1- Introduction:

Iran as one of the biggest country in Middle East Region and Persian Gulf experience water

shortage, particularly in areas adjacent to South and East of the country.

In other hand possessing about 68 different type of Non-petroleum mineral and about 37 billion

tons of discovered deposits and about 58 billion tons of potentially reserves is counted as one

the 15-strong and mineral –rich countries in the world.

Major parts of Iran’s mines, such as Iron Ore and Copper Mines, are located in south east of

country, especially in Hormozgan, Kerman and Yazd Provinces. For example Golgohar iron ore

mines in Sirjan city with about 1020 million tons of potentially deposits, is considered to be the

biggest iron ore deposits in Middle East or Sarchechmeh Copper Mine is considered as one of

the largest copper mines in the region .

Due to the high potential of the Region, large development projects in mineral industries such

as manufacturing and processing mineral ore, concentrate, pellets, proceeding steel industry,

copper extraction and copper processing is under proceeding.

Development and utilization of above mentioned project require large amount of water

resources. Providing this amount of water is out of local resource potential. Therefore, the use

of sea water is as a serious source of supplying of potable and industry water.

According to this approach, Golgohar Mineral Industrial Complex, National Iranian Copper

Industries Company and Chadormalu Mining and Industrial Complex for water supply to

existing facilities and the developing projects have placed on the agenda the desalinating and

transmitting of about 110 million cubic meters per year.

Required water will be transmitted to the place of consumption at the path length of about 760

km, from desalination plant in the West Zone of Bandar Abbas.

2-Location and Scope of project:

The project is located in Hormozgan, Kerman and Yazd provinces. Project starts from the West

of Bandar Abbas , the location of the under construction plant (near the shipbuilding factory) and

continues northward through the mountains of Finn and Haji Abad cities and then via the plain

goes to Golgohar Mineral Complex located in southwest of Sirjan and since leeds to

Sarcheshmah Copper Complex located in Southwest of Rafsanjan in Kerman Province.

afterwards the pipeline originates from sarcheshmah to the the North West of Yazd province

where steel industries lacated. A branch of the transmission line is divided into Chadormalu

mines. Figure (2-1) present position of the transmission pipe line.

4 - Project Components:

As shown in Figure (2-1) the present project includes three main parts. The first part from

Bandar Abbas Desalination Plant to Gol Gohar Mineral Complex in Sirjan . The second part

from Golgohar Complex to Sarcheshmah Copper Complex and third part from Sarcheshmah

Copper Complex to steel industrial zone in Ardakan and then to Chadormalu Mineral Industry

in Yazd Province.

4-1- The Specification of Transmission Pipe Line (Part-1)

Desalinated water will be transmitted from Bandar Abbas Pesalination Plant and via pumps by

1600 mm nominal diameter steel pipeline with nominal pressure from 16 to 40 bars to the Gol

Gohar Mine in Sirjan. This pipe line includes seven pump stations with a total power of 125 MW

and a total height of approximately 2400 m of the water column.

7

First part of transmission pipe line with approximate length of 285 km will transmit the water

with the rate of rate 110 MCM per year (4 CMS) from zero elevation from sea level (Bandar

Abbas Desalination Plant) to elevation of 1,800 meters above sea level in the Golgohar region.

For the crossing through the mountains, construction of a tunnel to approximate lengh of 3,000

meters is expected.

The total estimated investment cost of the first part of transmitting pipe line including the cost of

providing pipes, equipment and enforcement costs are about 14000 billion Iranian Rails.

The route of first part of the water transmission pipe line is illustrated in Figure (4-1)

Fig (4-1) –Plan layout of transmission route (Part -1)

4-2- The Specification of Transmission Pipe Line (Part-2)

The water in the second part is pumped by 1300 mm nominal diameter steel pipeline from

reservoir that will be constructed within Golgohar to Sarcheshmah copper complex. This pipe line

consists of four pump stations with a total power of 50 MW and a total height of 1,400 meters.

The nominal pipe pressure varies from 16 to 40 bars, depending on the topography and location

of pumping stations.

Second part of transmission pipe line with approximate length of 135 km will transmit the water

with the rate of rate 75 MCM per year (2.7 CMS) from elevation of 1800 meter to elevation of

2750 meters above sea level in the Sarcheshmah copper complex.

The total estimated investment cost of the second part of transmitting pipe line including the cost

of providing pipes, equipment and Executive costs are about 4,500 billion Iranian Rials.

The route of second part of the water transmission pipe line is illustrated in Figure (4-2)

4-3- The Specification of Transmission Pipe Line (Part-3)

The water in the third part is transmitted by 1300 and 900 mm nominal diameter steel pipeline

from reservoir that will be constructed within Sarcheshmah Copper Mines to Steel Industrial

Zone and Chadormalu Mining Industry in Yazd Province .The nominal pipe pressure varies from

16 to 40 bars depending on the topography .

Third part of transmission pipe line with approximate length of 340 km will transmit the water

with the rate of 40 MCM per year (1.5 CMS) to the consumption places.

The total estimated investment cost of the Third part of transmitting pipe line including the cost

of providing pipes, equipment and enforcement costs are about 4400 billion Iranian Rials.

The route of third part of the water transmission pipe line is illustrated in Figure (4-3)

5-Project Estimated Cost:

Cost of the project includes four major parts as follows:

The cost of providing Pipe, Valves and Fitting, Coating of pipe, Execution of

Transmission pipe line and valves basin.

Construction costs include the cost of access roads, tunnels, on the way reservoirs,

vacuum reservoirs and pumping station building.

Cost of supply and installation and commissioning of mechanical and electrical

equipment of pumping stations and transmission lines.

Cost of power supply and the required power transmission lines and required

substations.

Total cost of the project is estimated breakdown of the various components as described in

table 5-1 below:
