On November 11, 2009 the Millennium Challenge Account - Armenia
(MCA-Armenia) SNCO signed a contract with a consortium consisting of
Arpa-Sevan OJSC (Armenia) and Sade (France) to rehabilitate/repair 35,4
kilometers of sections on the Arzni-Shamiram, Lower Hrazdan, Artashat
and Shirak main canals and about 70 hydro-technical structures in
Arzni-Shamiram and Shirak main canals. Together with the work under
the first package of main canals, a total of 39.6 kilometers of canals
will be rehabilitated and more than 20 million dollars invested in
the improvement of the canal infrastructure in Armenia. More than
110, 000 beneficiaries in around 200 communities will be able to have
access to more reliable water in Ararat, Aragatsotn, Armavir, Kotayk,
and Shirak marzes.
The value of the contract is 14,618,601 dollars and the term of the
contract 18 months. The scope of the rehabilitation works includes
cleaning of the canals, rehabilitation of outlets and gates, and
utilization of monolith concrete, reinforced concrete and such advanced
technologies as shotcrete.
Additional works under MCA-Armenia's Irrigation Infrastructure will
involve the rehabilitation of 17 pumping stations, construction of up
to six gravity schemes, upgrading of tertiary irrigation systems in
over 70 communities and improvements to the Ararat valley drainage
system. Total investment into the MCA-Armenia Program should amount
to about 180,000, 000 dollars by the time the program ends in 2011
