Project Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past decade, our country has made substantial investments in the development of water infrastructure and the optimal utilization of limited water resources. This has consequently generated extensive and growing opportunities for companies possessing the necessary capabilities to deliver high-quality services in this sector. Aligned with its strategic decision to diversify its activities and engage more actively in crucial projects, Kayson is endeavoring to play a more significant role in the development of the country\u2019s water infrastructure. This is achieved by leveraging its technical-engineering, managerial, human, and other resources.<\/p>\n

Sattarkhan Earthen Dam, constructed by Kayson Company on the Ahar River in East Azerbaijan Province, aims to achieve three primary objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Controlling the river\u2019s frequent flooding<\/li>\n
  2. Supplying drinking water to the region\u2019s residents<\/li>\n
  3. Providing agricultural water for 12,000 hectares of farmland land<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sattarkhan Reservoir Dam, boasting a volume of 131 million cubic meters, is an earthen dam featuring an impermeable clay core. It stands 75 meters above the bedrock and has a crest 350 meters long. The dam\u2019s catchment area spans approximately 950 square kilometers. To facilitate river diversion during its construction, a tunnel with a diameter of 5.5 meters, a length of 438 meters, and a longitudinal slope of 0.8 to 1 percent was built on the dam\u2019s right side. Upon the dam\u2019s completion, this diversion tunnel will be repurposed as a water intake and for lower discharge. The capacity of the lower discharge tunnel is impressive, capable of emptying the reservoir in just 24 days with the aid of the water intake. Furthermore, the dam\u2019s water intake system is designed to supply 7.8 cubic meters per second of water for agricultural use and one cubic meter per second for urban consumption.<\/p>\n
