First-Line Cofferdam of Huichon Power Station No. 9 Completed
Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- Builders from Pyongyang City have completed the first-line cofferdam of the Huichon Power Station No. 9.

The completion of the cofferdam makes it possible to make a footing excavation for the dam within winter and finish the concrete tamping for damming before rainy season.

With a plan to complete the construction of the station in the main by the end of this year, constructors successfully built the cofferdam by operating all vehicles at full-capacity.

They carried away 45,000 cubic meters of earth in a little more than 10 days.

They are now pressing ahead with preparations for the second-line cofferdam project as well as the footing excavation.
