The Tablachaca Dam slide No 5 problem

Slide No 5 is an ancient slide of about 13 million m3 located in Peru upstream upstream of the Tablachaca dam, the main structure of the Mantaro Hydroelectric Plant; whose installed capacity comprises 50% of the country's total capacity. In February 1982 the slide movements accelerated alarmingly, prompting Electroperu to decide to undertake emergency stabilization works simultaneously with the complementary studies and investigations. At present, slide movements have decreased significantly. -from Author
