The proposed Construction of Instream Earth-Filled Dam for KZN Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, at ERF No. 1069, Kokstad Research Station

The proposed development of the instream earth-filled dam will entail the following features:
-In-channel dam to un-named stream
-Area occupied by a dam is 1.6ha
-Two Spillways (Spillway A= Levelled Spillway & B= Natural Spillway):
oLevelled spillway A width of 35.8m and Freeboard of 1,4 m
o Natural spillway B width of 89.6m
-Distance overland flow is 80m
-Core trench width of 14.1m
- Core Trench Volume of 808. 69m3
-Base Water Side of 27.18m
- Base Dry Side of 18.62m
-Earth banks height of 8.56m
-Bank Volume of 13 752.43m3
-Total pitching of 4 746,04m2 (Pitching of crest, Upstream Stone Pitching, Downstream Stone Pitching).

The project entails construction of 200m(600mmø) abstraction pipeline (dam outlet pipeline) which will join the existing pipeline at (30°30'41.82"S, 29°25'15.14"E) coming from raw water reservoir to Kokstad Research Station WTW.
