Hardfill Manufacture – Appropriate dam technology for Africa by David Cameron-Ellis
In this paper the author describes the peculiar constraints prevalent in the development of infrastructure in remote locations in Africa and the specific challenges faced during the design and construction of a Hardfill dam in central Africa. In the process, the reader is introduced to a technology that is particularly appropriate for implementation on fast-track, small and medium-size hydropower projects on large rivers in remote locations.
