1. SCOPE OF WORK AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CONSULTANT Introduction
17 | P a g e
The Mohra HEP is a heritage run-of the river scheme on River Jhelum and was the second
Hydel scheme constructed in South Asia way back in 1905 with an installed capacity of 4.00
MW. The project is located at a distance of 90 km from Srinagar on Srinagar-Uri national high
way and about 35 km ahead of Baramulla town. The intake works of the project are located
immediately just on the downstream of the Barrage of newly constructed Uri HEP. The project
was a multipurpose one catering to the needs of the villagers for irrigation purposes as well. The
project is located all along the National Highway leading to Pakistan. The 10 Km long water
conductor of the scheme is mostly made of Deodar wood having T & G joints. By the year 1950
the power house had out lived more than its useful life &, therefore, proposals for replacement
of the old electro-mechanical and Hydro- mechanical equipment by new sets of higher capacity
was felt imperative. This necessitated the redesigning/augmentation of the initial wooden flume
(water conductor) & its other connected civil structures. The capacity of the power house was
proposed to be raised from 4.0 Mw’s to 9.0 MW’s. However, when the argumentation proposals
were still at the implementation stage, the old power house got washed away due to
unprecedented floods of 1959. The site for the new power house building was decided to be
shifted to a safer place which resulted in head loss of 31 mtrs. from existing 128.00 mtr. to
97.00 mtr.
The new power house with an installed capacity of 9.00 MW having two units of 4.5 MW
each was commissioned in 1962 & it generated electricity till year 1992. In 1992, severe floods
again damaged the project seriously. The project came to complete grinding halt /stand still
after commissioning, of the Uri-Ist HEP, in year 1997 by the NHPC, due to diversion of water
from River Jhelum near intake works of Mohra HEP towards the HRT of Uri HEP Due to heavy
leakages in the ages old wooden water conductor, the generation dwindled with the passage of
time and damages to the wooden water conductor increased due to regular slides and
depositions of heavy debris inside and above the water conductor.. The problem would get
aggravated during wet weather due to heavy slides.The project is under outage since
commissioning of the Uri-Ist HEP in year 1997 as the requisite discharges were not made
available by the NHPC for this downstream project.
The JKSPDC intends to rehabilitate this prestigious project, mostly in view of its heritage value,
by utilizing the existing Infrastructure especially its wooden water conductor after
conducting requisite restoration/ repairs/ retrofication/ replacement & refurbishment works
for the project under RMU in order to make it operational once again.
18 | P a g e
a) Under the modernization & rehabilitation proposal of the Mohra HEP, it is envisaged to
utilize the available fall of 114 mt for the 9.00 MW installed capacity. Besides the surplus flows
from the River Jehlum available during summer months, additional water shall be drawn from
the adjacent Boniyar Nallah, located near the existing intake of Mohra HEP.
Proposed RMU works.
The proposed RMU works are aimed to rehabilitate and restore the existing power project to
generate 9 MW or more power, by utilizing the existing infrastructure to their maximum utility
and maintaining the heritage value of this project by restoring/ utilizing most of the existing
wooden water conductor, which is located and visible all along its alignment parallel to National
Highway connecting Pakistan which has gained International importance due to restoration of
Muzafarabad- Kashmir ages old trade route. The proposed RMU works may include but not
limited to the following:
Modifications to existing intake works and intake channel of Mohra HEP on River
Jhelum.
Restoration /repairs to existing masonry/ concrete walls and floors of conductor including removal of debris etc.
Rehabilitation / renovation/ restoration/ strengthening of damaged portion of wooden flume with latest techniques and replacement of severely damaged wooden water conductor by RCC/ steel conduits.
Construction of Diversion structure on the Boniyar Nallah.
Construction of Boniyar link channel catering to the designed discharge from Boniyar Nallah.
Restoration, renovation/ reconstruction of damaged wooden chutes and other cross drainage works.
