Investor Persian Gulf Water Supply and Transfer Company

(WASCO)

Main Employer Water Transmission Line Construction Company for

Industries (Shakhes Consortium)

Employer Fakoor Sanat Tehran Engineering Company

Execution Period 1397-99

WASCO was established with investment and shareholding by Gol Gohar Mining and Industrial Company,

National Iranian Copper Industries Company and Chadormalu Mining and Industrial Company. In this plan,

Persian Gulf seawater is desalinated at Bandar Abbas and then transferred through a 950 km water

transmission line to central regions of Iran. The first 300 km section was put into operation in 1399,

transferring desalinated water from Bandar Abbas to Gol Gohar industries in Sirjan, Kerman, through seven

pumping stations.

After ABB Switzerland, which was responsible for overall engineering, equipment supply, installation and

commissioning of electrical, control and instrumentation systems, withdrew due to international sanctions,

Fakoor Sanat assigned continuation of the work to Farzan Fan Andish and Rastak Pouya. The line was

successfully commissioned in 1399.

Work scope: completion of engineering activities previously underway by ABB Switzerland; installation and

commissioning of all electrical panels in pumping stations; installation and commissioning of ABB ACS1000

VSD panels; installation and commissioning of transformers and diesel generators; installation,

commissioning and operation of control-system panels and accessories; approximately 350 km of cabling;

installation and commissioning of monitoring and telecommunication systems; installation, commissioning

and operation of instrumentation equipment; execution of cable routes and other project requirements; and

lighting and other electrical systems within the work scope.
