Construction of dams (Earthen dams)

The construction of earthen dams involves building structures using compacted layers of soil, rock, and other materials to impound water for various purposes. Here's a brief summary:
Site Preparation: The construction site is cleared, excavated, and leveled to create a stable foundation for the dam.
Embankment Construction: Layers of soil, rock, and sometimes clay or other materials are compacted and stacked to form the embankment of the dam. This process may involve using heavy machinery to compact the layers and ensure stability.
Core Construction: A impermeable core is often constructed within the embankment to prevent water seepage through the dam. This may involve compacting clay or installing synthetic liners to create a watertight barrier.
Spillway and Outlet Structures: Spillways and outlet structures are built to safely release excess water from the reservoir and regulate water flow downstream. These structures are carefully designed to prevent erosion and maintain the stability of the dam.
Monitoring and Maintenance: Once construction is complete, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the integrity and safety of the dam. This includes regular inspections, maintenance of spillway gates and outlet works, and erosion control measures.

Earthen dams are vital for water storage, flood control, irrigation, hydropower generation, and recreation, providing essential infrastructure for communities and ecosystems.

On the basis of the license issued by the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Azerbaijan on November 1, 2019 under the registration number EL-627/2019, "PROJECT BUILDING CONSTRUCTION" was allowed to carry out the construction of dams (earth dams).
