Borçka Dam and HEPP was designed and built on the Çoruh River, 30 km. from the Artvin City in the Black Sea Region, by an international consortium where Yüksel is a member. Borçka Dam is a central clay cored fill and has a crest length of 728 m., it enjoys a 7,785,000 m³ backfill volume, and a 300 MW installed capacity and the eventual goal is to generate 1,039 GWh of power annually. The Civil Construction of the Dam was undertaken by Yüksel - Strabag (Austria) - Temelsu; while its electro-mechanical and hydro-mechanical works were undertaken by Austrian firms Va Tech Elin, Va Tech Voest, Verbundplan and Voith Sulzer.

Later on, transfer of the Borçka-Artvin State Highway to over the dam lake is also included into the contract and this is being executed by Yüksel Construction, Inc.
