Introduction / Objectives

• Identification of flow rates, water depths and velocities for 10 to 10,000 year

return period floods including adjacent Phase 1 and Phase 2

• Evaluation of the duration of water impoundment and the associated risks to

the permanent and temporary facilities

• Recommendations regarding engineering / construction solutions based on

found field conditions and hydrological modelling with regards to scour risk, local site management (temporal/permanent facilities), and flood protection

• Recommendations for flood protection during construction
• Evaluation of potential diversion of wadi flow, road crossings and flow around

Evaporation Pond

• Check lateral seepage/ponding effect to CPF/CPF extension
• General requirements for effective local site management along with expert

recommendations to mitigate involved uncertainties

• Modelling Scenario 1: In situ Situation: 10, 50, 100, and 10,000 years
• Modelling Scenario 2: Construction Phase of CPF2: 10 and 50 years
• Modelling Scenario 3: CPF2 Construction Finished with Camp: 100 and 10,000 years
• Modelling Scenario 4: CPF2 Construction Finished without Camp: 10, 50, 100 and

10,000 years

• Modelling Scenario 5: CPF2 Construction Finished without Camp and with Potential

Bund Failure: only 10,000 years

1. Depending on the scenario surface flow conditions were estimated for a different number of flood events with a return period between 10 and 10,000 years. 2. For all scenarios and all estimated flood events the results were analyzed: water depths, maximum water level, velocities and scour risk. 3. The potential seepage effect on the CPF vehicle dam and the bund wall around the evaporation pond for all relevant was investigated. 4. Results of no single scenario indicate that seepage line hits the surface level at related dams or ground levels of the . Application of the larger flood event results in a higher seepage line. 5. Potential pounding effects near evaporation pond facility -> STABILITY ANALYSIS.

6. Mitigation option: It was checked whether a suitable protection against flooding can be achieved with the extension of the CPF bund in western direction to the camp bund and the diversion of the water west of the camp. The necessary crest height of the bund to prevent flooding up to the 10,000 year event and to retain the volume of the hydrograph was identified. To discharge the water in 100 year event into neighboring catchments or into the wadi south of the Evaporation pond, a channel is necessary. The channel must cross the watershed boundary west of the camp. This is not suitable (channel length 3 km, channel width up to 25 m and depth up to 5 m, depending on detailed design). Therefore, such solution was not pursued. 7. After grading of the CPF2 area the two years construction phase of the CPF2 starts. Therefore, the investigation was performed only for a 10 and 50 year event. For both events no additional flood protection measures for the CPF2 are required although a protection dam between CPF1 and construction area CPF2 will not be installed. 8. Within all scenarios the camp is flooded due to an opening in the security bund at the eastern boundary. The width of the gap is 20 m. To avoid this effect the provision of a temporary (mobile) flood protection scheme (e.g. big bags) is suggested. 9. For a flood event with return period of 10,000 years the camp bund is partially also

• verflowed. Because the camp doesn’t require a flood protection level of 10,000 years

no measures are necessary.
