and prevent sliding
and fall-out of rock blocks and fragments between the
rock anchors. It is, however, normal practice to neglect
this support when computing overall support pressures
in tall caverns with a relatively flat crown arch because:
o

There is little or no arching effect in the large

radius crown area and none in the flat walls.

Shotcrete installation quality is often very

inconsistent in large caverns and the shotcrete
shell frequently does not meet design
intentions.

The following table presents preliminary rock support

recommendations for the powerhouse complex caverns. As
can be seen in the table, the wall rock anchors for the larger
caverns are longer than the crown anchors. This is
compatible with the PHASE2 finite element analysis results
(discussed in the next section) which show that the zone of
overstressed rock is much thicker in the walls than in the

15

crown.

Numerical Analysis Procedure

The hybrid finite element program, PHASE2 (RocScience
Inc.) was used to perform preliminary analyses of stresses
around a typical section of powerhouse complex for the
GahraitSwirLasht Hydropower Project, which would involve
powerhouse and transformer cavern, and a downstream
collection / surge chamber. This is a finite element program
for calculating stresses and estimating support around
underground excavations. Input values for the physical and
mechanical properties of the rock mass were as presented
earlier.
Several cases were examined, along with construction
staging. Each stage consisted of: excavate, install support,
and equilibrate. The stability analysis was done on the
material to perform isotropic elastic behaviour. The
discontinuities are not considered as the modal deal with the
homogeneous, continuum material.
Numerical Analysis of Power Complex
One of the objectives was to investigate parametrically a
range of in situ stresses that could prevail at the site and
influence excavation stability and support requirements. Only
a brief summary of the results of these analyses will be
discussed in this section.
The basic dimensions of the numerical model, as described
below and is indicated on following figures, considered the

16

following excavations:

Powerhouse cavern
Transformer cavern:
Downstream surge/collection chamber:
Separation (clear distance) between caverns:

50 m high, 24-m span

29 m high, 25 m span
20 m high, 6.5 m span
40 m

The complex is situated in a quartz diorite rock mass of

varying properties. Ubiquitous joints, shear, or faults were
not included in the model during this phase. The cavern
crown is at about 500 m beneath the ground surface.
Material Properties used in Model
The material properties used in this analysis are as listed
earlier in this chapter. Only the Hoek-Brown rock failure
criterion was used in the FEM analysis. Intact rock modulus
value of 29,750 MPa was used in the PHASE2 analysis.
The following in-situ stresses were used for the cavern
analyses.

Vertical stress is the gravitational resulting from the

overlying rock cover.

In plane horizontal stresses (Kh): The base case

results presented herein are based on a k factor of 1.0
times the vertical stress.

Out of plane horizontal stresses (Kh): The out of plane

horizontal stresses were assumed to be equal to the
vertical stress for the base case analyses presented
herein. .

Results of the stress analyses are examined using PHASE2

in terms of major and minor stresses, stress trajectories,
strength factors (ratio of rock strength vs. computed stresses)
and displacement contours.
The conclusions of the base case analyses are as follows:

All three caverns and the pillar area are stable under
the assumed base case loading.

De-stressing takes place in the middle portion of the

cavern sidewalls. This extends to various depths,
depending on the magnitudes and orientations of insitu stresses.

17

Rock mass yielding occurs around the perimeter of the

caverns, within the blast damaged zone. There also
yielding in distressed zones at depths of 4 to 10 m into
the sidewalls of the caverns. Yielding occurs in the
floor and crown of the caverns also. The design rock
anchors penetrate the full depths of all areas showing
rock mass yielding.

The addition of rock support reduces the numbers of

yielded points and also improves the strength factor in
the rock mass adjacent to the caverns.

Maximum displacement for the main cavern is 2.5 cm

at crown considering excavation in different phases
and reach upto 13 cm for side walls. Rock support at
side walls are therefore considered of greater lengths
i.e. full length rock bolts of 10-15m long.

Design of Cut Slopes

Open cut excavated slopes are required for various
components of the Project. The important cut slopes include
those for power intake and outlet portals. Feasibility level
design of the above cut slopes, has been carried out and
presented in the following. Geological and geotechnical data
collected during the feasibility studies as discussed in the
preceding sections has been used for evaluation and
analyses of the required cut slopes. The data included:

Topographic maps

Surface geological maps

Discontinuity data

Drill hole data

Laboratory test results

Rock Cut Slope Analysis Parameters

The parameters used in the analysis and their source are

Stability Analysis of Cut Slopes at Power Intake Portals

Failures of single berm faces are the most important cause of
instability in large excavations. The usual berm height is 20 m
and berm faces are inclined at 76 degrees.In this case failure
may partly occur through intact rock. For example a failure
surface can run along a deep seated single or composite
discontinuity behind the slope and break through the rock
mass at the toe of the slope. Therefore cohesion of 300 KPa
is also taken into account along with phi equal to 40 degrees
for the rock mass. The power intake cut slope is designed to
be excavated at 0.25H:1V with 5 m wide berm spread at 15
m height.

Construction Material

Almost all components of the project except main dam are to

be constructed of concrete. The main dam will be an asphaltconcrete face rockfill type of dam. Therefore, construction of
the project requires concrete making materials, and fills
materials for the dam.
Construction material studies have been carried out to
identify and evaluate sources of the various construction
materials for the project works. The studies included
reconnaissance of the potential borrow areas, plan and carry
out field investigations including excavation of test pits,
laboratory testing of material samples and evaluation of the
sources. Details of the study are given in the following.
Concrete Making Materials
About 1.5 million m3 of conventional concrete will be required
for the project works. The estimated quantities of coarse
aggregates and fine aggregates are 1.5 million m3 and 0.70
million m3 respectively. About 0.6 million tones ofcementitious
materials (cement and pozzolanic materials) will also be
required for production of concrete. In addition, 97,000
tonnes of reinforcing steel will also be required for the project.
Sources of Coarse Aggregates
Natural coarse aggregates are not available in sufficient

