The EM contractor has already completed almost 90% fabrication works at various factories in China, which includes the design, fabrication and testing of generator sets, runner, shaft, etc. Till date, the EM contractor has delivered almost 55% of the equipment which includes most of the turbine parts, generator parts, EOT crane accessories, etc.

The EM Contractor officially mobilized its manpower and resources to the site for installation works on February 09, 2021.  The camp and warehouse setup work has been completed. The installation of draft tube elbow in all 4 units has been completed along with the first stage embedded parts and pipes. Due to the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, the EM Contractor, also a Chinese company, could not mobilize its national workers at site and thus has been working also with a Nepali subcontractor with minimum impact on the instalaltion works. The Nepalese sub-contractor,JADE, swiftly mobilized its manpower and carried out spiral case instalaltion works of all the units along with other imbedded parts and pipes. As of this date, the installation works is smoothly being carried out, where almost 30% erection and installation works have already been completed at the site.
