CH-EC-PH-Ambuklao Dam Wall Erosion Protection (I) with MFMIII,Rev02 May2015

CASE HISTORY Rev: 02, Issue Date : May 2015 AMBUKLAO DAM WALL EROSION PROTECTION (I) Bokod, Benguet, Philippines ENVIRONMENTAL / HYDRAULIC / EROSION CONTROL Products: Maccaferri Geotextile Former Mattress, MacTex Nonwoven Geotextile Problem Ambuklao Hydroelectric Plant is located in the moun- tains of Bokod, Benguet and is about 36 kilometers Northeast of Baguio City. The plant was designed to provide 75MW of energy to the Luzon Grid. When SN Aboitiz Power—Benguet, Inc. took over the operation, they began major rehabilitation and upgrade of the facil- ity. This includes works on upstream face of dam wall which suffered major erosion problem since 1999 when the power plant stopped its operation. As a result, their Consultant and the Contractor re- quested Maccaferri Philippines to come up with the best solution. Solution After considering the actual site condition, the methodol- ogy of construction and the type of material to be used, the Consultant came up with a solution. The upstream face remediation was composed of the concrete filled geotextile (Phase 1) and Galfan-coated gabions (Phase 2). For the concrete filled geotextile, Maccaferri recommended former mattress (MFM III Type). It is made from a high-strength woven geotextile. The former mattress’ main function is to provide protec- Before Construction November 2009 tion against rainfall washouts, high speed scour and compensate the uneven settlement of the underlying soil by covering and sealing the outer face of the slope.

Appendix 5 Minuets of Discussions (Explanation of the Draft Report)
Appendix 5 Minuets of Discussions (Explanation of the Draft Report) Appendix 6 Soft Component Plan Soft Component Plan on Improvement Project for Flood Forecasting and Warning Systems on Pampanga and Agno Rivers March 2007 1. Background (1) Project background The Republic of the Philippines is located in the subtropical monsoon zone and suffers damage from rainstorms caused by the monsoons and typhoons every year. In particular, Luzon Island, the largest island of the Philippines, where most of the population and economic activities are concentrated, faces serious damage from such storms. Because of this, the Philippines has been developing flood forecasting and warning systems for the basins of major rivers on Luzon Island, including the Pampanga, Agno, Cagayan and Bicol, as part of measures to reduce the damage from floods with grant and loan aid provided by the government of Japan. Such flood forecasting and warning systems have contributed to the mitigation of flood damage in these basins. The systems in the Pampanga and Agno River basins for which the assistance is currently requested, however, are 10 to 30 years old and severely deteriorated. These systems were damaged also by natural disasters such as the volcanic mudflows from the eruption of Mount Pinatubo and Baguio earthquake in the 1990s, and are unable to function as they originally did. Under such circumstances, the Philippines has requested that Japan provide it with grant aid for the equipment maintenance needed to rehabilitate the flood forecasting and warning systems for the Pampanga and Agno River basins. The Philippines originally requested assistance for the rehabilitation of the existing systems.

The hydropower plant is located in Philippines. This report is submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim. As a fulfillment of one of the requirements for Master of Science in Hydropower Development, this report was started in January 2019 and completed in June 2019. The assignment includes the use of CFD program named SSIIM 2 to simulate the hydraulics and sediment transport in Binga reservoir. It is a genuine pleasure to express my gratitude to supervisor Associate Professor Nils Ruther for his timely advice and scientific approach. His valuable support has helped me to complete my thesis. I am indebted to my Co-supervisor Diwash Lal Maskey, Ph.D. candidate at Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for his continuous support throughout my study period. His valuable suggestions with kindness and co-operation have helped me to accomplish the task to a great extent.