20

quantities around the proposed dam site. Coarse aggregates

would therefore have to be manufactured for which following
sources have been identified and evaluated for their
suitability in concrete construction:
1. River alluvium (Reservoir area and powerhouse
tailrace area)
2. Material available from required excavations
River Alluvium
Boulders and gravels of hard limestone quartzite, slates,
dolomite, granite, granodiorite form the major part of
sediments of Chitral river and are available in abundance. For
evaluation of the alluvial deposits, test pits were excavated in
the potential borrow areas in the proposed reservoir area and
the tailrace area.
Excavation of test pits has shown that the Chitral river
alluvium is composed of gravels and pebbles with some
boulders and small proportion of sand. The natural gravels
will have to be crushed to produce coarse concrete
aggregate.The gravels are generally hard, sound, durable
and resistant to abrasive forces.
Petrographic Analysis shows thatmaterial from river has
some contents of deleterious material and can be used as
concrete aggregate with some addition of slag.
Material Available from Required Excavations
The major rock formation at the dam site is massive quartz
diorite / granodiorite which are considered to be suitable for
use as concrete aggregate. Excavation for diversion and
power intake and tunnels will produce a large quantity of rock
material. Selected material from the required excavations can
be crushed to produce coarse concrete aggregate.
Petrographic analysis for ASR potential of these rocks has
shown 7% to 25% deleterious material and slag cement will
have to be used.
Sources of Fine Aggregate
The potential sources of fine aggregate (sand) include natural
sand and manufactured sand. Studies conducted in this
regard are described in the following.

21

Natural Sand
Reconnaissance of the project site and the area around has
been carried out to explore suitable sources of fine
aggregates in close vicinity of the project area. It has been
found that sand from Chitral river is being used for
construction of Lowari Tunnel and the borrow area is located
close to the Gahrait-SwirLasht hydropower project site. Sand
from the same area is proposed to be borrowed for the
project. Slag cement will have to be used.
Manufactured Sand
The rocks at the site are moderately strong and generally
suitable for manufacturing of crushed sand. However it will be
difficult to crush the hard rock in locally available crushers
and heavy duty imported crushers would be required.
Cement
The cement factories nearest to the project are located close
to Haripur and around Islamabad and the factories have
sufficient capacity to fulfil the project needs.
Pozzolanic Materials
The origin of the gravel boulder material is sedimentary,
igneous and metamorphic. Petrographic analysis has shown
presence of deleterious material with potential of ASR.
Therefore either replacement of part of the Ordinary Portland
Cement will be done with a pozzolanic material or low alkali
cement will be used.
Water
Water from Chitralriver will be used for the project works,
which is available throughout the year. The water is potable.
However it contains sediments including some collidle
particles.
Steel
Several factories in the country produce reinforcing steel, in
the form of both plain and deformed bars. The nearest
location from where the reinforcing steel bars of desired
specifications and required quantity are available is
Islamabad. Both hot and cold rolled bars reinforcing steel
bars are available at Islamabad.

22

Steel sheets of various thicknesses are produced by the

Steel Mills at Karachi, which can be used to fabricate steel
formwork. These can also be used for fabricating steel liners
and other miscellaneous items. Steel items can also be
imported, most likely from neighbouring countries.
Dam Construction Materials
Asphalt-concrete face rockfill type of dam (AFRD) is
proposed to be constructed at the diversion site of the
project. The fill material requirements for various zones of the
dam are given in the following table.

Materials for zones 1A and 1B will be borrowed from terraces

on bank of Chitralriver in the vicinity of the dam site. Grizzly
operation may be required to meet the requirements of these
materials.
Material for sand and gravel filter (Zone 2A) will be similar to
concrete aggregate and can be produced on the aggregate
processing plant installed for production of concrete
aggregate.
Sand and gravel material (Zone 2B) can be borrowed from
the proposed reservoir area. Grizzly operation will be
required to exclude cobbles and larger material.
Rock fill materials (Zones 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D) will be
obtained from the required excavations. The material will be
used with due regard to the size requirements. Rock material
available from the required excavations will be many times in

23

excess of that required for the dam construction. Therefore,

only selected material comprising hard rock will be placed in
the dam fill.
E.

Hydrology & Sedimentation

The proposed Gahrait Swir Lasht Hydropower Project has its

dam site located on Chitral River about 35 km downstream of
Chitral District Headquarters near Gahrait village. The
powerhouse site is about 8 km downstream of Drosh Town
near Swir-Lasht Village.
Chitral River rises in the far north of Chitral District in
Pakistan. Chitral River, before flowing south into the upper
Kunar Valley in Afghanistan, where it is referred to as the
Kunar River.
The available Hydro-meteorological data such as daily and
rainfall, relative humidity, precipitation, temperatures,
sunshine, discharge and sediment data etc. has been
collected and used for determining power potential, maximum
floods and flow duration curve.
To study the climatology of the proposed Gahrait Swir Lasht
Hydropower Project, analysis have been carried out for
several climatological stations in the Chitral valley. Efforts
have been made to assess the most representative values for
the climatological parameters of the project area.
The drainage area of the dam site on the Chitral River is
approximately 13,419 km2. The mean elevation of the
catchment area is 4,282 m.a.s.l. Most of the watershed
remains covered with snow and glaciers in winter season.
The flow in the river is mainly due to glacier and snow
melting.
The drainage area of Chitral River at Chitral is 11,396 km2.
The maximum mean annual discharge was 367.4 m3/sec in
1973 and the minimum mean annual discharge was 188.4
m3/s in 1964. The river is snow fed and flows steady
throughout the year with some additional rainfall runoff
contribution during monsoon in June through September.
Flow Study for the Dam Site
Flow study has been conducted for the most likely alternative
dam site. The study includes the flow data, approach to
generate flow at the dam site, average daily flows at the dam

