The following are the viewpoints of Eng.
Ahmad Jami, Managing Director of Pars Special Economic Energy Zone Co., where
he briefly describes the various infrastructural projects and zone development
plans being implemented in the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone.
Possession of Lands and Securing the
Area: The Cabinet of
Ministers has recognized Pars Special Economic Energy Zone as Iran’s official
boundaries and so it would be important to secure the area. We mull over
80,000-meter fencing with 70,000 meters accomplished so far. The fencing
involves the northern, eastern and western sections.
Domestic Road Network and Road
Construction Projects: We
have been building domestic roads to connect industrial sites in the area. The
main roads are as follows: The road stretching from entrance to center of the
area, the road stretching from the entrance to the service-providing port, the
road connecting the airport and central entrance boulevard, the road
connecting Assaluyeh and Nakhl Taqi villages with the new road in north of the
zone. The construction operations of the mentioned roads have been started and
are in different stages. The operations have progressed from 10 to 100 and the
projects cost will be more than 1,000 billion Rials.
Pars - Port Complex:
The service-providing port is one of the
comprehensive port complexes (Service Port and Petrochemical Port) measures
140 hectares and it can let 75,000-ton ships berth. Once completed, the
service-providing port can accept loading and unloading of around 10 million
tons of goods including one million tons of sulfur, three million tons of
container-ferried products and six million tons of machinery for refinery.
-
35% progress in Service Providing
Port. The nominal capacity is 10 million tons per annum, which can let 12
ships berth simultaneously, and 1800 billion Rials investment will be made
for this Port.
-
27% progress in Petrochemical Port,
The nominal capacity is 30 million tons per annum, which can let 15 ships
berth simultaneously, and 3700 billion Rials investment will be made for
this Port.
Comprehensive Telecom Project:
Located on 1,400 square meters
adjacent at Kangan Boulevard, the Comprehensive Telecom Project is a two-story
building with a telephone center in each site. The single story building of
the telephone center has 360 square meters of built-up area. The telephone
centers are connected to the telecom center through buried optic fibers and
telecom lattices. The center can offer up to 10,000 wireless telephone lines
and 40,000 wired telephone lines.
Water Supply Projects:
The water projects under study are:
1. Installment of two water desalination
plant with a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters per day
2. Building two concrete water tanks
with capacities of 30,000 and 5,000 cubic meters
3. Laying on network for transfer of
water from desalination plant to tanks (under design)
4. Setting up water distribution network
(which is in materials provision stage)
5. Water supply from Moharram project
and Kowsar Dam in the mid-term
Power Supply Projects:
1. Final negotiating with a German
company for building 600-Megawatt power plant under Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)
method.
2. Building seven electricity
substations with capacities of 100 to 200 Megawatts and 132.20 and 20
kilovolts.
3. Laying a 40-kilometer 132-kilovolt

lighting are under design.
International Airport:
The new airport is designed on an
area of 18 hectares which includes the airport itself and the peripheral
buildings, the executive operations of which have started since June 2003. The
tarmac, hangar, fencing and patrolling roads are estimated to cost 70 billion
rials; terminals are prefigured to cost 150 billion rials for transferring
750,000 passengers per annum. The control tower and its technical buildings
located on 1,000 square meters cost 20 million rials while peripheral
buildings like the fire fighting and meteorology section cost about 40 billion
rials. The entire project is estimated to devour 280 billion rials.
