This run-of-the-river dam is located on the famous Karun River some 160 km from the provincial capital, Ahwaz. As one of the cascade dams on Karun, the main objective of the project is generation of 2000 MW of hydroelectric power, while the relatively small reservoir is sufficient for the provision of potable water for the adjacent city of Masjed-e-Soleyman.
Tablieh, as the leading member of the Tablieh–Perlite Joint Venture was responsible for over 80% of the project civil works (both above and underground) in the context of various subcontracts from the Korean-Japanese main contractors, the Daelim–Sato Joint Venture.
