Scale models are to quantify the spillway and check that design. That can't be done purely on paper, like most of the rest of the design. Brilliant, haven't seen a model on site before; usually at one of the university engineering departments.
Praise Jesus, i have been praying specifically for the area of Eastern Cape to receive rain over the last year roughly.... I'm from p.e but have lived in England for almost 20 years but I'm going home when the kids are abit more grown up!....Praise Jesus....great news for all surrounding areas✝️
Brilliant. Had no idea that was a scale model of the dam. Went down there last year and looked at this structure... great, peaceful little video. Thanks Jors
Middag Jors. Het jy dalk meer inligting omtrent to Ovis-tonnel? Kry hierdie dam water vanuit die Oranjerivier? Ek sal nogal daarvan hou om bietjie meer te leer hieroor.
Ja ek het inligting , die Gamtoos en Grootrivier kry nie uit die Oranje rivier nie, dit was voorheen beplan , maar die besluit is later geneem dat daar nie genoeg water is om die projek te regverdig nie. Ek gaan nog meer videos maak oor die projekteen sal later meer inligting deel.
As ek dit nie mis het nie kry dit water uit die Kouga revier. Ek was in 1984 in die Kouga kloof af tot waar die Ferreras aan die begin van die kloof gebly het. Daar het die Ragels revier n syloop van die Kouga begin. Dit was ñ belewenis. Die natuur wonder skoon en die mense opreg.
Very interesting scale model - show this to kids to teach them how pressure works - most adults even would think the dam wall is too thin "to keep back so much water".
It could certainly do with some TLC, but considering it has fulfilled its purpose some 50 plus years ago it is in not too bad condition. I do think a bit more could be made of it though, maybe we should petition the Irrigation Board to make a monument out of it.
As a youngster I accompanied my father on a visit by the SAICE local PE branch to the site. The dam was under construction and the model was demonstrated to the bunch of engineers on that visit. One purpose was to study the optimal way to split the water cascading over the spillway. Without splitters the sheet of cascading water was unstable and made a huge flutering curtain of water
The study of the spillway was also what I understood the purpose of the model was. I have not heard about the flutter of the stream, but hat could possibly have created vibrations in the dam.
Huge relief to have so much water in the dam again. I am not in PE but have friends there. At least the possibility of water wars is averted for now! Also a lot of that water in the dam was donated by my Northern hills! 😁😁😁😁
Dankie Jos, dat jy dit met ons deel.. Ekt nooit besef daar is sulke mooi plekke in S A in.. Dis ongelooflik... Die dam, sluise, en sommer alles... Eks van Pretoria 🎉🎉🎉Geseen in alles wat jy doen 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks very much Jors. Most interesting. What a beautiful sight to see so much water in the dam.
Dankie Jors. Baie interessant die model. Is daar ander damme wat ook so iets het?
Ek glo so.

Hi Jors
Thanks for that. What a wonderful sight. You are so fortunate to be able to spend time with your dad.
Travel safely.
This is good to see. Quite an engineering skill.Salute.
Lovely to see the level of the water in the dam. Onwards and upwards....
Ah, the era where South Africa had real engineers.

Interesting. Dig the small test dam.
Dankie. Dit was nou baie interessant.

The dam is a cool place to walk around.
That Scale Model is fascinating.

Me too

Mooi Man👏👏👏👏
Thanks. In the earlier footage there's a tunnel. Does it lead onto the dam wall? It seems a bit strange to me.
There are several tunnels into the wall with instruments measuring movement in the concrete
@@JorsMalan Thanks. The one I'm referring to is at 0:44. It seems large enough for a vehicle. It seems to give access to the wall?
Very interesting scale model - show this to kids to teach them how pressure works - most adults even would think the dam wall is too thin "to keep back so much water".
I saw that dam full many years ago. Sad to see it so empty.
That dam model is very cool ,thank you beautiful place nice to see a baboon there thanks you .
Fascinating to see the model on site!
Model dam ...falling to pieces.... lack of maintenance ...again ???
It could certainly do with some TLC, but considering it has fulfilled its purpose some 50 plus years ago it is in not too bad condition. I do think a bit more could be made of it though, maybe we should petition the Irrigation Board to make a monument out of it.
Dankie Jors. En jou pa is ook seker bly jy het kom kuier.
Thanks Jors. The first time I saw the scale model of the dam. Blessings.

Grootword wêreld. Dankie Jors.
Haloo Jors...as daai dam darem net kon vol wees ne? Jy ry lekker rond?
Wye draaie.
Fascinating, thanks!
Thanx, old memories came back. I grew up in Eastern Cape, and my family visited regularly to follow the progress while the dam was being build.
Thank you for very informative videos. Subscribing for a lot more. Dankie :)
I paddled with friends on the dam several years ago when it was 100% full. Memorable!
Great to see you Jors, your updates are important.

so good to see reasonable volumes of water and climbing in what was an empty dam a few months ago. thanks for sharing
Bly vir die goeie nuus vir almal wat afhanklik is . Hoop daar kom nog toevloeie voor die einde van die seisoen
Very insightful, thank you.
Ag dis fantasties, baie dankie vir die video!
Mnr malan you have a great eye and talent dont stop
Ou ou boereplanne
Ek wonder nou of daar nog sulke modelle bestaan.
Thank for the update😊❤
Very interesting !
😎
Puik video Jors
Dankie.
Maar nog laag😅
Ja, hy moet nog klim.
Mooi konstruksie
Ja, en eintlik in nog goeie toestand.
Those hills look so like southern California. They have a lot of dams too. The shape of this dam is interesti- like a thin clamshell.
