The Scope of Implementation on the Trojena Dams Project
The implementation of the Trojena Dams project entails the construction of three lakes. The second dam, the kidney-shaped dam, will be connected to the nearby Lake Village by an underwater tunnel. Furthermore, it will be surrounded by the Enchanted Forest, the landscaping, and other attractions within the dam. The third dam will be 65 meters high and 490 meters long at its crest. It will also be constructed using 4.15 million cubic meters of rockfill.
The works also include the lakebed line and the foundations for the Bow Building. The Bow Building is a concrete structure at the end of the lake that will overhang the valley below and entail a hotel. Once completed, the Enchanted Forest will be one of the attraction sites that the dam landscape will be able to offer. Furthermore, the three dams are expected to create the central lake at the Trojena Mountains resort, which is hosting the 2029 Winter Asian Games.
