This amazing video reveals all the secrets of the engineering marvels of hydropower plants or dams of two superpowers, China and Turkey. Over the last few decades, floods have caused the most damage in recorded history. Technology and science try to solve such problems, and kill two birds with one stone. Energy mega-projects in China and Turkey are of concern to all of us. Dams are gigantic structures that initially required dozens of dump trucks to dump rocks to block rivers and streams and hold back the water, making him one of the most expensive mega-projects. is. Humans have used different materials to build dams for centuries. Ancient dam builders in Mesopotamia used natural materials such as stone and clay to build mini-dams primarily for agricultural irrigation. Modern dam builders use modern materials such as steel and concrete, use amazing industrial machinery, very heavy machinery, large dump truck machinery, amazing next level technology, and build dam construction machinery. We pour concrete and use some of the world's largest cranes to solve problems. : How to build a dam so fast is a truly unparalleled megaproject that most people have never seen.A man-made dam creates an artificial lake called a reservoir. A dam is by no means a wasteful megaproject. Dams are important because they provide water for domestic, industrial and irrigation purposes. The largest dams also provide hydroelectric and river navigation power generation. The dam and its reservoir provide recreational areas for fishing and boating. They help people by reducing and preventing floods. You'll be amazed to see how this flawless dam construction project was brought to life with incredible next-level engineering at one of the world's most extreme construction sites in China and Turkey. We contribute to people's daily lives by providing electricity, jobs and tourism funds. Yusufeli Dam – Turkey's Expensive Mega Project The Yusufeli Dam is located on the Corfu River near Yusufeli, Artvin Province in Turkey's Eastern Black Sea region. At 270 m (886 ft) from the foundation and 223 m (732 ft) from the river valley road (the lowest point of the river bed), Yusufeli is definitely a gigantic project. The summit is 490 m (1,608 ft) long and 15 m (49 ft) wide, and consists of 2,900,000 m3 (102,412,533 cubic feet) of concrete. The cornerstone was laid on February 26, 2013, and the dam's opening date was originally set for May 29, 2018. As of 2018, the expected opening date has been pushed back to 2021. When completed, Yusufeli Dam will be the tallest dam in Turkey and the fifth tallest dam in the world. Baihetan Dam - China The Baihetan Dam is a large hydroelectric power plant located on the Jinsha River, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, in the provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan in southwestern China. The dam is a double curved arch dam with a height of 277m and a crown height of 827m.
The dam is a double curved arch dam with a height of 277 m, crown height of 827 m, base width of 72 m, and crown width of 13 m. It is China's latest major hydropower megaproject in a series of projects beginning with the Three Gorges Dam, his third largest dam in China and his fourth largest in the world by dam capacity. is considered. Actual construction began in 2017. The reservoir began to fill up in April 2021, and on June 28, 2021, the Baihetan Dam began hydroelectric generation when the turbines, the first very powerful water outlet of the project, began to operate. The third Turbine followed in July and 4th in November. The plant will have a mini-hydro power plant with 16 very powerful water outlets (turbines with a capacity of 1.0 GW each), increasing the capacity to 16,000 MW. After the Three Gorges Dam, he will be the second largest hydroelectric power station in the world.
