Lecture Description
The Mosul Dam, on the Tigris River, is the largest dam in Iraq
and provides a significant percentage of water for the country.
It was constructed on problematic karst geology. The project
was an international effort by the governments of Iraq, Italy
and the U.S. The risk analysis of Mosul Dam showed that up to
1.5 million citizens would be impacted by a catastrophic
failure of the dam. This gave it the highest-risk profile of any
dam in the world. This context forged the international
partnership needed to rapidly address the situation. The
initial challenges included public reluctance to accept the
risk posed by the dam, financing a project of this scope,
establishing a secure area to execute the works, awarding a
contract to Italian firm, Trevi, and completing a bilateral
agreement to commission the USACE as the project engineer.
From February 2015 to June 2019, emergency repairs were
executed to reduce risk of failure.
