Following the successful completion of the 500 kV Suki Kinari Transmission Line, NESPAK continued to provide consultancy services during the defects liability period to ensure consistent system performance and reliability. The firm also remained engaged in design review, contract administration, and bid evaluation for ongoing interconnection projects within the northern transmission network. These include the 500 kV transmission lines from Sangal to the Maira Switching Station (approximately 83 kilometers) and from Maira to Islamabad West, along with a link connecting Maira to the Karot switchyard. These transmission corridors are pivotal for integrating newly developed hydropower projects—such as Suki Kinari, Kohala, and Mahl—into the national grid, thereby enhancing power evacuation capacity and contributing to the stability of Pakistan's electricity transmission system.
In a landmark achievement for Pakistan's cultural and security infrastructure, the Expansion of the Joint Check Post (JCP) Wagha has been successfully completed in record time.
