<p>The hydroelectric dam is called Boguchany because back in 1965 they decided that Boguchany Village was the best dam location, but in 1971 they discovered the city of Kodinsk which was even better. So, the dam site was changed but the name was decided to be preserved. <em><br />

<p>From far away, you can see that the scope of work is really huge.</p>

<p>Starting-up the Boguchany hydroelectric dam will become a basis for economic development of the region.</p>
<p><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112011/boguchanydam/boguchanydamphotos-15.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The Boguchany hydroelectric dam will power several industrial enterprises, including the Boguchany Aluminium Smelter which is at present under construction too (to be launched in 2013).</p>
<p><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112011/boguchanydam/boguchanydamphotos-16.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In fact, the construction was frozen for 13 years.</p>
<p><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112011/boguchanydam/boguchanydamphotos-17.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The hydroelectric dam consists of a concrete gravity dam (hight: 96 m; length: 828.7 m) and an embarkment dam (hight: 77m; length: 1861.3 m).</p>

<p>On the 1st of May, 2012, they are going to fill the reservoir with water.</p>

<p>A machine hall.</p>
<p><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112011/boguchanydam/boguchanydamphotos-26.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>They plan to start up first hydraulic units in the second quarter of 2012.</p>

<p>The turbines of the Boguchany hydroelectric dam are the largest and heaviest turbines produced in Russia during the past decade (the diameter of the rotor wheel is 7.86 m).</p>

<p>KRUE 220 kV.</p>
<p><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112011/boguchanydam/boguchanydamphotos-44.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>It is more environmentally safe, light and easy to assemble and service.</p>

<p>They built a fire department just one kilometer away from the hydroelectric dam.</p>
<p><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112011/boguchanydam/boguchanydamphotos-47.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Apart from the dam, it serves neighbouring villages and enterprises.</p>
<p><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112011/boguchanydam/boguchanydamphotos-48.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Specially for the new fire department, they purchased a whole fleet of new fire-fighting vehicles.</p>
