The objective of the consultancy was to undertake a comprehensive safety review of Alto Anchicay\u00e1 Dam (140 m high concrete-face rockfill dam), Salvajina Dam (148 m high concrete-face rockfill dam) and Prado Dam (90 m high embankment dam).<\/p>

The activities carried out for all three dams comprised:<\/p>

  • Field investigations to verify the mechanical properties of the materials and soils.<\/li>
  • Geological and geomorphological analyses and geotechnical studies of the dams.<\/li>
  • Statistical analysis and modelling of dam instrumentation data.<\/li>
  • Structural modelling of the three dams using three-dimensional stress\u2013strain models developed with FLAC software.<\/li>
  • Qualitative risk analysis through Failure Mode Identification and quantitative risk analysis using risk models.<\/li>
  • Preparation of a final report containing all the consultancy results.<\/li><\/ul>

    The following additional activities were undertaken for Alto Anchicay\u00e1 and Prado dams:<\/p>

    • Flood estimation and analysis based on a detailed hydrological study.<\/li>
    • Reassessment of the hydraulic capacity of the outlet structures using a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model.<\/li>
    • Two-dimensional hydraulic modelling of the downstream areas using HEC-RAS and preparation of flood risk maps for different dam-break and release scenarios.<\/li>
    • Assessment and optimisation of the gate operation protocol.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