24

site, average 10-day; average monthly and annual flows at

the dam site and flow duration curves.
For generation of the flow data, main emphasis has been
placed on the flow data of Chitral gauging station which is
available from 1964 to 2010 (47 years). It has been
considered that this length of the data record can be
confidently applied to any flow analysis based on probabilistic
theories for the dam site.
Chitral stream gauging station is situated about 62 km
upstream of the powerhouse site. The watershed areas of
Chitral stream gauging station and Swir-Lasht Powerhouse
site are 11,396 and 14,331 km2, respectively 25.75 %. The
linear relationships can be used for the extrapolation of the
flow data from Chitral gauging station to the powerhouse site.
The daily flows were transformed from Chitral gauging station
to the powerhouse site by adopting appropriate multiplication
factor as 1.26 (14331/11396).
Flood Studies
For the design of spillway structure and temporary diversion
facilities during construction of Gahrait Swir Lasht
Hydropower Project, estimation of various flood discharges is
required. For this study, the maximum instantaneous peak
discharge data of Chitral stream gauging station was used.
Using GTZ Regional Analysis Approach, regional flood
equations were used to estimate the flood magnitudes
corresponding to 5, 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 return periods
as a function of their respective watershed areas.
Flood Frequency Analysis by Statistical Approach was
carried out using the instantaneous flood peak data of Chitral
gauging station, which was available for 47 years (19642010) except 1968 where peak discharge value was not
available due to breakage of suspension bridge.
Floods corresponding to 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and
10,000 years return period were computed using six flood
frequency distribution functions, i.e. Normal, 2 Parameter Log
Normal, 3 Parameter Log Normal, Gamma, Pearson Type-III,
and Gumbel. Mean Relative Deviations (MRD) were also
computed for each distribution function results. Considering
the results of the MRD, it is revealed that 3-Parameter
Lognormal distribution function with Method of Moments best
fits the flood data of Chitral.

25

The estimated floods were also compared with the floods

computed by GTZ regional approach at the proposed dam
and powerhouse sites. Log Pearson Type-III distribution has
been selected for calculating flood discharges at the dam and
powerhouse sites.

F. Sediment Studies
Sediment discharge data of seven sediment gauging stations
were collected from the SWHP, WAPDA and Pakhtunkhwa
Energy Development Organization (PEDO) which was used
for the estimation of sediment yield for the watershed using
regional analysis approach.
To carryout detailed sediment analysis of the watershed area,
data of Chitral sediment gauging stations was collected and
used. Sediment loads for the dam site are calculated by
transforming the data from Chitral gauging station to the dam
site and are verified with the observed sediment data for the
dam site at Khairabad Bridge by the present Consultants.
The Gahrait Swir Lasht reservoir area was modeled using
geometric and sediment data. SHARC model was developed
for one year to determine the data deposites in the reservoir.
G.
Seismic Hazard
Gahrait Swir Lasht hydropower project site is located south of
Chitral city, in Chitral district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province
of Pakistan. It is located close to the collisional zone between
the Indian and the Eurasian tectonic plates. The region in
which the project is located has been subjected to
earthquakes in the past, therefore, a study of tectonic and
earthquake history of the region has been conducted to
assess the seismic hazard to which the proposed project may
be exposed. Realistic seismic design parameters for safe
design of the project components have also been evalualted.
The seismic hazard evaluation for the project has been
conducted through a study of regional geological and tectonic
information collected from the available literature and maps
and collection of historical and instrumental earthquake
records. On the basis of this data, the critical tectonic
features affecting the project area were identified and seismic
hazard evaluation then conducted in accordance with the

26

ICOLD guidelines (1989, Revised 2010) for selecting the

seismic design parameters.
The project site is located close to the contact between
Kohistan island arc and the Eurasian mass represented by
Shyok suture zone (MKT). The major faults of the Chitral area
include, from south to north, the Shishi Fault, Main
Karakoram Thrust, Reshun Fault and Tirich Mir Fault.
The available seismicity record for the region in which the
project is located can be classified into the following two
types:

Historical Seismicity

Instrumental Seismicity

For seismic hazard evaluation the guidelines provided by

International Commission on Large Dam (ICOLD) for
selecting seismic parameters for large dams (1989) have
been followed. A brief description of the methodology of the
approaches to be used for the seismic hazard analysis in
accordance with ICOLD guidelines.
Empirical correlations have been developed between
maximum potential of a fault and key fault parameters like
rupture length, fault area, fault displacement and slip rate.
Out of these fault parameters, only fault lengths are known
with sufficient accuracy. For the faults near the site, the full
length rupture of the nearest segment of the fault have been
taken and for others half rupture length have been taken and
the maximum earthquake magnitudes (in moment magnitude
MW scale) of these segments were calculated using Wells &
Coppersmith (1994), Nowroozi (1987) and Slemmons et al.
(1982) relationships between fault rupture length and
magnitude potential which are given in Table 5.1 below. For
the deep Hindukush Seismic Zone, the maximum magnitude
was selected by adding 0.5 in the maximum recorded
earthquake magnitude.
As failure of dam of the Gahrait-Swir Lasht Hydropower
project would not present a great social hazard, SEE may be
taken lower than the MCE. For this project, the most critical
tectonic feature controlling the MCE is the Reshun Fault
which may cause maximum acceleration at the project site.
Based on results of the deterministic analysis given in Table
5.2, the average value of peak horizontal ground acceleration

27

(PGA) obtained at site associated with Maximum Credible

Earthquake (MCE) along Reshun Fault at the closest
distance from site is about 0.69g (which is equivalent to more
than 10,000 year return period ground motion in Probabilistic
Analysis). However designer can chose a lower Safety
Evaluation Earthquake (SEE) acceleration considering the
economical hazard involved as per ICOLD Guidelines
(Revised 2010) which recommends to adopt 3,000 year
return period ground motion for Moderate Risk Dam and
1,000 year return period ground motion for Low Risk Dam. As
the dam may be categorized as Moderate Risk Dam as per
risk class of the dam given in ICOLD Guidelines (1989),
therefore the recommended ground motion for SEE is 0.42g
(corresponding to a return period of 3,000 year).
As per ICOLD guidelines, the ground motion for the OBE for
the dam will usually have a return period of 145 year. The
recommended PGA for OBE is therefore 0.18g which has a
return period of 145 year. The purpose of the OBE design is
to protect against economic losses from damage or loss of
service for all project structures. The performance
requirement is that the project functions with little or no
damage or interruption under OBE conditions.
For the design of all other appurtenant structures of the
project including tunnel and power house structure, ICOLD
recommends to use ground motion having 475 year return
period which is termed DBE accelerations (Weiland, 2011).
The recommended ground motion for DBE is therefore 0.26g.
H.

Project Layout

GTZ (2001) Previous layout & Design Studies

Gahrait Swir Lasht Hydro Power Project was first identified
and conceptually designed by GTZ (2001) as a run-of-river
scheme. It was proposed that a small live storage in the
reservoir upstream of the dam can be used for daily peaking.
The gross head available from the intake to the powerhouse
site was estimated as 125 m. It was also estimated that with
this head and selected layout, design capacity of the
powerhouse would be 340 MW.

