Project requirements
Nam Theun 1 HPP will be the highest RCC curved gravity dam in Laos PDR as of today. The Concrete volume of the Main RCC dam is expected to be close to 4 million m3. Sika Thailand has been active in this project since the beginning of the EW2 (Early Work 2) by supplying shotcrete admixtures to Right Tunnelling (Thai) from November 2015 until January 2017 to build the Diversion Tunnel.
Sika solution
Sika Thailand proposed the supply of the main concrete admixtures by the flexibag concept. This accepted as such concept besides to be economical, limits the waste of emptied packing on site. Sika Thailand secured the supply of special and high end waterstops from Sika Greenstreak and Sika Germany (Tricosal) and also supply other Sika product for finishing work such as Sika Flooring, Refurbishment ,and Sealing & Bonding products.
