In situ Geomonitoring of the Rock Slopes of Tailraces

Аннотация

In situ geomechanical monitoring is used to develop efficient and optimal methods for stabilizing the hard rock slopes of the tailraces of a HPP. The condition of the rock is assessed using seismic tomography and monitoring displacements and deformations. Results of geomonitoring of the slopes of the tailraces of the Kuma HPP on the Kola Peninsula are presented. Recommendations on strengthening the slopes are amended substantially.
