Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project (KDRP)

Objectif officiel

The Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project is urgently required to avoid a potential emergency situation. The most recent dam safety assessment completed in 2010 has identified the proposed measures as Category I interventions requiring immediate attention. Given the large reservoir capacity (181 km3) a possible catastrophic failure of the dam would result in devastating regional flooding, significant loss of human life, and unprecedented economic damage downstream in the Zambezi River, with an estimated 3 million people living in the potential impact area and the economic value of assets at risk in excess of US$8 billion. It is suggested that Sweden, through Sida, form part of an Agreement with the World Bank to support the Zambezi River Authority in implementing the Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project. Swedish support would be subject to the Board of the World Bank approving to the project. The estimated cost of rehabilitation the Kariba Dam is $US294.2m with the proposed financing as follows: 1. European Development Fund - US$100 (grant) 2.African Development Bank - US$ 75 ( combination of grant and loan) 3. World Bank - US$75 (loan) 3. Sweden - 200m SEK (grant) 4. Zambezi River Authority - US$ 19.2m The Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project will assist ZRA in financing implementation and oversight of the three components required for the rehabilitation of the Kariba Dam. The three components are as follows: Component 1: Institutional Project Support The objective of this component is to provide the necessary support to assist the Zambezi River Authority in securing the long-term safety and reliability of the Kariba Dam Hydro-Electric Scheme. This component would be co-financed by IDA, the African Development Bank and the European Development Fund through a combination of joint co-financing and parallel co-financing of individual activities. Activities to be financed include: (i) Technical Services and Supervision Consultant; (ii) Dam Break Analysis; (iii) Panel of Experts; (iv) Dispute Adjudication Board; (v) Environmental and Social Assessment; (vi) Audits and Evaluations; and, (vii) Visibility & Communications. Component 2: Plunge Pool Reshaping The objective of this component is to stabilize the plunge pool and prevent further scouring, particularly along the weak fault / seam zone towards the dam foundations. The Plunge Pool has progressively widened and deepened vertically to create an 80m deep scour hole in the bedrock immediately downstream of the dam foundations. This component would be financed by the European Development Fund (EDF11). Activities to be financed include: (i) Plunge Pool Reshaping Civil Works; (ii) Blasting Operations Monitoring Consultant; and, (iii) a Technical Audit Consultant. . Component 3: Spillway Refurbishment The objective of this component is to improve the operation and prevent potential failure of the spillway control facility. Advanced deterioration of the built-in structures and lack of sufficient maintenance have l
