Dam and Tunnels

dams

Expertise in the construction of earthfill, rockfill and concrete dams, matched with tunnel construction experience for irrigation, potable water transmission, power generation, highways and railways, provides ITD with the knowledge and resources to complete the complex water supply and hydro-electricity generation projects necessary to meet Thailand's and the neighbouring region's ever expanding needs economically and to schedule.

The complex Khao Laem Dam multi-purpose hydro-electric project in Kanchanaburi in the west of Thailand exemplifies ITD's dam construction capabilities. The 1,000 m long, 127 m high concrete-faced rock-fill dam rests on a 50 m deep concrete diaphragm cutoff wall, which prevents seepage under the dam. During construction the existing river was diverted through a 7 m diameter horseshoe shaped tunnel. Ancillary structures include an inlet tower and penstocks which supply water to the 300 MW
hydro-electric generating station.

Across Thailand, ITD has completed 7 major dams and more than 30 km of large diameter tunnels during the past 30 years. This expertise, covering the planning to implementing phases, is now being exported to India, Laos, Myanmar and the Philippines on build-operate-transfer hydro-electric and irrigation projects.

Khao Laem Multi-purpose Dam and Tunnel (February 1980 - February 1985)

Construction of a 1,000 m long, 127 m high concrete faced earthfill dam, power house and a 7 m diameter horseshoe division tunnel 420 m long. Total embankment fill of about 8.2 million m3, 1.5 million m3 of rock excavation and 400,000 m3 of concrete work.

Pattani Multipurpose Dam (October 1977 - June 1980)

Construction of a dam 80 m high, 422 m long with 2.9 million m3 of earth and rock fill, twin water diversion tunnels each 7 m in diameter and 394 m and 437 m long and steel lined power conduit 6 m in diameter and 249 m long. The 3 generators in the partially underground powerhouse generating 24 MW per unit.
