2008-07-17 08:50:00
HANOI, Vietnam–(EMWNews)–Cavico Corporation (OTC BB: CVIC) (“Cavico”
or “the Company”), a
leading infrastructure development company in Vietnam, today announced
that the Company has entered into an agreement to construct dams on the
Huong (Perfume) River and create Ta Trach water reservoir for $3.4
million. The reservoir will be located in Duong Hoa village, Huong Thuy
district, Thua Thien Hue province.
Cavico will begin construction of the 717-square kilometer reservoir in
August 2008 and it is expected to be completed by December 2011. The
Company will construct the main dam which will be 1,112 meters in
length, 56 meters high and 8 meters wide. In addition to the main dam,
four sub dams of total 660 meters in length and an overflow dam with six
releasing gates will also be constructed.
This is a part of Package #20 of Ta Trach reservoir which is the second
largest project in the central region of Vietnam. The project belongs to
Hydropower Management No. 5, a part of Ministry of Agriculture and
Farming.
The dam will limit damages caused by floods in the Hue city, a site of
previously devastating floods. In addition, Ta Trach reservoir will also
supply water to 35 hectares of farming land in the Huong (Perfume) river
region, help control the water flow, and limit the salt level in the
river. The reservoir may become a hydropower plant with a capacity of
18,000 KW that would generate an average of 60 million kwh per year.
“The Vietnamese government continues to invest
into important flood control and hydropower dam projects throughout the
country, demonstrating a commitment to infrastructure development,”
commented Mr. Hieu Van Phan, Vice President of Cavico Corp.