28

Selected Project Layout Studies

This Section identifies the most promising layout among
various alternatives for Gahrait-Swir Lasht Hydropower
Project. It contains review of previous studies, dam site
alternatives and preliminary design for comparing various
economic indicators of the alternatives. Five alternatives were
proposed for the layout studies.Three alternatives were
screened out based on initial assessment and two were
carried forward for detailed evaluation of economic,
environmental and construction aspects and most suitable
alternative for the project was selected. The selected layout
was then studies for the optimization.
Scope of the Project Layout Studies
The scope of the project layout studies is summarised as
follows:

Review of previous layout alternative studies.

Evaluation of the alternatives proposed in the Inception

Report. Comparison of power potential for different
layouts, geological and socio-environmental conditions
and selection of promising alternatives for detailed
analysis and optimization.

Preliminary design of different components.

Preparation of cost estimates.

Selection of most promising site for dam, powerhouse and

their appurtenant structures based on environmental and
technical merit and economic indicators. Salient features/
project data of project layaout are enclosed.
I.

Dam Design

The type of dam on any site is largely influenced by the

foundation conditions in the river valley. At the Gahrait site,
bed rock in the Chitral river valley is overlain by alluvium. The
depth of bedrock was not known from the site identification
studies of the project. From the drilling and seismic survey
carried out during the feasibility study, it is assessed that
bedrock is about 40 m deep in the center of the river valley.
The subsurface investigations carried out through drilling

29

have further revealed existence of a sand layer at 6.0 to 12.5

m depth in the center of the river valley.
This geologic information along with availability of
construction materials, time of construction, cost etc have
been given due consideration in selection of type of dam on
Chitral river at Gahrait and the following dam types have
been considered.

Concrete Gravity Dam

Hardfill Dam

Earth Core Rockfill Dam (ECRD)

Asphalt-Concrete Core Rockfill Dam (ACRD)

Concrete Face Rockfill Dam (CFRD)

Asphalt-Concrete Face Rockfill Dam (AFRD)

Feasibility level design of the Asphalt Concrete Faced Rockfill

Dam (AFRD) has been carried out. Most design details are
developed based on precedent and on an understanding of
the foundation conditions and the construction materials to be
used in the dam.
The dam has been proposed with both upstream and
downstream slopes of 1.8H:1V, which can be optimized at
the detailed design stage. The rockfill materials will be
obtained mostly from excavations in rock for the power and
diversion intakes and tunnels. A plastic concrete partial cutoff
has been proposed to control seepage through alluvial
foundations.
J.

Hydraulic Design Studies

Gahrait Swir Lasht Hydropower project is a run-of-river

peaking scheme on Chitral River in Chitral Region. The
project is planned to utilize the reach of Chitral River between
village Kesu and Swir Lasht to generate 377 MW power by
constructing the following Civil Engineering Structures:
Main dam, which is Asphalt-Concrete Face Rockfill Dam
(AFRD) of 34 m height.
Four tunnel spillway comprising four tunnels, with intake 185

30

m upstream of the dam axis on right bank of Chitral river that

can pass design flood of 3538 m3/s at maximum flood level of
1341.00 m asl.These tunnels will also serve three additional
purposes: as River Diversion tunnels (to pass flows through it
during the construction of main dam), as flushing tunnels (for
flushing of reservoir near the dam area) and for release of
environmental flows (15 m3/s) downstream of the dam..
Fish pass which consists of a channel leading from the
headwater to the tailwater by installing cross-walls to form a
succession of stepped pools.
Lateral power Intake structure on right bank of Chitral River
that comprises four intake structures to draw the design and
flushing discharge of 516 m3/s to desanders.
Two rectangular connecting tunnels of 7.00 m x 3.00 m size
to convey discharge from each intake to desanders.
Transitions of 20 m length, starting from the end of
connecting tunnels and ending at the start of desander
chamber.
Four underground desanders comprising pressurized
chambers starting from the end of each transition. Each
pressurized Sand trap Chamber is 525 m in length, 20.30 m
high, arched shaped and concrete lined.
Eight flushing connecting tunnels (two for each desander)
starting from the end of desander chamber to main flushing
tunnel. The length of flushing connecting tunnel varies from
124 m to 183 m, invert level at upstream is 1308.90 m
asl.These tunnels are steel lined for erosion resistance.
Two main flushing tunnels starting from the end of connecting
tunnels to the outfall Structure. Each main flushing tunnel is
D-shaped (8.20 m x 6.15 m) with invert El.1308.90 m asl at
upstream.
Flushing system outfall structure (920 m d/s of dam axis),
with upstream invert El.1308.49 m asl and downstream invert
El.1296.26 m asl, with chute blocks and sloping concrete
floor slab.Both the structures are provided with steel lining to
withstand erosion due to flushing material.
Adits and lift wells upstream of Headrace tunnel.
Main headrace (Power) tunnels (Circular shaped, with
reinforced concrete lining), diameter 9.5 m, two numbers,

31

length 10.308 km and 10.285 km (average.10,214 km),

upstream Invert level 1317.10 m asl, terminating at the Surge
Shaft at the downstream end before the powerhouse and
pressure shaft.
Surge shaft, two numbers, one for each headrace tunnel,
height 79 m and diameter 10 m.
Two concrete lined pressure shafts of 6.50 m diameter
having average length of 92.20 m
Two steel lined penstocks with 6.50 m diameter and average
length of 78.00 m.
Underground power house with four Francis turbines.
Four D-shaped 9.00 m x 7.80 m (W x H) tailrace tunnels
having average length of 4,130 m carrying discharge from the
draft tubes to tailrace tunnels.
The main dam on Chitral River is an Asphalt-Concrete Face
Rockfill Dam (AFRD) with its crest level at elevation 1343.00
m asl i.e. 34 m above the riverbed level. The dam is founded
on river alluvium comprising gravels, cobbles with some
boulders and a sand layer. Due to the reason that spillway
cannot be accommodated on the rockfill dam and appropriate
space for spillway was not available on either abutment,
tunnel spillway comprising four tunnels has been provided at
the right bank of Chitral River. Construction sequence is
planned in a way that dam construction will be started after
construction of the spillway tunnels. These tunnels will also
be utilized to pass the diversion flood and the environmental
flows. The spillway tunnels have been designed to safely
pass 1000-year return period flood. In order to maintain and
keep power intake free of sediment build up, the spillway
tunnels are located on lower level close to the main dam and
immediately downstream of power intakes and these will be
used periodically to flush sediments from the reservoir.
Due to the steep river bed gradient, it is expected that large
size boulders will be carried along the river bed towards the
dam with the possibility of blocking the flushing tunnels. To
prevent this from occurring, provision has been made to clear
the reservoir bed area of all movable boulders at construction
stage and dispose them off to waste or make other uses
before impoundment of the reservoir. In addition, before

