Arkhangelsk, kimberlite pipe Leningradskaya-3
Geosurvey for identifying karst cavities
Goals & Problems
The project aims to conduct a thorough investigation, delving 30-40 meters deep into the geological profile. The primary objectives include identifying karst cavities within carbonate rocks of the Carboniferous era beneath the axis of the dam under construction. Additionally, the survey will scrutinize the geological structure at the base of the reservoir dam near the kimberlite pipe quarry of Arkhangelsk to pinpoint the causes of potential leaks.
Result
The outcome of the project reveals a comprehensive understanding of the geological composition, successfully mapping karst formations in the Carboniferous rocks beneath the dam axis. The identification of a paleochannel, filled with coarse-grained sedimentary rocks at the dam's base, elucidates the drainage of groundwater and leakage issues from the reservoir, providing crucial insights for mitigation.
Value for client
The project delivers invaluable insights for the client by not only uncovering potential risks related to karst formations and paleochannels but also offering a strategic understanding of the geological structure. This information serves as a foundation for targeted interventions, enabling the client to address drainage and leakage issues effectively during the construction of the dam, ensuring the long-term integrity and safety of the water reservoir.
