Context
One of the tallest dams in Türkiye: a 275 m double-curvature thin concrete arch dam with a hydropower plant. Roads and access tunnels with a total length of 70 km were built to replace the routes the reservoir would flood. I joined when the dam body stood at 85 m; dam and tunnel works ran in parallel with many subcontractors on site.
My role
As technical office lead I was responsible for payments, budgeting and cost control on the dam and access tunnel projects.
What I did
- Prepared interim payment applications to the employer
- Prepared and checked subcontractor payment applications
- Budgeting and cost control
- BOQ work
- Comparative take-offs: contract quantities against executed quantities
