Answer 7

Power Curbers Has Crucial Role in
Largest RCC Dam in World

Four Power Curber 8700s worked 20 hours per day slipforming the upper and lower faces of a huge dam in Thailand that has taken 5 years to complete.

The Klong Tha Dan Dam, located on the Nakon Nayok River, was built in sections between hills in the rugged terrain.

The four machines slipformed more than 1.7 million feet of concrete in the faces of the dam, a 305-foot (93m) high structure located about 120 km north of Bangkok. Two of the machines slipformed the upper face and the other two, the lower face.

The dam is the largest roller-compacted concrete dam in the world, based on volume of concrete used, and holds the world’s record for the most RCC placed in one day --- 10,000 cubic yards, according to the Portland Cement Association.

Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is an economical and high-performance material used to construct pavements and dams at a high speed of construction. Similar to conventional concrete, the main ingredients of RCC are cement, aggregates and water. RCC offers the performance of conventional concrete but is constructed at a much faster rate using earth-moving and paving equipment.

The five-year project in Thailand began in November of 1999 and is to be completed by the end of 2004. The first slipform machine was delivered in October 2000. The machines finished their part of the project on schedule in early 2004 and performed to the customer’s satisfaction, according to Power Curbers’ dealer in Thailand, Pongpanth Limwongthong of Italthai Industrial Co. Ltd.

The dam is more than 8,900 feet long (2,720m) with a maximum height of 305 feet. A total of 327,000 cu m of conventional concrete (3,318.520 cubic feet) was used, along with 5.4 million cu m of RCC (58 million cubic feet).

The four Power Curbers slipformed 1,738,400 feet (530,000m) of concrete. Eight different molds were used for the faces of the dam because of the graduated change in the slope of the structure. The interlocking passes on the faces varied in width from almost 1 foot (.3m ) to 2.29 feet (.7m) and in height from 1.9 feet (.6m) to 2.9 feet (.9m)

The project was initiated by His Majesty, the King of Thailand, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX).
The dam is expected to:
• Reduce damages from floods in the Nakorn Nayok Basin by 35%.
• Improve the soil for agriculture by washing acid from the topsoil.
• Promote the fishing industry, with 58 tons of fish expected to be harvested per year.
• Supply 16 million cubic meters of water to the surrounding districts.
• Become a tourist destination.

The contractor is CCVK Joint Venture which consists of the China National Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Corp., the China Electric Power Technology Import & Export Corp., Vichitbhan Construction Co. Ltd., and Krung Thon Engineers Co., Ltd. Vichitbhan and Krung Thon are the team leaders. Engineers are Asdecon Corp. Co. Ltd, Team Consulting Engineer Co. Ltd., and Coyne et Beller.