32

operation of the project, construction of a boulder trap at the

upstream end of the reservoir has been proposed. The
boulder trap will prevent enrtry of moving boulders and
coarse bed material in the reservior. Another bouder trap
each has also been proposed on Kesu Gol above normal
operating reservoir level (1337m asl) for the same purpose
and Gahrait Gol.
Diversion of Chitral River during construction of the dam will
be accomplished by construction of upstream and
downstream coffer dams. Construction of the diversion/
spillway tunnels and their intakes and also the power intakes
will be carried out using conventional ring type coffer dams
constructed to isolate the works from the river and also to
provide sufficient working space including access.
The headrace commences at the power intakes on the right
bank with four short connecting tunnels connecting the
intakes to four desander chambers and thereafter to two low
pressure headrace tunnels. The desander chambers are
provided with flushing tunnels and gates for evacuation of
sediment. Gates have also been provided at the downstream
end for closing each chamber as required for maintenance
while allowing rest of the chambers to operate and enable
continuous reduced power generation.
At the downstream end of each headrace tunnel, a surge
shaft is provided to limit pressure rise in the waterway system
and to allow flexibility and safety against sudden shutdown of
turbines. A vertical pressure shaft, a horizontal pressure
tunnel and short penstocks lead to four vertical shaft francis
turbines through four manifolds arranged for underground
powerhouse. Transformers are arranged in an underground
cavern separated from the powerhouse. The switchyard is
located on the ground at some distance. Four 4,130 m long
tailrace tunnels release the generation outflows in an open
channel and further to the Chitral River.

Structural Design Studies

Design Approach:
Conventional design approach and simpler structures
configuration and/or construction procedure is adopted in the
design process due to the remote location of the project. For

33

better explanation of the structural design approach, the

design requirements, which include design considerations,
functional requirements and sizing of the structural
components; is discussed generally separately for each
component, under separate subheading?
Use of Concrete Classes AA to E having 35 Mpa to 10 Mpa
Strength has been proposed.
Except the limited superstructure portion of the powerhouse
housed in a cavern (not requiring conventional roofing
system), Control Room at the Power Intake, other small gate
control / operation and/or security related structures, and
residential or office buildings, the project structures falls in the
category of hydraulic structures. General design, criteria
requirements and method of design, of hydraulic structures is
detailed below. Provided discussion is limited to the design
requirements and considerations of general applicability for
hydraulic structures, and particular requirement or
considerations for any specific structure is generally not
discussed in the structures design criteria.
Minimum concrete strength and / or cement content and
hydraulic factor (BM = 1.30, direct tension = 1.65 and shear
1.30) have been adopted as specified in ACI 350R-01.
Loads considered in the design include dead loads and
permanent fixtures, imposed (live) loads, operation impact,
earth pressure, hydrostatic pressure, water hammer, uplift
(over entire base area), buoyancy (corresponding to loss of
weight of submerged portion of the structure), gust (in
accordance with ANSI Code), seismic inertial force applied at
CG and hydrodynamic forces (based on Westergaard
equation). Structure proportions are generally governed by
hydraulics, structural stability (in OBE, MCE, High Flood
conditions); and functional requirements (access, freeboard,
water-tightness etc). Design loads and loading conditions are
categorized as normal, exceptional and extreme. PMF or
maximum gust loads are not combined with seismic forces.
Seismic Factors
The seismic hazard evaluation for Gahrait-Swir Lasht
Hydropower project was carried out through a study of all
available geological, tectonic and seismicity data of the
region in which the project is located and in accordance with

34

the ICOLD guidelines for selecting seismic parameters for

large dams (1989, Revised 2010).
The PGA of 0.18g having a return period of 145 year is
recommended for dam for ground shaking associated with
Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE). All the water retaining
components of the project should remain fully functional
under the OBE associated ground motions.
All the appurtenant structures of the dam, tunnel and power
house are recommended to be designed for PGA of 0.26g
which is associated with ground motion of Design Basis
Earthquake (DBE).
Reinforcement Design
Reinforcement design shall be based on grade 425 (grade
60) deformed reinforcement bars conforming to ASTM A 615
or an equivalent standard (BS 4446), with yield strength =
425MPa, for use as main or distribution reinforcement in
general structures, except Y10 (#3), and Y12 (#4) bars used
as column ties, beam stirrups, or dowels (between the First
Stage and Second stage Concrete), which may be deformed
or plain round grade 250 (mild steel) bars, with fy = 250MPa
(36ksi). Use of Deformed Cold Worked Bars conforming to
BS 4449 or an equivalent Austrian (Originator Country)
Standard shall not be allowed.

Mechanical Equipment Studies

Mechanical equipment and systems will include turbines,

governors, inlet valves, gates, stoplogs, trashracks, cranes
and hoists etc.

35

As stated above, the net head at rated discharge of

430m3/sec is 95.89m. Four (04) Francis turbines have been
selected, each with a rated flow of 107.5m3/s. This selection
ensures that at least one (01) unit will keep running at 50%
flow without cavitation all time of the year as recommended
by international best practices.
For determining appropriate unit capacity, both technical and
economic aspects have been investigated. The factors which
have been considered in the comparison comprise equipment
dimensions, transport limitations, power and energy benefits,
manufacturing experience, power system regulation, and cost
estimates.

