Armenia (MCA-Armenia) SNCO signed a contract with a consortium
consisting of Arpa- Sevan OJSC (Armenia) and Sade (France) to
rehabilitate/repair 35,4 kilometers of sections on the Arzni-Shamiram,
Lower Hrazdan, Artashat and Shirak main canals and about 70
hydro-technical structures in Arzni-Shamiram and Shirak main canals.
Millennium Challenge Account-Armenia told ArmInfo that together with
the work under the first package of main canals, a total of 39.6
kilometers of canals will be rehabilitated and more than 20 million
dollars invested in the improvement of the canal infrastructure in
Armenia. More than 110, 000 beneficiaries in around 200 communities
will be able to have access to more reliable water in Ararat,
Aragatsotn, Armavir, Kotayk, and Shirak marzes.
The value of the contract is 14,618,601 dollars and the term of the
contract 18 months. The scope of the rehabilitation works includes
cleaning of the canals, rehabilitation of outlets and gates, and
utilization of monolith concrete, reinforced concrete and such advanced
technologies as shotcrete.
Additional works under MCA-Armenia's Irrigation Infrastructure will
involve the rehabilitation of 17 pumping stations, construction of up
to six gravity schemes, upgrading of tertiary irrigation systems in
over 70 communities and improvements to the Ararat valley drainage
system. Total investment into the MCA-Armenia Program should amount
to about 180,000, 000 dollars by the time the program ends in 2011.
