A truly massive project: the Rogun Dam, currently under construction on the Vakhsh River in Tajikistan, will be the highest hydroelectric power plant on earth. Militzer & Münch is delivering plant and turbine parts from Austria to the construction site more than 4,000 kilometers away.
The dam in Rogun, Tajikistan, will be 660 meters long and 335 meters high. Once completed, the hydroelectric power plant will not only be the highest, but also one of the largest in the world. Construction began in 1976, was interrupted after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and resumed in 2008. The power plant is one of the flagship projects of the Global Gateway Initiative in Central Asia; it is to strengthen the regional energy supply.
Militzer & Münch has been delivering plant and turbine parts as well as tools and accessories from the supplier in Austria to Tajikistan since 2024. As requested by the customer, the shipments take the route via Turkey and the Caspian Sea. The project is scheduled to last at least five years.
“We have the advantage of being able to advise and support customers in both Austria and Tajikistan,” says Nikolay Gueorguiev, Branch Manager at M&M Militzer & Münch in Vienna. “Our experienced experts are on site in person. This means we can always provide the right services for our customers in country of destination.”
The Militzer & Münch branch in Vienna, which is responsible for this project, specializes in land freight and primarily handles large orders by road or rail. Its customers include manufacturers of agricultural and construction machinery, as well as plant engineers, manufacturers of rail vehicles, power plants, and consumer goods.