The rated power output of the four turbines is 377.280 MW at

a rated net head of 95.89 m and rated discharge of 107.5
m3/s, with turbine efficiency of 93.3%. The rated capacity
corresponds to turbines outputs of 94.319 MW from each
turbine.
The following design parameters have been selected for
turbine:

Electrical Equipment Studies

The most important components of the electrical equipment

are the 11 kV synchronous generators each of capacity
matching with the proposed turbines output, three single
phase step-up transformers with 220 kV secondary voltages
and an outdoor 220/500 kV switchyard for connection to
incoming 220 kV transmission line from Tarkam Godubar,a
500 kV T/L from upstream projects comulated at Judi Lasht &
a 500 kV double circuit, Quard Bundle (ACSR-Drake) direct
to down stream 220/500 kV proposed Grid station at
Temergrah.
For changing the generated voltage to transmission voltage,
11/220/ 3 kV step-up power transformers of suitable capacity
will be used. For the feasibility design level, four Nos. of 3phase step up power transformers of capacity 100 MVA
each, matching with the generators output, are proposed.
The transformer voltage ratio has been chosen to match the
generator voltage finally adopted as 11kV. The generator
side of the transformers will be connected in delta formation
and HV side in star formation. The proposed transformer will
have an on-load manual tap changing capability of + 5% to 7.5% in 2.5% steps.The proposed generators are vertical-

37

shaft, hydraulic driven, alternating current, synchronous type,

and will conform to the applicable standards regarding rating,
characteristic, tests, etc. The selection of generators is in
accordance with the turbines. The rating of all four generators

CAPITAL COST OF
PROJECT
Approaches and
Methodology Update
of Project Costs

This section describes the assumptions and results relating to

the construction cost estimate of the Gahrait Swir Lasht
Hydropower project. The total project construction cost of civil
works has been estimated on the basis of rates of various
items of work as provided on the web site of Government of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for 2nd quarter of year 2012 for District
Chitral. Difficulty factor has also been included therein. In
case of cost of E&M equipment due consideration has been
given to recession in the market and low prices being quoted
by Chinese manufacturers. Equipment which can be
manufactured in Pakistan has also been taken into
consideration.
Accordingly, the cost estimates have been made at April
2014 level. Table 7.2 to 7.18 gives detail of project cost in to
local and foreign cost components.

7.2

7.2

Provision for Spare

Parts

The provision for spare parts of Electromechanical

equipments has been worked out, which comes to
Rs.1,725.00 million. This cost of spare parts is in addition to
the routine O&M cost.

Total Costs
To arrive at estimated total project cost three items; custom
duly, price escalation & interest during construction have
been worked out and included in the estimated project base
cost of Rs. 110,737.02 million. Thus, the total project cost

39

becomes Pak Rs. 181,115.83 million.

Foreign component of the cost has been converted to local
currency using exchange rate as one US$ equivalent to Rs
98.56/- as on (30th April 2014 level)
Table 7.1 gives break up of project cost in to local and foreign
cost components.

The annual operation and maintenance cost has been

estimated keeping in view the recent years expenditures and
salaries of the staff. The O&M cost @1.00% of the total cost

DEMAND AND SUPPLY

9.1

has been taken which comes to Rs 1,054.79 million which will

be met through selling of energy of power plant.
Annual Consumption

Table 9.1 gives the profile of sales, generation, peak demand

and annual load factor during the last thirteen years from
fiscal years 1999-2000 to 2011-12. Over that period, energy
sales increased by nearly 74.45%, energy generated (sentout energy) increased by 60.58% and peak demand
increased by approximately 56.74%. Due to the faster growth
of energy demand compared to peak power, the systems
load factor grew from 65.8% to 68.0%.
The difference between energy sales, (i.e. end user
consumption) and energy generation represents losses.
These losses comprise power station consumption, line
losses and theft.
The peak load in WAPDAs service area was recorded at
more than 15,000 MW in 2012. At present, nearly half of the
peak power is demanded by domestic customers, about one
quarter by industrial customers and the rest mainly by the
commercial and agriculture sector.
9.2
Future Electricity Consumption
In February 2011, WAPDA prepared its latest official
Electricity and Peak Demand forecast. The projection period
spans 25 years, beginning in 2011 and ending in 2035 (fiscal
years). This forecast takes into account the countrys latest
(mainly macro-economic) developments and is based on topdown analysis. The top-down approach assesses the future

40

demands of major customer sectors (including

the
residential, commercial and industrial sectors) to arrive at a
nation-wide forecast. The approach relies on projections of
future development of the national economy (GDP), changes
in demography (population structure) and political
preferences and objectives (e.g. electrification programs,
demand side management measures).

10.

FINANCIAL PLAN AND

MODE OF FINANCING

Table 9.2 presents the latest forecast in tabular form. The

tabular compilation includes both, peak power and annual
energy demand (at sent-out level). Electricity demand is
expected to grow by some 7.80% annually over the years
from 2011 until 2015. Beyond 2015, annual growth forecast
for next five years is increased to 8.9%, by the period
between 2020 and 2025 it will be 8.5%, between 2025 and
2030 it will be 7.10% and for next 5 years it is expected to be
6.5% . The load factor is foreseen to change only very slightly
from some 0.69 at present to 0.67 in 2035.
The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will finance the
project with following financing parameters;

Financial Benefits:
i)

The hydropower project is highly beneficial due to less

unit cost and will help in saving foreign exchange on
import of thermal fuels.

ii)

The financial benefits of the project life, over 50 years

calculated on certain assumptions depict Financial
Internal Rate of Return (FIRR) as 13.58% (on PESCO
Tariff) which make the project financially viable in all the
cases.

iii)

The generation cost worked out to be Rs. 6.32/KWh (6.41

US cents) over the useful life of the project and

iv)

Cost per MW of installed capacity being Rs. 480.41

million (4.87 million US$ without Transmission line) are
also very attractive to reflect the financial benefits of the

41

project.
v)

The revenue of Government would increase due to direct

and indirect taxation, duties, and levies on the production
of goods and services that will arise from the power
generation within the project area as well as from the
electricity duty collected by the Government of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa or any other Govt. Agency i.e. PESCO.

