Description
This large project, located in the Panamanian province of Bocas del Toro, includes in its main phase the dam of the future reservoir in the Changuinola River, which will have a capacity of 223 MW.
In the construction of this 99.2 m high dam, 875,000 m3 of concrete have been poured.
ULMA Solution
With extensive experience in multiple projects, ULMA devised a unique formwork solution for the construction of this RCC-type dam.
For the formwork on the upstream side of the dam, a climbing system with steel panels has been designed that meets all safety guidelines. For the downstream side, systems of steel panels combined with MK System components for high load capacity structures, common in civil engineering, were used.
600 t of material were supplied on time, thus adequately responding to customer needs in spite of the demanding rainy and tropical climate of that area.
