Title: Outline of investigation, design and research of Jiangkou hydropower station
Abstract: Since the middle of 1960s,Changjiang Water Resources Commission(CWRC) has participated in the investigation,design and research of Jiangkou hydropower station,the hydrologic conditions,geologic conditions related to carst, stability of reservoir bank,resettlement, conditions for building a high arch dam,construction measures have been extensively and profoundly investigated and studied.In order to put the power station into operation by the end of 2002 and to reduce project cost,designers of CWRC have done a large amount of work in optimizing the design of water diversion tunnel,dam configuration,flood discharge and energy dissipation,powerhouse layout,cofferdam type etc. Since the construction schedule for the water diversion tunnel was delayed and the river closure was not realized in 1999,there exist more difficulties for the power station to generate electricity in 2002.After repeated investigations and studies.designers of CWRC hold that some effective improvement measures should be taken in construction technology to reduce project quantity and investment,and in doing so,the objectives to generate electricity in 2002 and to complete the project in 2003 can still be realized.
