        LNEC makes technical visit to Cuamba dam

        28 October 2024


        As part of LNEC's continued support to Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) with regard to the safety of the dams under its management, a specialist inspection visit to the Cuamba Dam was carried out, in which LNEC researcher João Manso participated in collaboration with EDM technicians.


        During the inspection, several components of the dam were analyzed, more specifically the landfill body, the spillway area, and the bottom discharge and water intake outlets.


        This visit also served to check the current state of the dam, five years after the passage of Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, which caused significant damage to several infrastructures in the country and led to rehabilitation interventions in several areas of the project.


        Similar inspections of Chicamba, Mavuzi, and Lichinga dams, also in Mozambique are scheduled for the second half of 2025.
