Balambano is the name of a large dam on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia . The dam dams Larona , the largest river on the island, and was built to supply a nickel smelter owned by the mining company PT Inco with electricity from hydropower. It is located near the village of Balambano, 30 km southwest of Soroako and northwest of the Batubesi dam on Lake Towuti.
The barrier structure is a weight dam made of rolled concrete (RCC, roller compacted concrete). The dam was built by Italian and Austrian companies. Its height is 95 m, but this is also given as 90 or 92 m. On the water side , it is sealed with a PVC film.
The reservoir is one of the largest in Southeast Asia. Only the Three Gorges Reservoir , the Sanmenxia Dam and the Wuluwati Dam , all three in China, are larger in terms of their storage space.
The hydropower plant is supplied via two pressure pipelines with a diameter of 5 m. The two Francis turbines have a total capacity of 140 MW (other information: 137 MW). In the middle of the dam is the flood relief with a 38 m wide overflow.
