Plan of Chirkeisk Hydroelectric Powerplant on the Sulak River (Proekt Chirkeiskoi Ges NA P. Sulak)

I. P. Aleshin

Chirkeisk Dam and Powerplant is the second and an important step in the multipurpose cascade of the Sulak river and its tributaries, flowing down the steep Northern Caucasus slopes across coastal lowlands to the Caspian Sea. The completed cascade through its reservoirs will regulate the rivers to provide power and full water management to the land mass downstream, including flood control, sedimentation, and water for irrigation. Chirkeisk Hydrocomplex consists of a nonoverflow concrete-arch dam, tower intake structure, underground powerplant, outlet tunnel, controlled spillway, and switchyard. Construction is in a narrow gorge, cutting through strongly layered limestones, which when grouted will provide a solid monolithic and impervious foundation. Engineering geology, project planning to select the type of structure most feasible, results of some preliminary surveys and tests, and the structures selected are described. (Author)
