Overview of Nam Ngiep 1, including the highest RCC dam in Laos

Nam Ngiep 1 had been identified by the Lao Government as a priority project, which will bring substantial economic benefits to the country, and in particular enhance social development in Bolikhamxay province. This paper reviews the design of the project, construction challenges and achievements to date, and some innovative technology adopted on site. Construction began in 2015, and the reservoir, to be impounded by the country’s highest RCC dam, is scheduled for 2018.