Economic Benefits
The economic analysis of the project has been carried out
with/ without CDM benefits to the overall economy as a
consequence of least cost optimal development of the
hydropower potential in the country. For this purpose the
benefits from the proposed thermal plants have been
evaluated in term of costs foregone for providing an
equivalent thermal generation.
The results of the analysis show that the project is technically
sound and economically viable. The EIRR calculated ranges
from 14% to 24%.
Social Benefits
The project will supply 377 MW of power and generate
1,579GWh of energy annually which will assist in meeting
power demand of the country. The project has long service
life as there is no reservoir sedimentation problem. The
project will implement several programs that are designed to
improve living standard of the area. These programs will
provide improved health, education and infrastructure
facilities while other programs will provide alternative source
of income and create employment opportunity.
The project will avoid annual gas releases of about 663,180
tones of CO2 from an equivalent combined cycle thermal plant
using gas and 757,920 CO2 from combined cycle thermal
plant using furnace oil which have a corresponding reduction
in atmospheric pollution.
The hydel project play an important role in the countrys
economy due to utilization of indigenous energy resource, in
reducing load shedding and saving of foreign exchange

42

required to import thermal fuel.

ii)

iii)

Employment
Generation (Direct &
Indirect)

The existing conditions in the project area regarding

employment are very low. Almost more than 90% population
is engaged in different economical sectors like agricultural,
fruit and vegetables production etc. Current estimates for the
number of personnel to be employed during the construction
period are about 1500persons at peak times. The majority of
employees will be in the unskilled and semi-skilled sectors
and the need for imported expatriate management staff is
relatively low. A large proportion of the workforce will be
drawn from the immediate local area, with preference given
to displaced landholders and laborers from affected
communities. Training of staff during construction will
substantially increase the expertise of the labor force within
the area.
Main
Environmental The area to be inundated by reservoir is given in the following
table, which shows that 3,098 kanal of land will be
Impacts
permanently submerged at full reservoir level (FRL) which is
1337 masl. While the land acquisition for reservoir area will be
limit to 1342 masl, which is High Flood Level (HFL) computed
on 1,000 years return period.
Construction of Gahrait Swir Lasht Hydro Power Project will
bring following impacts in the area;
Adverse Impacts:

It is estimated that the project will involve acquisition of

about 488 kanal of land which includes, 371 kanal of
cultivated land, 13 kanal of residential, 17 kanal of cultivable
waste land and 87 kanal of waste land. State land is 7,781
kanal including 801 kanal of river bed.Breakdown of land
required for the project is given in Table 11.1.

Due to impoundment of reservoir, 12 residential units will be

relocated to higher elevation.Detail about these structures is
depicted in Table 11.2.

Two community infrastructures (mosques) will be

inundated in the proposed reservoir area at HFL. Total
area is 2.25 kanal and covered area of the mosques is
2,500 ft2.

It is estimated that about 80 kanals of waste land is required

to establish borrow areas, spoil tip areas, contractors camp

43

and other facilities.

The impact on vegetation is not high. About 370 trees

(about 155 shade & 215 fruit trees) will have to be cut.
Table 11.3: describes percentage of affected trees in the
project area.

A watercourse locating in the proposed reservoir area will be

affected. Peoples from settlements of Gahrait Usst and
Gahrait Gang Qila use this watercourse for domestic as well
as irrigation purposes. Moreover that watercourse will be
tapped to meet colony and campsite (construction
requirements), thereby competing with use of water by the
local communities.

The construction activities will affect air quality and cause

noise-related hazards, which will be of concern, especially
at the powerhouse where some settlements are close by
the project area.

When the water is diverted through power tunnel,

depletion of river flows will affect population of the villages
falling in the river stretch between the dam and the
powerhouse.

Soil erosion may occur due to back water effect of reservoir

water. This will impact the agricultural terraces of local
community.

The possible contamination of soil by oils and chemicals at

campsites, workshop areas, and equipment washing-yards
may limit the future use of land.

Construction of the project may affect the groundwater

regime thus may change spring water pattern of the area.
Thus local water supplies through the springs may be
affected both in quantity and quality.

Uncontrolled blasting may harm the existing wildlife of the

project area. Food and refuse at the Contractors camps
may attract wildlife that might in turn be hunted by the
workers.

The night illumination must be directed downward to

protect the migratory birds from deception that can lose
their flight path if lights are left open to sky.

The rural women actively participate in outdoor socioeconomic activities such as livestock rearing, fetching of

44

drinking water, etc. Their privacy may suffer due to the

project activities. Moreover, it will cause hindrance to the
mobility of local women for working in the field, herding
livestock, bringing drinking water from springs, picking fuel
wood, etc.

iv)

Environmental
Mitigation

During field surveys of the project, no indigenous or

vulnerable householdgroup of people was identified. So no
impact on these people is envisaged due to
theimplementation of the project.

Contractors staff while working at steep hilly slopes may

slip and get injuries. Accidents are also expected during
tunnelling activities.

No historical or archeological site has been observed or

reported along the Project area. Anyhow, About 125
graves will be disrupted due to construction of Dam axis.

Mitigations:
For Gahrait Swir Lasht Hydro Power Project, during
stakeholder meeting with land revenue department, land
rates were discussed. Land rates as per office of the
District Officer Revenue & Estate Collector, Drosh for year
2012 13 and projected to 2013 14 with 25% annual
increment.
Value of affected shade tree in the project area is
determined after consultation with the forest representative
as Rs.1,000 and for fruit tree as Rs.1,500.
It is estimated that against cutting of about 370 trees PEDO
will make a provision of compensatory plantation at the
ratio of 1:5. As such, the total compensatory plantation
comes to about 1,850 trees or more to minimize the
impacts on flora. The planted trees will be looked after for
two years and protected from munching by goats.
The built-up property will be compensated on replacement
cost basis in consideration of the current construction cost
of the facilities, if not better, at least of level similar to the
one disrupted.
Gahrait Usst watercourse exists
while High Flood Level (HFL)
course will have to be relocated
cumec discharge with perennial

