Origin of funding: Compact program, Project: Transition to High Value Agriculture

Type of services provided: topographic survey, geotechnical and hydrologic investigation, drawings and technical specifications for construction works, bill of quantities and cost estimates, author supervision of the construction works.

Detailed description of project :

1. Field investigation and verification of all pipe routes in all modules based on the Conceptual Design developed by Keller-Bliesner Engineering (USA).
2. Topographical survey (Cross sections for each PS, detailed survey at scale 1:500 for each planned location for PS, detailed survey at scale 1:500 for DD of power line and service road on the eastern part of the service canal).
3. Perform two drillings of 10m each to complete the geotechnical investigations.
4. Hydrologic investigation.
5. Detailed Design of River Inlet and Service Canal for CZ North and CZ South (river intake channel, intake pipes, intake head sluice gate and respective concrete structures, level control gate structure etc).
6. Detailed Design for modules N3-N7, S1-S4 and related structures (Fish Protection screen, Concrete box and deck, Vertical Turbine Pumps with VFD, Control system (open and above ground): air / vacuum relief valves, pressure gauges, filtration system, hydraulic valve with combination pressure reducing \ check valve (to be confirmed); butterfly valve, Z leg to the main line, Security Fence and gate, with 45° angle at top, facing outside). Main Lines, Delivery off-takes, Tertiary lines.
7. Detailed Design for SPD-4 and SPD5 drainage pumping plants, main and secondary canals.
8. Detailed Design for the electrical power supply for CIS CZ for all 17 irrigation modules, initially for 9 irrigation modules and 2 drainage pumping stations, and eventually for 8 additional irrigation modules pumping stations.

Status of the project: The project was successfully implemented in 2015.
