The Main Dam is designed with the crest of 545m, crest width of 10m, axis length of 138.43m and max. height of 30m. The construction area of the Main Dam is complex and variable in terms of magnetostratigraphy and geology. SCI PMC has studied a lot of design options for the Dam structure and selected the optimized one as using local materials.
