Bar dam is located on Bar River on the slopes of Binaloud
Mountains in Neyshabour City. This dam is 35.5 meters high from the foundation
with a crest width of 10 meters and a 1500-meter crest length with a reservoir
volume of 14 million cubic meters. The purpose of the construction of this dam
is to provide drinking water to the city of Neyshabur and the industrial water
needed by Khorasan Steel Complex. The dam was constructed off stream of the
river. Therefore, the river flow is transmitted to the dam reservoir from the
upstream of the Cofferdam by a concrete transmission canal of about 1815 m,
with a width of 5 m and a depth of 3.2 m
The Islamic Development Bank awarded approximately 25 million Euros in terms of
Agency and Istisna’a Agreements for the construction of Bar Dam and
transmission canal. The Khoasan Razavi Regional Water Company was the
beneficiary and Executive Agency of the Islamic Development Bank. The SWRCE
Company was selected as the PMC by the Khoasan Razavi Regional Water Company
and approved by the Islamic Development Bank for the purpose of carrying out
the management services of the dam and transmission canal and affiliated
facilities. The dominance of international regulations especially the
regulations of the Islamic Development Bank and the experience of working in
this field were the essential conditions to carry out the management services
of Bar Dam Project
The Project was financed by the Islamic Development Bank
