Abstract

Dangerous exogenous geological processes in the area of ​​the main structures of the Kambarata HPP-1 (KHPP-1) under construction on the Naryn River include gravitational mass displacements on slopes in the form of a one-time collapse and sliding of rocks (rock falls, landslides, rockfalls, failures, scree). When filling the reservoir, the activity of landslides and rockfalls may increase. Such grandiose landslides can initiate multi-stage (cascade) geo-catastrophes, which can cause a violation of the operating mode of the hydraulic structures of the Naryn cascade of hydroelectric power plants. This article provides updated assessments of geological risks in the area of ​​the main structures of the Kambaratinskaya HPP-1, taking into account the recently approved feasibility study (FS).
