Sanima Hydro and Engineering Pvt. Ltd., in partnership with TAC Hydro Consultancy Pvt. Ltd., has signed a contract with Spark Hydroelectric Company Limited to provide consulting services for an updated detailed feasibility study, Detailed Engineering Design and Tender Document Preparation for the Tamor Mewa Hydropower Project. This collaborative effort aims to refine the project’s design and optimize its capacity ahead of construction.
The Tamor Mewa Hydropower Project, a 128 MW Run-of-River (RoR) scheme, is being developed by Spark Hydroelectric Company and is located in the Phungling area of Taplejung District, Province No. 1, Nepal. The project’s geographical coordinates span latitudes 27° 20′ 00″ N to 27° 24′ 08″ N and longitudes 87° 37′ 15″ E to 87° 40′ 00″ E.
Key components of the project include a diversion structure for construction, an intake structure with undersluice, a gravel trap, desander, water conveyance system, surge shaft, penstock/pressure shaft, powerhouse, and tailrace. The project is designed to utilize a gross head of 124.50 meters, a net head of 116.3 meters, with a design discharge at Q40% of 95.38 m³/s from the Tamor River and 34.18 m³/s from the Mewa River.
The main scope of the work is conducting Updated Feasibility Study, Capacity Optimization, Detailed Engineering Design, and Tender Documents Preparation of Tamor Mewa Hydroelectric Project (128 MW) and technical support for design modification during construction.
