This project was assigned to the BONP in April 1993 by the management of 15 Khordad Dam as a sub-contractor to excavate 400,000 cubic meters boulders and transport them 25 Km to the location of the dam site for construction of a dike to protect the Ghom-Isfahan highway from flooding after impoundment of the dam. This rock-fill embankment was 140 meters long and up to 20 maters high adjacent to the dam body and 3 meters high near the highway. The dam was located at Dalijan County 250 Km south of Tehran. The Dam construction was so urgent that started without sufficient studies by consultant engineers ( Mahab ), so Phase 1 of project studies was conducting during the construction and therefore a lot of changes needed to be added during construction work. One of the additional operations was to construct this dike to prevent water to flood the highway after impoundment. Since the dike should be built before impounding, so the job was urgent and with a tight schedule. BONP hired more than 40 trucks, bulldozers, loaders and mechanical shovels to do the job on-time. Whole budget for this process was 580 Million Rials. The job was done in less than 3 months and turned over to Sabir Company, the main contractor.
