Preparation of Master Plan and Detailed Engineering Design for the improvement of the Dhobikhola Corridor and Kapan-Budanilkantha Flood/Inundation Control

Project: Preparation of Master Plan and Detailed Engineering Design for the improvement of the Dhobikhola Corridor and Kapan-Budanilkantha Flood/Inundation Control
Client: Dhobikhola Corridor and Kapan-Budanilkantha Flood Control Project
Location: Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Bagmati Province
Date: Ongoing

Drainage systems in Kathmandu valley are increasingly overburdened during extreme precipitation events and are stretched to their limits by increasing populations. As a result, the streets of Kathmandu valley around Kapan-Budhanilkantha area flood every monsoon due to inadequate capacity of the sewer system and surface drainage. Hence, this project has been introduced to prepare the overall master plan of Dhobikhola catchment and detail engineering design for mitigating measures of flooding and inundation at Kapan- Budhanilkantha area.

The project consists of the preparation of technical study report for Dhobikhola corridor rehabilitation and Kapan Budanilkantha area and preparation of detailed engineering report for flood control measures as per ToR which could be implemented in the vicinity of the Kapan Area.
