Studio Pietrangeli l dams & hydropower engineering’s Post

Designers of the Dibang RCC dam (278 m high, India) We are pleased to say that National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) has appointed Studio Pietrangeli (with Smec India) for the design and supervision of construction of Dibang Dam, in the Himalayan mountains in Arunachal Pradesh. The dam is a gravity RCC structure, 278 m high, that will become the world’s highest and largest RCC dam, once completed.

NHPC design team that time designed the dam. Dilemma waa was that as huge and big spillway gates were to be provided at the bottom level of the dam for effective flushing the huge upstream reservoir, then how to do it in a RCC dam. Other appurtenant structures are also to be provided for energy dissipation etc .Huge concrete is also to be poured in the lower section of the dam. So the construction schedule and methodology became a question. am curious about your planning to understand.

Investigation started a decade ago......and hope soon will start construction of such a Mega Hydro Project.

Congratulations! You may even consider using our Fibretron GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER (GFRP) Rebars for construction in place of Steel TMT bars. It is 2x Stronger, 4 times lighter and 40% cheaper as compared to Steel. It is non- corrosive and increases lifecycle by 2 times and reduces carbon emissions by 80%. It is also BIS and IRC approved. For more info, I can be contacted on 9999997522 or info@fibretron.in.

Good luck. Take care of Geological investigation because we faced problems earlier in Himalaya.
