Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, Egypt
Delivery parties
Dai Nippon Construction - contractor identified by the water ministry
Contract route
JICA's EG-P35 record identifies a March 2015 loan agreement for JPY 5,854 million. The water ministry identifies Dai Nippon Construction as contractor; the loan amount describes financing.
Execution window
The ministry's March 2026 status reports barrages operation on 28 February, monitoring-system trial operation on 30 March, 99.1% overall progress and commencement of operation-and-maintenance training. Its revised 15 June completion target is a published programme date.
Works package
Bahr Youssef, Ibrahimia, Badraman, Deiroutia and Abu Gabal regulators, Dalgawi and Sahelia intakes, and a discharge/level monitoring system. The ministry lists 38 monitoring stations, a main station at the barrages control building and an Assiut sub-monitoring station.
Marine interfaces
The hydraulic complex distributes irrigation water between seven principal outlets. Operating performance links headworks settings, downstream withdrawals, field measurements and intake/pump interfaces across the canal network.
Commercial evidence boundary
The operating task combines the regulator structures, field sensors, monitoring locations, downstream intake condition and pump-status interfaces. Acceptance and maintenance planning should follow the complete measurement and allocation function.

Evidence gap

What remains unverified

Outstanding evidence

  • Monitoring-system final acceptance
  • Calibrated measurements and operator training
  • Branch intake and pump-status interfaces
  • Subsequent allocation and maintenance results
