Technical Plan for Explosive Construction of Baipazinsk Dam on the Vakhsh River (Tekhnicheskii Proekt Vzryva Pri Stroitelstve Boipazinskoi Plotiny NA Reke Vakhsh)
The USSR constructed a rockfill dam by exploding rock across the Vakhsh River in Tadzhikistan below Nurek Hydropowerplant to divert irrigation water to the Iavansk and Obi-Kuksk Valleys. The 55-m-high nonoverflow dam, containing 622,000 cubic meters excavated materials, was formed by fracturing and moving a total volume of 1,470,000 cubic meters of layered limestone from the steep right bank into the riverbed. Discharge in March, time of the explosions, was 200-400 cubic meters/sec and velocity 3-5 m/sec. A spillway with four 10-m-wide openings, sluice, stilling basin, and feeder and drainage canals were constructed before exploding the dam. A concrete-lined diversion tunnel, 7.5 km long and 5.1 m in diameter, was built on the right bank. (Author)
