Gariep
Dam's Wall:
The
giant Gariep Dam, completed in 1971, was
mainly built for generating hydro-electric
power and irrigation. It is the largest
dam in South Africa, with a shoreline of
about 435 km, and the dam wall is 88m high
and 914m long.
The
huge amount of 1.73 million cubic meters
of cement was used during the building of
the dam wall. Guided tours through the dam
wall includes an interesting slide show
in its well equipped audiovisual room, as
well as a walk through the 13.2km of tunnels
and more than a thousand steps that leads
to its foundation on the Orange River.
