Kavşak Bendi Dam, Hydroelectric power station and gravity dam in Adana Province, Turkey
The Kavşak Bendi Dam spans 186 meters in length across the Seyhan River, featuring a concrete structure that rises 88 meters from its foundation point.
The construction of this power infrastructure began in 2008, with the first generator starting operations in 2013 and complete activation of all units by April 2014.
The facility represents Turkey's dedication to renewable energy development, contributing to the nation's power independence through local engineering and construction expertise.
Three Francis turbines, each rated at 59 megawatts, generate electricity by utilizing water directed through a 2.5-kilometer downstream channel to the power station.
The dam's reservoir holds 30 million cubic meters of water and manages flow through a controlled spillway system capable of handling 5,053 cubic meters per second.
