Abstract

A 73 m-high RCC dam will be the main element of the Toker River water supply project in Asmara, Eritrea. Toker dam will be the first RCC dam in Sub-Saharan Africa outside South Africa. The use of RCC was shown to be the most economical solution and enabled significant time savings to be made compared with other options.
