[quote author=DORS post=71712297][/quote] here we go into the stage of putting in the reinforcement, as most of us might be aware, blasting would only do its job but the shape above was recreated by arranging large boulders from.the blast to fill up excess space in the foundation, no Engr would want to waste concrete there because the space is massive, however using boulders and biding them with concrete is all we did. its economical and stronger for the dam foundation |

DORS:hope am not alone on this one. the summary of the whole is that we got the space for our foundation after months, this was our a major delay. the intake volme is not as small as you see from those small pipes, its just that we have controlled the volume at different points from the water way. from the photo also its clear seeing steel reinforcements buried in two partly below the rock surface, that's the anchor of the dam and its buried three metre below the surface, y20dia 1 Like |

[quote author=DORS post=71671147][/quote] To construct a dam a diversion of the water inflow has to be done. However the presence of igneous rock very close to the ground level was another gross challenge because creating a canal that can adequately channel water away for the time being was impossible, hence the two pipes in the seen in pics above did the job 1 Like |

[quote author=DORS post=71671147][/quote] from the stage of excavation was a great challenge. guess what, it was the presence of massive igneous rock in the area of the proposed construction, averagely 1to 1.5m below the normal GL. hence our sure option was to blast the rocks, the really active work going on at this stage of the project, was surveying. surveying in the sense that we are way past preliminary survey work, the survey work to keep the project on forward move was marking points on rocks at known distance , where holes would be drilled through the rock using compressed air machine drillers for the dynamite to be buried, sure it means a separate expense for the project and awarding them to professionals, how much more was spent 1 Like |
