BEIJING, Aug. 15 (Xinhua)-- Sinohydro Corporation Limited (Sinohydro) has recently won the bid for raising La Gogue dam project, so as to boost water supply on Mahé, Seychelles.
The project was invested by African Development Bank, and valued at 13.3720 million U.S. dollars, which was scheduled to be completed in 730 days.
Located in northern Seychelles, the project covered civil works for raising the current dam, seepage control of northern and southern saddles, construction of new spillway on the right bank, upgrading of the existing intake tower, replacement of pipelines and pipe fittings in the intake tower and tunnel.
