INTRODUCTION
For Economic development of Afghanistan, energy development is one of the key factors.
Renewable energy is the most important and sustainable source for energy in the country.
Afghanistan has a good potential of renewable energy such as solar, wind, biomass and hydro,
the solar energy is the most effective and feasible source for implementation of solar project.
Afghanistan has 300 sunny days annually with an average insolation of 6.5 kwh/m2/day.
The main objective of MEW is to facilitate the development of renewable energy (RE) in
Afghanistan with an aim to increase energy security, access to sustainable energy to its
population and help foster a low carbon growth agenda for the country. Afghanistan is rich in
energy resources, both fossil fuel based and renewable. Having said that, the country stilldepends
heavily on imported electricity and fuels and has one of the lowest per capita consumption of
electricity in the world. Renewable energy sector development is one of the priority areas for the
government, for immediate purpose of providing access to clean energy to remote and rural
population and for medium to long term purpose of providing energy security to the country.
Over the past decade with the improvement in the technology and economy of scale, renewable
energy has become affordable for common public.
Ghor is one of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan, located in the central part of the country which
surrounded by 8 provinces such as Bamyan, Daykundi, Urozgan, Helmand, Farah, Heart, Badghis,
Faryab and Sar-e-Pul. This province is divided into 9 districts which are listed below respectively:
Dolatyar, Charsada, Shahrak, Tolak,Lal, Dolina,Tewara, Saghar and Pasawand, this province has a
population of about 800000. The national grid extension is not in the short term plan of the
government, so the electrification of this province by renewable Energy sources has priority for
best solution of power generation in a short period of time, construction of the solar power plant
is one of the most useful and best solution for electrification of the Ghor Province. FerozKoh city
the capital of Ghor province has different scale of productive shops such as carpentries, metal
works and etc, about 1000 commercial shops, hotels, restaurants, ten administrative
governmental offices and more than 10 public buildings has needed for electricity.

3.1.1 GEO-HAZARD
Geologic and seismic hazards are those hazards that may impact a site due to the surrounding
geologic and seismic conditions. Geologic hazards include landslides, flooding and erosion,
subsidence, and poor soil conditions. Seismic hazards include phenomena that occur during or
soon after an earthquake, such as primary ground rupture, strong ground shaking, liquefaction
and seismically induced settlement. These studies shall be carried out by contractor.
There are various geophysical techniques method used for subsurface exploration.
The contractor should select those geophysical methods that meet up these scopes.
MEW projects are intended to provide the design engineer various design parameters including
but not limited to:
Friction angle, ɸ
Cohesion, c
Unlike other civil engineering materials, soils and rocks have significant variability associated with
them. Their engineering properties can vary dramatically within a few meters in an area of
proposed construction. A thorough and comprehensive site investigation is therefore a
prerequisite for design of all civil engineering structures and it is one of the most important steps
in the geotechnical design.
The planning of the site exploration program involves location, number and depth of test pits or
borings, or other methods to be used, and methods of sampling and tests to be carried out. The
purpose of the exploration program is to determine, within practical limits, the stratification and
engineering properties of the soils underlying the site. The principal properties of interest will be
the strength, deformation. The program should be planned so that the maximum amount of
information can be obtained at minimum cost.
USACE's Engineer Manual 1110-1-1804, Geotechnical Investigations, and EM 1110-1-1802,
Geophysical Exploration, contain information useful for the planning and execution of
geotechnical explorations.
The Contractor shall develop all relevant geotechnical design and construction
parameters based on findings from site investigation, in-situ testing, laboratory tests and
analysis results.
All geotechnical laboratory and field works shall be based on standards set forth by ASTM
International Standard. Contractor shall not use any other standards, unless prior
approval from MEW.
Standard penetration test (SPT) shall be performed per ASTM D1586.
Given the presence of loess in many regions of the country, the selected geotechnical
testing lab must be able to perform ASTM D 5333 and justify the soil being collapsible or
not.
The contractor should add the codes and standards in Geotechnical Plan that would be
applied to the subsoil investigation services and obtain approval from the Client before
the commencement of works.
3.3.5 LABORATORY
The Contractor’s Laboratory for sampling and testing shall be a third party lab both in
Geo-Technical and construction phase of the project.

responsibility for complying with the requirements of this contract and future
consequences of the wrong submittals.
The Contractor shall provide all necessary water, water tanks and suitable means of
pressurizing for cleaning casing prior to sampling, coring rock etc.
The Contractor shall provide such platforms as may be necessary to maintain drill rigs
level when making horizontal or vertical borings on sloped land, soft ground and similar.
The Contractor shall provide pontoons and such platforms as may be necessary to
