Canadian Dam Association Bulletin, 16-25. Before it reached the river and flowed into the Lower Reservoir where it was entirely contained, the flood destroyed 281 acres of Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park and ripped the superintendent’s home from its base. Located approximately 6 miles north of the town of Lesterville and 1 mile east of the Black River, the Upper Reservoir reached a maximum height of 90 feet, excluding the 10-foot-high reinforced concrete parapet wall that supplemented the 6,562 foot perimeter of the dike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taum_Sauk_Hydroelectric_Power_Station Denver: Federal Emergency Management Agency. The disaster killed an estimated 171,000 people[1] and 11 million people lost their homes. As a result, the pressure transducers’ ability to report accurate water levels was hindered, and lower water levels were being recorded than actually existed. Construite entre 1960 et 1963, elle était alors l'installation de pompage-turbinage la plus importante au monde. The inside of the reservoir was lined with shotcrete. 0000004523 00000 n

1 Corresponding author: rogersda@mst.edu; Tel: 1-573-341-6198; Fax: 1-573-341-6935. The Taum Sauk dam failure has been called the “Worst Man-Made Disaster in the history of Missouri”. Taum Sauk Dam (Missouri, 2005) Taum Sauk Pump Storage Plant was constructed by United Electric in Reynolds County, Missouri between 1960 and 1962 to provide a means of hydroelectric power generation during peak demand periods. Google … To their surprise, they noticed water pouring over one of the edges of the dike in a manner that resembled “Niagara Falls.” System operators immediately worked to manually disable the pumps and control the water level, averting disaster. 0000080378 00000 n
Later investigations into the failure revealed that overflow at the northwest section of the dike began at 5:09 A.M. Flow over the parapet wall of the Upper Reservoir during failure resembled that over a broad crested weir and initially fell on the three feet of outboard wall footing that surrounded the dike. In 1975 the failure of the Banqiao Reservoir Dam and other dams in Henan Province, China caused more casualties than any other dam failure in history. 0000081164 00000 n

Also, I'm not entirely comfortable with the term "dam" for the upper reservoir. The role of instru-mentation and monitoring of dams that have a safe exterior appear-ance and have been operating for decades has been brought to the forefront of dam safety programs. This paper will discuss the challenges encountered with the foundation at the Taum Sauk Upper Reservoir Dam and the Wyaralong Dam. 0000081692 00000 n
failure mechanisms associated with the dam foundation is critical to developing the final dam design. During the installation of the liner, the pump shutdown mechanisms were revised. The only good thing about this event is that nobody was killed. The new system consisted of three pressure transducers in high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes anchored to the concrete layer with a programmable logic controller to initiate shutdown if necessary. In November 2007, the state reached a $180 million settlement with Ameren. The Upper Reservoir was the first hydroelectric facility worldwide capable of remote control that did not require system operation personnel on site. 2277) followed operational and inspection procedures as provided by AmerenUE, inadequate attention was paid to dam safety considerations, Rizzo said.

ASDSO Annual Conference. On December 14, 2005, near the end of the morning pumping cycle, both the primary reservoir sensors and the “fail safe” Warrick probes failed to report the critical high water level in the reservoir because the probes had been incorrectly set at a higher elevation than the low point on the parapet. I'm for merging this page into the main article, but might wait a little while – it's convenient to collect information here that can then be thoughtfully merged there in a coherent manner. Until repairs on these deflected conduits could be properly executed, several precautionary measures were taken.

Case History Summary: Taum Sauk Storage Dam Failure, Lessons Learned, and the Rebuild. All rights reserved. The two original reversible pump-turbine units were each capable of generating 175 megawatts of power. By chance alone, loss of life was averted and only four people sustained injuries as a result of the Upper Reservoir failure. Taum Sauk began operation in 1963, with an upper reservoir built of earth atop a hill in Missouri. The Taum Sauk pumped storage plant is located in the St. Francois mountain region of the Missouri Ozarks approximately 90 miles (145 km) south of St. Louis near Taum Sauk under construction Taum Sauk completed Taum Sauk on Google Earth. This was further compounded by system programming that required both probes to trip the pumps off-line. Because no spillway system was incorporated into the original design, the dike was equipped with two float type actuator systems as primary and secondary pump shutdown systems to stop the facilities’ two pumps should the water in the reservoir exceed the desired level. (4) Watkins, C. & Rogers, J. New embankment dams should be designed with allowances for settlement. Their home, the superintendent’s office of Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park and Taum Sauk State Park, however, was obliterated by the cascading waters. There was no program in place to maintain calibration of the sensors against actual reservoir levels, and no program to evaluate the actual crest elevation around the reservoir rim with respect to shut down triggers within the system programming.
