In Uzbekistan, 4.3 million ha of irrigated area includes 2.5 million ha of land which is irrigated through pumping stations. Karshi Irrigation Scheme, which is one of the largest pumped irrigations (402 000 ha) in Uzbekistan, is served by the Karshi Main Canal with a pumping cascade of 6 pumping stations, each with a capacity of 240 m3/sec. The pumping cascade is 78.4 km long and lifts the water by 132.2 m. Since the pumping stations have been serving for nearly 30 years, they are in urgent need of repair, from the point of view of electromechanical items as well as process automation, system of control communications, operation and maintenance. The inner surface of steel pressure pipelines requires effective corrosion and abrasive protection.
These problems will be dealt with in several phases of this project which is financed by the World Bank. The main components for Phase I will be:
– Sediment control measures including provision of dredges, bulldozers, etc.
– Refurbishment of pumps and motors and electrical equipment
– Strengthening discharge pipes
– Provision of computerized flow monitoring system for Karshi Main Canal
The consulting services required for these services are to be provided in two phases:
– Assignment A
comprising a feasibility study and preparation of final design and tender documents for the rehabilitation works to be proposed.
– Assignment B
which mainly consists of assisting the Client with overall project planning and management, contract administration and construction supervision.
