On February 18, 2023, the Dasu Hydropower Station in Pakistan successfully closed the flow, officially entering a new stage of dam foundation pit excavation and dam body filling construction. As one of the projects with the largest technical difficulty, total installed capacity and total investment in Pakistan undertaken by China Gezhouba Group, the smooth implementation of the project will effectively alleviate the problem of energy shortage in Pakistan and accumulate new momentum for the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative between China and Pakistan. .

In the past year, Gezhouba builders have focused on the dam closure schedule, increased resource input, improved dynamic correction measures, continuously improved construction efficiency, and focused on strengthening technology, quality, safety, business and other management and control assessments, and the project construction has progressed steadily.

In the next step, the project department will continue to integrate resources, coordinate and do a good job in project construction, project operation and safety production, to ensure that all goals are realized on schedule, and strive to make the Dasu project an overseas benchmark project of China Gezhouba Group and monumental projects.

Dasu Hydropower Station in Pakistan

The Dasu Hydropower Station in Pakistan is located in the Indus River Basin in Pakistan. The total installed capacity of the power station is 5,400 MW. It will be implemented in two phases. The first phase will have 6 installed capacity, totaling 2,160 MW. The dam is 242 meters high, 570 meters long, and the designed RCC engineering volume is 4.7 million cubic meters. It is the highest RCC dam under construction in the world, and it is also the project with the most technical difficulty, the largest total installed capacity, and the largest total investment in Pakistan so far. one. The construction peak of the project will create 8,000 local jobs and 25,000 indirect jobs, improve local infrastructure construction, and promote local economic development.
