Lomati Dam

Repair and refurbishment of 120m of 500mm diameter outlet pipe. Slope stabilization of 2500m2 vertical cliff face over spillway. Raise the existing lay core of the dam by 2.5m in order to comply with dam safety requirements.

Ingeop South Africa have been involved from the application of funding from the MWIG to the preliminary and final design and finally up to construction supervision stage of the repair and refurbishment works to Lomati Dam. Investigation into the repair and refurbishment works began as far back as 2008, with construction commencing in November 2013. Once the dam safety requirements of Lomati Dam have been met, ISA will commence work investigating the raising of the dam wall in order to increase the dam yield. This will involve the possible use of fuse-gates at the existing spillway.
