Study & Design
Rehabilitation of the Areia Branca Dam - Brazil
Clients: EMPA
Description:
Roller compacted concrete (dam body) and earthfill (right abutment) dam for hydropower purposes, located in Manhaçu river (Brazil). The dam is 30 m high.
The spillway on the central dam body was designed for a 14 333 m3/s flow.
AQUALOGUS developed the detailed design for the rehabilitation, afeter the occurrence of a slope instability downstream of the right abutment, associated with internal erosion phenomena occurring 70 m to the right of the insertion of the dam body in the foundation.
