The Suki Kinari Hydropower Project in the north-western part of Pakistan achieved dam capping this week, marking its entry into a new construction stage.
The successful capping of the concrete dam on Kunhar River will help advance the construction of power station, located in Mansehra district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, under CPEC.
Calling the capping a key milestone of the 884-megawatt hydropower project, Chen Jiangbo, Deputy Manager of Suki Kinari Hydropower Project of China Gezhouba Group Company Ltd, which invests in and implements the project, attributed the achievement to the joint efforts made by the Chinese and Pakistani constructors despite multiple challenges.
