Claytor Dam (original) (raw)
The Claytor Dam is a gravity dam on the New River in Pulaski County, Virginia, United States. It is also located about 2.5 mi (4.0 km) south of Radford. It is named after William Graham Claytor, then vice president of Appalachian Power Company (APC), who was instrumental in the dam's construction. APC is now a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP) who owns the dam. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 75 MW power station. Its reservoir, Claytor Lake, is also used for recreation. The dam was constructed and its power station commissioned in 1939. It received its first license in 1943. It is 1,142 ft (348 m) long and 145 ft (44 m) tall. It stores a reservoir with a capacity of 225,000 acre⋅ft (278,000,000 m3). The reservoir covers 4,472 acr

Використовує ресурс із Нью-Рівер, лівої твірної річки Kanawha, котра впадає ліворуч до Огайо (велика ліва притока Міссісіпі). В межах проекту річку перекрили бетонною гравітаційною греблею висотою від тальвегу 37 метрів (від підошви фундаменту — 42 метри), довжиною 351 метр та товщиною по основі 33 метри, яка потребувала 191 тис. м3 матеріалу. Вона утримує витягнуте по долині Нью-Рівер на 35 км водосховище з площею поверхні 18,1 км2 та об'ємом 286 млн м3. Через водоводи діаметром по 4,9 метра ресурс подається до пригреблевого машинного залу, обладнаного чотирма турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 18,8 МВт. (uk) |
