In the core of the power plant dam, 6 types of basic construction materials are laid layer by layer in accordance with the technology, and the quality of the work is checked daily.

Currently, the laying of materials, including alumina and filters in the core of the dam at the level of 1013 meters above the sea level is going on. The projected volume of alumina in the core of the dam is 7.5 million cubic meters, and more than 561 thousand cubic meters have been laid to date.

A total of 21 million cubic meters of various construction materials have been laid in the core area of the dam during the year.

In a day, on average, the dam of the power plant is raised about 50 centimeters.

This year, the water level in the reservoir has been raised by 5 meters and is equal to 1075 meters.

The design height of the Rogun Dam is 335 meters, which is the highest dam of its kind in the world.

The layers near the mountain are reinforced according to the technological requirements. In the area of the core of the dam, cementing and reinforcement works on the left and right sides of the mountain are ongoing up to the level of 1110 meters with 5093 wells, 1800 wells have been drilled and cemented.
