The Chirkey Dam (Chirkeisk GES) is an arch dam on the Sulak River in Dagestan,
Russia. The main purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power production and it supports a
1,000 MW power station.
More than 65 thousand cubic meters of nature collapsed as a result of the blast. The two
force of the explosion was 37 tons.
Construction on the dam began in 1964, the first generator was operational by 1974, the
last in 1976 while the project was officially completed in 1978. It is the tallest arch dam
in Russia.
The dam is a 232.5 m (763 ft) tall and 338 m (1,109 ft) long (crest) concrete arch dam. It
is 6 m (20 ft) wide at its crest, 30 m (98 ft) wide at its base and contains 1,275,000 m3
(45,026,200 cu ft) of concrete. The dam withholds a 2,780,000,000 m3 (2,253,783 acreft)
reservoir of which 1,320,000,000 m3 (1,070,141 acreft) is active or "useful" storage. The
reservoir has a surface area of 42.4 km2 (16 sq mi), length of 40 km (25 mi) and
maximum width of 5 km (3 mi). Maximum depth of the reservoir is 200 m (656 ft) and
its catchment area is 11,290 km2 (4,359 sq mi).
The dam's spillway consists of a 509 m (1,670 ft) long non-pressure tunnel with its intake
on the left bank of the dam. The spillway's capacity is 2,900 m3 /s (102,413 cu ft/s). The
dam's outlet works, spillway and power station have a combined discharge capacity of
3,550 m3 /s (125,367 cu ft/s).
The dam's power station contains 4 x 250 MW Francis turbine-generators for a total
installed capacity of 1,000 MW. Each generator is supplied with water by a penstock, all
four of which intake on the upstream side of the dam's face and run down its surface
toward the power station at the dam's base.
The Chirkey Hydroelectric Power Station performs its own kind of emergency service in
the energy system which makes it possible to replace blocks of 150-300 megawatts of
energy at thermal power plants in case of emergency
During the plants use, many scientific and practical developments have been performed
which have, in turn, increased the hydroelectric plants reliability and efficiency.
