China’s experience and wisdom on engineering operation management, water conservancy technology application and innovative practices were shared with Pakistan for application to the Kurram Tangi Dam during the 28-day training.
Aligned with the actual needs of Pakistan’s hydropower development, the training covered five core modules: mechanical and electrical equipment, electrical and automation systems, hydraulic structures and design, dam operation safety management and on-site practice at hydropower stations. Additionally, the trainees visited seven hydropower project sites including the Changgou Pumping Station on the Shandong Main Line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project as well as three hydropower enterprises.
“Kurram Tangi Dam is a key energy project in Pakistan. We hope that through this training, effective and sustainable operation and maintenance technologies from China can be brought to our country. This training served as a starting point to open a new chapter for China and Pakistan to deepen friendship and pursue common development in the hydropower sector,” Pakistani expert Muhammad Naeem Chaudhry said.
