Abstract
A Turkish-Austrian Consortium is constructing the hydro power plant Ermenek in Turkey. Client of this project is the Turkish State Hydraulic Works, DSI. The project consists of a double curved arch dam, a large grout curtain, a pressure tunnel, a power house and appurtenant structures. The arch dam is ideally located in a narrow gorge, with a natural width at the base of 20 m and at the crest of 110m, with an entire dam height of 218 m and a concrete volume of 290 000 m3. The concreting works for the dam started on 6th September 2007 and were finished by 20th October 2009. As the reservoir has an overall volume of about 4 600 million m3 the impounding started during the construction. Within a very short time the reservoir level has increased up to 70 m above foundation. The entire dam safety concept is discussed.
