Black Garden Dam on Channab River Pakistan

Scope of Dam
Channab River periodically flood vast areas of Punjab which destroys villages and
corps and cause great loss. Every time flood came it destroys the canals built for
irrigation and drinkable water. We are also getting low on energy resources and
right now dams and hydroelectric power plants are the best source of meeting
energy crises. We proposed construction of the high dam to solve these problems.
We will made a colony for the employees of dam spillway and power plant.
Construction of the high dam would control the periodic floods, store water for
irrigation, municipal and industrial use. And we will also generate energy through
hydropower plant to meet the energy crises of Pakistan. The customers would be
the people getting water for irrigation purpose and from the electricity bills.

Procurement Management
5200 workers will require there for construction with 3 shifts per day. 5 million barrel
of cement will used in the concrete of dam and making of colony. 9,000 tons of
structured steel components will be used for power plant and dam. 44,000 tons of
large steel pipe and fittings will be required for this project. Giant cooling towers will
also be required for power plant.

Time Management
In 2015, the government will pass the bill for damn and hydro power plant
construction, allocating 300 million dollars for the dam construction. Construction
will begin in april 2015 by september 2015, sufficient housing facilities will be in
place. Construction will be completed in March 2021, if everything goes on time and
schedule.

Cost Management
It cost a total of 300$ million. It will cost $150 million to build the black garden dam
100$ for power plant construction and $50 million to build a colony.
Unskilled labor paid will get paid $4 per day and minimum wage cost will be $6 per
hour. Paid back will be over a period of 50 years to Federal Treasury by selling
electricity.

Risk Management
Black Garden Dam Project is a huge project which will cost estimated 300 billion
U.S. dollars. Therefore there are lots of risks about it ranging over a variety of
aspects, including physical risks, financial risks and society risks etc.
Physical risks: the earthquake and geology experts have identified that the dam is
located in the influenced area where might occur earthquake at 6 magnitude at
highest level. Once the earthquake take place and the dam may collapse the
consequences would be even worse than if the dam had not been there.
Inputs risks: The dam wall is made of concrete and is about 2,309 meters long and
185 meters high. The wall is 115 meters wide on the bottom and 40 meters wide on
top. The project used 27,200,000 cubic meters of concrete, 463,000 metric tons of
steel and numerous workforces. If these necessary inputs cannot be in place, the
time limit for the whole project would be badly affected
Society risks: the relocation of local residents is the central part of the Black
Garden dam Project. It is considered as important as the construction of the dam.
1,400,000 citizens have been displaced, About 140,000 residents will be relocated
somewhere else, and the majority of the remaining people will be relocated within
Punjab Province.
The government needs to consider two serious problems that moving out the
inhabitants and their economic reconstruction simultaneously. It will result in some
very bad society effects if the two problems cannot be solved well and smoothly
Financial risks: the government has to consider carefully for any influencing factor
on the final budget, such as inflation, changes of inputs price and some
contingency. There are a lot of examples of projects were abandoned for lack of
enough funds.

Risk Control and Arrangement.

Physical risks control and arrangement: because the earthquake and geology
experts have identified that the dam is located in the influenced area where may
occur earthquake at 6 magnitude at highest level. The whole construction of dam is
built at the defensive lever of magnitude of 7 . Even if the dam will collapse for
earthquake or other reasons, it has the ability to discharge all the water in three
days, impossibly makes any grave consequence. Society risks control and
arrangement: the project adopts the mode of Developmental Immigration which is
moving out the inhabitant, in the meantime taking the infrastructure construction
and industry construction. Black Garden Project Corporation allocates the funds to

local government for the inhabitant arrangement annually and all the other
provinces have been called on to support every district of three gorges
