The Toker Dam Project

The dam is located in the highlands of Eritrea/Africa,
approx. 20 km north east from Asmara, the capital of
Eritrea, in the stream of two seasonal rivers, Toker
River and Menkai River.
Due to two rainy seasons per year the water level of
these rivers varies a lot. In order to have a balanced
water supply for the capital, the construction of the
Toker River Water Supply was decided.
Via pipeline the reservoir is to be connected with a
existing water treatment plant.
To ensure the dam against underflow, a grouting
curtain has to be performed.
