Team to assess Dagachhu’s ruptured tunnel in the country

DagachhuChannellCrack. (Update): The Hindustan Construction Company, which had hired the designers, had called them, after the gravel trap channel failed the test.

About 10 metres of the tunnel had developed cracks while the authorities were testing the generating units, at the site.


The 126 Megawatt Dagachhu Hydropower Project was supposed to be commissioned, on Sunday. But the incident will delay it by two months more.

The Project’s CEO, Thinley Dorji, said Hindustan Construction Company will be responsible for the reconstruction. He said the other testing works, which are not related with the head-race tunnel, will continue.
