Project Overview<\/h2>\n
\n

The General Administration of the New Esna Barrage was established following the completion of the New Esna Barrage project in 1994. Its responsibilities include operating, maintaining and protecting the barrage and managing its associated infrastructure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project aims to modernize the operation and monitoring systems of the New Esna Barrage spillway gates and improve operational efficiency through mechanical, electrical and civil works. These include rehabilitating gates and operating equipment, upgrading control and monitoring systems, and constructing a control and monitoring building.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The works also include upgrading the electrical power supply system, installing a SCADA monitoring and control system and a fire alarm system, rehabilitating the hydraulic system for the flap gates, and repairing cracks and waterproofing the gate chambers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.mwri_esna_goal_en{padding:20px !important;}”]
