Ialy Hydropower Plant Extension Project: The water tunnel opened

The implementation of the Ialy Hydropower Plant Expansion Project (IHPEP) has just achieved another important result with the opening of the water tunnel on the morning of February 14, 2023. This is one of the most difficult items of the project.

The water tunnel is 830m long, with a diameter of more than 8m, passing through the low-lying area of Iatran stream with bad geology and potential risks. Previously, the construction of this item mainly relied on experts from the Russian Federation, but for this project, it is entirely performed by Vietnamese engineers and workers.

Construction of water tunnel for IHPEP, November 2022

The completion of the water tunnel is an important prerequisite for IHPEP to accelerate to the finish line.

IHPEP is invested by Vietnam Electricity, is managed by Power Project Management Board No. 2, and is implemented by the consortium of Lung Lo Construction Corporation - Truong Son Construction Corporation - Song Da Corporation - Vietnam Construction and Import-Export Joint Stock Corporation - Lilama 10 Company.

The project is built in Ya Tang commune, Sa Thay district, Kon Tum province and Ia Mo Nong, Ia Kreng communes, Ialy town, Chu Pah district, Gia Lai province. The objective of the project: Generating unit 1 in the second quarter of 2024; Generating unit 2 in the third quarter of 2024, completing the entire work in December 2024.
