The scope of work of Powerchina Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited includes design, supply and renovation and installation of five sets of turbines, speed governors, oil pressure installation of inlet valves, auxiliary systems and partial control equipment. Due to local war, the project was suspended from 2013 to 2015, and it was restarted until April 2016. The site project department overcame a number of difficulties such as local deficient materials, hard site construction and living conditions, great difficulty of the rehabilitation project as well as extremely instable power grid during testing.

The Project Owner highly affirmed Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited for its working attitude and achievements.
