  4. The Rjukan Chain

  5. Construction • Vemork 1911 • Såheim 1915 • Frøystul 1926 • Moflåt and Mæl 1952-57

  6. Why is it famous?

  7. History of the Vemork plant Among the worlds largest power plants in 1911. The Vemork factory in front of the power plant. From 1934 the factory produced heavy water

  8. The Vemork Raid(s) • Operations Grouse and Freshman, October 1942

  12. The Vemork Raid(s)

  13. The Vemork Raid(s)

  14. The Vemork Raid(s) • Bombing, November 1943 • 143 B-17's

  15. The Vemork Raid(s) • Sinking of D/F Rjukan • Timed bomb

  16. Back to the future… • Project initiated and planning startet in 2009. • Inspections and concrete sampling in 2011 and 2012. • Excecution of repair and construction works during production stops in the summer months of 2011-2014.

  17. Design basis • Operating time 20 years • Lowfocusonvisualappearance.

  20. Inlet Skarsfoss

  21. Inlet Skarsfoss - Damages Freezing/thawing and Cracking caused by alcali-aggregate reaction (AAR).

  22. Inlet Skarsfoss - assessment • Coating will not stop AAR • The cracking will have very small consequencesthe next 20 years

  23. Inlet Skarsfoss Original scope: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. • Polyureaoneverything. Resultingscopeafterinspection: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. • New structural elements.

  37. Dam Mæland

  38. Mæland - Bridge Damages: Rebar corrosion and freezing/thawing

  39. Mæland - Bridge Original scope: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. • Polyureacoatingontop. Resultingscopeafterinspection: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. • Polyureacoatingontop.

  40. Mæland - Pillars Damages: Cracking caused by AAR

  41. Mæland - Pillars assessment: • Small consequencesof cracking onverticalsurfaces. • Coatingwill not stop AAR • Possibleincreased risk ofdamages from freezing/thawingwithcoating. • Damages have littleimpactontheloadbearingcapasity.

  42. Mæland - Pillars Original scope: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. • Polyureacoating. Resultingscopeafterinspection: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. • Roof over horisontal surfaces. • Cleaning.

  43. Mæland - Walls Damages: Cracking caused by AAR

  44. Mæland - Walls assessment: • Small consequencesof cracking onverticalsurfaces. • Coatingwill not stop AAR • Possibleincreased risk ofdamages from freezing/thawingwithcoating. • Damages have littleimpactontheloadbearingcapasity.

  45. Mæland - Walls Original scope: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. • Polyureacoating. Resultingscopeafterinspection: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. • Cleaningwith ultra highpressure. Removingoldcoating.

  46. Mæland - Baseplate Damages: Cracking caused by AAR and Freezing/thawing

  47. Mæland - Baseplate assessment: • Risk of full disintegrationof baseplate withinthenext 20 years. • The baseplate is critical for thefunctionofthesealinginjection screen. • Repaircostswill be almost as high as theconstructioncostof a newslab.

  48. Mæland - Baseplate Original scope: • Mechanicalconcreterepairs. Resultingscopeafterinspection: • New Baseplate

  49. Mæland - Ducts Damages: Cracking caused by AAR

  50. Mæland - Ducts assessment: • Small consequencesof cracking onverticalsurfaces. • Coatingwill not stop AAR • Possibleincreased risk ofdamages from freezing/thawingwithcoating. • Damages have littleimpactontheloadbearingcapasity.
