第16回ダム現場見学記

 

 I would like to start this dissertation with my deepest gratitude and indebtedness to my professor, for his invaluable advice, guidance and kind encouragement throughout my studying in Japan, such as the study tour at Hokkaido. The study tour at Hokkaido was very important, because I can improve my understanding of dam engineering. Especially, I am much obliged for Mr. KURODA HIKARU (黒田 晃 様, 日本工営会長) is the president of Japan Society of dam ngineering, that submitted me for participating this study tour, and Mr. KATSUYUKI UEDA (上田勝幸 様, 大成.地崎.竹中JV忠別ダム作業所長) provided me with some documents of dam engineering. Word of thank must also go to members of whose participated with on this study tour at Hokkaido such as: Mr. HAGA TOSHICHI (芳賀 敏二 様, 北海道開発局忠別ダム建設事業所長), Mr. YACHIMA KUNINORI (矢島 国紀 様, 日本ダム協会常務理事) and another person, that provided me with some good ideas of dam engineering.

 Before I describe about my study tour at Hokkaido, I would like to inform you, what I was studied at my home country. Five years, I studied a dam engineering and my thesis was the micro hydroelectric station, that the electric power could provide 900KW. All kind of dam was studied such as earth dam concrete dam, etc. The concrete dam was the best important of my studying, but my understanding had a limited. This case, I would like to improve my understanding of dam engineering, because I still have some problems about it. For example, the classification of concrete for types I, II, III, they are complicated for me, because these types need who had a lot of experiences. Japan is the country has a high level of technology of concrete engineering, such as dams, bridges, etc. So I hope that, I will be able to improve my understanding in Japan.

 The energy crisis produced by the increased priced of oil has led to a worldwide renewal of interest in all exploitable energy resources. Hydroelectricity is one are which has seen a great resurgence of interest, to such an extent that all countries with hydraulic resources are now seriously considering the development of low and middle power hydroelectricity. The developing countries, which have been very seriously affected by the oil price rises (and which also have technical difficulties in maintaining diesel generators), are encouraging the increased use of hydroelectric power through developing a better knowledge of their available water resources. Hydraulic power is a form of non polluting solar energy which can easily converted into electricity of up to 70%.

 At my home country, the diesel generators make many problems, such as the oil price rises, the problems of nvironment such as pollution, etc. The Cambodia government has any plan to construct and reconstruct the ydroelectric station, that it is the best way to solve the social problems. Especially, it not provides only a electric power, but it can provides the important points such as: the irrigation system, water supply, flood control, etc. Every year, we have many problems about the flood, because many dams were destroyed by war. This year, the Cambodia and Japan government had signed together to reconstruct the Prek Thnot dam, that it will be able to provide the electric power 30 MW, and will be able to develop the irrigation systems on this areas. This case, the study tour at Hokkaido was very important for me, that I can improve my experience.

 The first day, we visited the underconstruction of Chubetsu dam. As a multi purpose dam under the jurisdiction of the ministry of construction, Chubetsu dam will be constructed as part of the Ishikari river comprehensive development project.

 

Figure1: Chubetsu dam

 

Figure1, the dam site has the following characteristics: the riverbed is approximately 600 meters wide and require a wide dam body, the site is almost entirely covered with a larger of gravel as thick as 40 meters at the riverbed, and it was necessary to evaluate the site¢s suitability as a dam foundation and to examine methods of making the foundation impermeable to water. The condition of its foundation rock, pyroxene, is complex and there are some metamorphic parts. As a result, it was decided to make it a composite dam with a gravity type concrete dam section on the left bank and a center core type fill dam section using part of the gravel layer as its foundation on the right bank. The adoption of large scale of underground diaphragm wall, to make the foundation impermeable to water is a breakthrough idea. The capability of Chubetsu dam can provide such as: the flood control of discharge 1,600 m3/sec of water flowing to the dam by thawing or flooding may be 860 m3/sec will be stored at the dam to prevent flood damage on the Chubetsu river and the Ishikari river into which the former flows. The dam will supply the agricultural water for approximately 21,400 ha of the irrigation system. It will be possible to take 70,000 m3 of water daily for water supply to this regions. The electric power can provide 10 MW direct under the dam.

 

Figure2 : Takisato dam

 

The next day after visited Chubetsu dam, we went to visit another dam. The Takisato dam will be completed on this year. This dam is a multi purpose dam in the Ishikari river was integrated development project and directly managed by the ministry of construction. Figure2, it is being constructed on the Sorachi river of the Ishikari river system. The Sorachi river flows through the cities of Ashibetsu and Furano near the center of Hokkaido. Takisato dam is a 50 high and 445 meters long concrete gravity dam with volume of 455,000m3, and a reservoir capacity of 108,000 m3. The purpose of the dam is to provide flood control, maintenance of river water functions, water supply, irrigation system, electric power can provided 57 MW of power from station, etc. Great damage due to the unprecedented floods in August of 1975 and 1981 forced revisions of the master plan for river works of the Ishikari river system in March 1982. The revised plans included the construction of the Takisato dam and master plan was approved in September 1984 in accordance with the specific multi purpose of dam law.
