Water development facilities inspection is of great importance due to existing risks of accidents and catastrophes (including those of anthropogenic origin).

Importance of water development facilities inspection

Water development facilities from all over the world are considered to be among the most secure facilities, however, if past experience is anything to go by, accident-free operation of water retaining facilities can not be 100 percent guaranteed.

Quantity of water development facilities in Russia, including those in abeyance: 37,250

(danger level according to the data collected from Registration and Cadastre Centre of the Federal Water Resources Agency of the Russian Federation)

Quantity of potentially hazardous objects in the given industry is more than 16 %. The specialists believe that the total amount of hazardous objects with regard to hydrodynamics is approximately 800, while the size of population living in the areas of direct life and health risks caused by possible object accidents exceeds 7 million people.

Causes of Accidents

9


More than 100 000 water retaining structures have been built around the world including an approximate amount of 35 000 big- and small-size dams. The given problem is considered to be critical due to long-term (for 30-50 years or longer) operation of the most part of big-size water retaining structures.

Spillways and floodgates of hydropower plants are among the most damaged structures. The common types of damage are the destruction of concrete surfaces of facility structural elements located in the area of a variable water level, as well as integrity damage caused to breakwater systems and tailwater dam face protection. Occasionally the damages are accompanied by underscouring and lowering of concrete slabs and dam face protection.

35% of cases out of 300 dam accidents over a 175-year period (resulting in dam break) from all over the world were results of exceeded estimated spillway flow rate (water overflow over the dam crest).

Cost determination of works on water development facility inspection

21

6. PRICING POLICY

Cost of work is considered to be a compound value based on estimated calculation that takes into account regional coefficients, pre-defined tasks (project complexity). Pricing significantly depends on the factors enlisted to the left in the figure 10.

Overhead expenses and cost of preliminaries constitute about 40 % of the estimated cost of work.

Based on the projects completed before specialists of “CSRI Kurs” JSC have determined an average notional cost of work performed:

Million of roubles per 100 m2.

III-IV classes X,XX*

I-II classes X,XX** x Кshipping

*Cost of work is notional and serves only for averaged cost determination of work performed. The given pricing does not take into account inflation either. ** Cost of work is notional and serves only for averaged cost determination of work performed. Кshipping – shipping cost coefficient. The given pricing does not take into account inflation either.