at elevation of 1340 masl

is 1342 m.asl, so water
at 1350 m.asl. It has 0.07
nature. Most of the water

45

overspills which indicates that it has enough water for the

community requirements. Moreover a collection tank and
washing points plus allied structures will be constructed for
proper water management. A small filtration plant will also
be proposed for the drinking water requirements of the
nearby communities.
According to Himachal Pradesh State Environment
Protection and Pollution Control Board (HPSEP&PCB)
guidelines environmental flow for Gahrait Swir Lasht Hydro
Power Project is 12.1m3/sec. The designers have reported
that 15 m3/s flows will result in 1m depth of flow
downstream of the dam with width of 15 Km (between Dam
to Powerhouse site). Therefore, 15m3/sec is recommended
environmental flow. Numerous natural springs and nullahas
(Gols) along the 15 km length will enhance this flow. Flow
data of springs is not available.
In the light of discussion and data given by fisheries
department, fish ladder being proposed for the conservation
of aquatic fauna. Fish ladder layout has been proposed
through the left bank. Inlets at inverts varying from El. 1331
to 1337 have been provided to make fish ladder functional
during variation of reservoir levels.
Air quality should be monitored on regular basis near the
plant by the contractor. The plant should be located at least
500m away from any living area. Regular spraying of water
should be undertaken to minimize dust pollution. All
vehicles, machinery, equipment and generators used
during construction activities will be kept in good working
condition to minimize exhaust emissions.
For higher slopes, protection against erosion and landslides
will be carried out by providing benches and, if needed,
furnishing with protective measures depending upon the
nature of the constituent material of the hills.
Soil contamination by asphalt and other obnoxious material
will be minimized by placing all containers in caissons or
dumped into pits lined with impervious liners to avoid
contamination of soils/groundwater from leachate.
The contractor will explore the alternative water resource so
that the existing community water resources are not
impacted. No existing spring water under the use of
community will be exploited by the Contractor for campsite

46

as well as construction purposes.

Camps will be located at least 500 m away from the nearest
local settlement to prevent the contamination of communityowned water resources like springs, hill torrents, etc.
Blasting and other noise generating activities will not be
carried out during the night.
Special measures will be adopted to minimize impacts on
the wild birds, such as avoiding noise generating activities
during the critical periods of breeding and migration.
The Contractor will have to select the specific timings for
the construction activities particularly near the settlements,
so as to cause least disturbance to the local population
particularly women considering their peak movement hours.
Contractor will warn the staff strictly not to involve in any
un-ethical activities and to obey the local norms and cultural
restrictions particularly with reference to women.
As referred earlier, no indigenous or vulnerable household
group of people was identified in or along the project area,
so the WB/ADB Policy will not be triggered.
Complying with the safety precautions for construction
workers as per International Labour Organization (ILO)
Convention No. 62, as far as applicable to the project
contract.
Graves affected by the project will have to be shifted. The
proponent will obtain Fatwa from local Mufti before shifting
the graves. During such operation the proponent will inform
local administration and seek their assistance for security.
The request will also be extended to Health Department for
deputation of medical and paramedical staff during the
operation. As referred earlier, no relocation of historical or
archeological site is involved, so no mitigation is required.

Economic Analysis

The economic analysis of the project has been carried out on

the basis of benefits to the overall economy as a
consequence of the least cost optimal development of the
hydropower potential in the country. For this purpose the
benefits from the proposed combined cycle gas combustion
and furnace oil turbine plant have been evaluated in terms of
costs foregone for providing an equivalent generation. Other
alternatives i.e. Simple Open Cycle Gas Turbine and slow /
medium speed diesel plant have been omitted in PC-I.
Economic Analysis is based on shadow prices and transfer
payments such as custom duties, price contingency and
interest during construction have been excluded in economic
analysis. Other assumptions for undertaking the economic
analysis have been described in Table 11.6.
Results of economic analysis i.e. EIRR calculated as 23.71%
and benefit cost ratio (BCR) as 2.05:1 prove the viability of
the project. The summary of the results of economic analysis

Quantifiable output of the project

The project will supply 377 MW of power and generate
1,579GWh of energy annually which will assist in meeting
power demand of the country and will help in reduction of
load-shedding. The project will generate revenue of Rs.
27,148.91 million annually at full operation. The Financial
Internal Rate of Return (FIRR) works out to be 13.58% as
shown in Table 11.10.
x)

Unit Cost

The cost per kWh of energy generated has been estimated

by dividing average annual recurring cost with annual
generation over the economic life of the project. The unit cost
is calculated with Transmission line and without Transmission
line.
The average annual recurring cost is arrived at by amortizing
the total financial cost of Rs. 181,115.83 million (Local Rs.
145,015.09 million and FEC Rs. 36,100.74) including Custom
Duties @5% of foreign cost of E&M equipments, Price
Escalation @ of 6.5% and 1.3% for local and foreign cost
components respectively and Interest during construction at
the interest rate of 10.65% for both local and foreign cost
respectively for 20 years and levelized over the useful life of
the project. To this has also been added annual O&M cost of
Rs. 1,093.49 million (1.00% of the total cost of project) which
gives annual recurring cost of Rs. 9,984.90 million. The
project generation cost per kWh and cost per MW of installed
capacity are shown in Table 11.11. As can be seen, the
project shows generation cost of Rs.6.32/kWh (6.42 US
Cents) over the useful life of the project whereas installed
capacity per MW comes to Rs. 480.41 million (4.87 M US$).

Profit/ Loss Account

and Cash flow
Statement

Expected income, profit & loss shown in Table 11.13, have

been worked out on the following assumptions;
i)

The income/ revenue of the project are based on the sale

of energy. The average sale price of Rs. 10.26 / kWh of
2012-13Considering Power Purchase Price for PESCO,
being an agency at KP, determined by NEPRA which
has been projected.

ii) The revenue attributable to the project is calculated at

100% of the sale proceeds.

Break Even Point (BEP)

xiii)

Payback Period

Breakeven point is a volume of production which determines

the number of units of energy required to recover the
recurring expenditures (Operating costs + Debt + Interest
Obligation). The break even production volume of the project
is 549.07GWh of energy which is considerably less than the
annual production of 1,579 GWh.
The payback period of the project is 6.67 years.

Effective construction
controls by the Contractor to
avoid inconvenience to the
locals due to noise, smoke
and fugitive dust. The
contractor will frequently
sprinkle water at the work
areas and haul tracks to
avoid generation of fugitive
dust. The frequency of
sprinkling will be determined
by the weather condition.
During long spell of hot and
dry weather the sprinkling
will be done at 2 to 3 hours
interval.

Gender Issues

The rural women actively

participate in outdoor
socio-economic activities
such as livestock rearing,
bringing of potable water,
etc which may also be
affected by the project
activities.

The Contractor will have to

select specific timings for the
construction activities
particularly near the
settlements, so as to cause
least disturbance to the local
population particularly
women.

The induction of outside

labor may create social
and gender issues due to
the unawareness of local
customs and norms.

Contractor will warn the

staff strictly not to involve in
any un-ethical activities and
to obey the local norms and
cultural restrictions
