Yusufeli Dam | 1. Filling & Performance Review

|   Projects

The initial performance review of the Yusufeli Dam’s first filling was delivered by Dr. Quentin Shaw from ARQ Consulting Engineers DSI.

The positive outcomes of the Yusufeli Dam during its phased filling - with accurate matches between forecasted and observed behaviours - underscore the precision and dependability of our models. This accomplishment brings pride to our team, showcasing their contribution to a project that exemplifies technical mastery and teamwork.

During his showcase, Dr. Shaw underscored the essential contribution of our colleagues. From the beginning, our geotechnical assessments were thorough, resulting in the creation of a comprehensive rock mass model using Leapfrog software. This model uncovered a complicated geological setting, necessitating the development of an advanced finite element (FE) model to guarantee the dam's foundation would function safely under various conditions.
