Delvelopement
One of the highest concrete dams in the series of cascade
dams on Karun River, Karun 3 has been constructed with the
intention of utilizing the hydroelectric potential of the melting
snows of the Zagros Mountain Range in Western Iran. Besides
the 2280 MW power generation capacity, the large dam reservoir
provides the means for storage of large seasonal floods
in order to supply the regular water flow necessary for the
power generation of downstream dams.
The reservoir and
the spectacular arch bridge crossing have also turned into a
beautiful tourist attraction area in the region.
Tablieh was responsible for the construction of the tail pond
dam, plunge pool, slope protection and stabilization, thrust
blocks, as well as concreting of the tailrace tunnels.
