Project: Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
Client: Ethiopian Electric Power (#EEP)
Location: 700 km north-west of the capital Addis Abeba, about 14 km from the border between Ethiopia and #Sudan, in the #Benishangul_Gumuz region along the #BlueNile.
Size: Largest hydropower project in Africa, and one of worlds top 10.
Engineering dimensions: 1,800 m long, 170 m high (main gravity dam) and with a total rolled compacted concrete (#RCC) volume of 10.7 million m³. RCC is a particular mix of concrete with low cement and water content, very dry and the mix characterized by extended setting times and superior mechanical performance.
Reservoir: surface area of 1,875 km2 and a volume of 74 billion m³. It collects rainwater and river water and channels it to the #maindam; the average annual outflow is estimated at around 50 billion m³ of water.
