Abstract
- The article reports on the near completion of the Foz do Chapecó hydroelectric plant in Brazil. The final phase of the project, a rockfill dam, was completed in April 2010. Asphalt, instead of clay, was used as the main component of the sealing nucleus. According to Miguel Zerbini, technical director of Chapecó Energia, asphalt allows for faster construction.
