Rate of rise and stability assessments Sample Clauses

Rate of rise and stability assessments. The Consultant assumes that the existing Ash Dam Compartment 3 is not stable. The Consultant therefore is required to quantify the seepage water emanating from the ash dam 3 compartment ash column and design a subsoil drain/s and a buttress if required to allow ash dam 3 to be free draining and stable during construction and operations of the new ash dam compartments and until the end of life of ash dam 3. The Consultant assumes full responsibility for the interim and permanent solution to stabilize Ash Dam Compartment 3. Ash dam 4.2 could serve as a buttress to eliminate the potential instabilities of ash dam compartment 3 and Dam 4.1 could serve as a buttress to compartment 2, however until the new dams have reached an adequate height to act as a buttress, it may be necessary to provide an earth toe buttress on the existing compartment slopes. The constructability of ash dam 4.2 must be considered by the Consultant; therefore suitable measures to ensure constructability to take place are included in the detailed design as the area currently contains portions of saturated soils. The Consultant is required to conduct the following additional studies:  Rate of Rise versus de-loading study for existing ash dams – the Consultant determines the station de-loading rate per year for a constant maximum Rate of Rise of 3.5 m/y if only the existing ash dams (Dams 1, 2 & 3 and Infill area between Dams 1 & 2) are used from the date of the LIDAR survey until the end of the station life decommissioning and also for the additional contingency period. Additional soil toe buttresses must be provided where necessary based on stability analyses to ensure the increased heights of the existing ash dam compartments are stable. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the very costly new works for ash dam 4.1 and 4.2 and associated works is necessary in light of the reduction of the station life expectancy from 60 to 50 years, which means the previously required remaining 20 year life is now reduced by half to only 10 years. In addition, the average station GLF has been reduced from 80% to 60% to be closer to the actual long term average GLF. Deloading of the ash dam could also be achieved by placing some of Xxxxx’x ash on Matla’s ash dam.  Rate of rise versus ash deposition study for existing and new ash dams – the Consultant is to conduct the necessary analyses to determine the rate of rise of the existing and new facilities in relation to the provided GLF from the...
