Saratov Hydroelectric Powerplant Construction Data (Nekotore Dannye O Stroitelstve Saratovskoi Ges)
Saratov hydrocomplex, the seventh step of the Volga cascade to be constructed in the USSR, is unique among low-head, run-of-the-river powerplants, because it is largely constructed of huge precast, reinforced concrete elements made monolithic by careful grouting of the joints and overlap welding of protruding reinforcement rods. Among the basic features described are: the common structure containing 21 vertical and 2 horizontal units for passing surplus river discharges and generating power; fish-handling facilities; two-level railroad and highway bridge; and the double single-stage dry-dock-type ship locks. Interesting features include the 3-level powerhouse arrangement with turbine bypass spillways equipped with louvered fish inlets; the earthfill dam and dikes with interlocking concrete slab slope protection; and the upstream apron constructed of 10-m-thick hydromechanized fill sandwiched between concrete slabs. The production line for precast reinforced concrete elements weighing up to 200 tons each and erection methods developed to handle such loads are described. This includes the crane-operated tilter for uprighting slabs manufactured in a horizontal position. Production methods for forming, automatic welding of reinforcement frames, pouring and vibrating, and steam-curing are given. (Author)
