Introduction of new technology on the construction of the Shamkhor hydroelectric station

Conclusions

As a result of the development and introduction of rational layouts and designs — the use for the dam site of a river valley with a monadnock and construction of earth dams, layouts and construction of a separate type of irrigation intake, combined type of diversion-service spillway and progressive construction technologies, and the use of effective plasticizing additives to the concrete mix and optimal types of forrawork — on construction of the hydro development, a substantial reduction in the construction and assembly works, shortening of the construction time, and reduction of the estimated cost of the structures were achieved. The total economic effect is more than 2 million rubles. The experience in the construction and operation of the hydro development confirmed the high technical and economic effectiveness of the new technologies introduced and they can be recommended for use when constructing other hydrostations of the middle Kura cascade.
