(1 & 2 ) Sungun copper factory`s water supply, pumping installations and tailings disposal and transfer

Project Description:

Services: Design & construction supervision
Objectives: Development & Rehabilitation of Raw water supply and tailings disposal of Sungun copper mine
Upgrading Tailing Dam & Waste Disposal System:
                1. Actual height of tailing dam at the end of mine’s operation
                    period (30 years) 178 m
                2. Two Tailings pump stations for waste transmission with 50%
                                tail density and 1375 m3/hr discharge and pumping head of
                   5985 kpa
                3. Two Tailings pipe lines; each of them has 10 km length with
                   450 mm & 500mm diameters
Return water transfer system
                1. Two pontoon pump stations, one station with 2600 m3/hr
                  discharge capacity and pumping head of 160 m and the other
   one with  2000 m3/hr discharge capacity and pumping head
                                 of 50 m 
                2. Steel return water pipelines, total 11km length, with 900 and
                    400 mm diameters 
Raw water supply system from Ahar Dam
                1.Two pump stations with discharge capacity of 320 m3/hr and
                   420 m3/hr and pumping head of 1260 m at the Ahar Dam
                2. Two steel pipelines with length of 36 Km and 300 mm &
                   400mm diameters from Ahar Dam to Sungun mine
Raw water supply system from Hajlarchai Dam
                1. Two pump stations with discharge capacity of 1266m3/hr and
                   total pumping head of 811 m at
                2. Steel pipeline with length of 47 Km and 65mm diameter from
                   Hajilarchai Dam to Sungun mine
