Dibang Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Lower Dibang Valley, India.
Dibang Dam is a planned hydroelectric facility on the Dibang River in Lower Dibang Valley. The project involves constructing a concrete dam structure that will hold water for power generation through turbine systems.
The project began with groundbreaking in 2008 but faced long delays waiting for environmental approvals. Official clearance was granted in 2019, finally allowing construction work to proceed.
The development of Dibang Dam requires careful consideration regarding the displacement and livelihood changes for the Idu Mishmi tribal communities.
Access is challenging due to the remote mountainous location, so plan your route carefully. Conditions vary by season and weather, affecting how easily you can visit the construction area.
The design incorporates roller-compacted concrete, an advanced construction technique allowing rapid placement of large quantities. This method is meant to showcase massive engineering execution in a compressed timeframe.
