Solsif Maroc’s teams are in charge of the consolidation and the cut-off walls of this new structure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> The M\u2019dez dam<\/a> is located on Lake Sebou, 58 km southeast of the town of Sefrou, in the vicinity of the town of Fez. This 109-m high liner embankment dam, and with a capacity of 700 million m3<\/sup>, will permit, as part of the preservation of the Saiss plain, to capture water resources from surplus areas and then redistribute water to areas under development or experiencing a rainfall deficit.<\/p>\n This is why, in 2017, the Moroccan Ministry of Equipment called on Solsif Maroc<\/a> (a subsidiary of Soletanche Bachy) to carry out the consolidation and cut-off walls work on this large-scale structure, which is essential for the proper development of the region.<\/p>\n For this purpose, Solsif Maroc will have to drill 70,000 ml and 14,000 m3<\/sup>\u00a0of grout<\/a>.<\/p>\n We are currently midway, with the completion of the consolidation work. Next step, start work on the cut-off wall and underground clamping.<\/p>\n We are very pleased to be involved in the development of this structure and we hope this is a first step towards new projects of this magnitude.<\/p>\n The project is scheduled to end in mid-2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>
