 GENERAL CLASSIFICATION
I - Heading-up structures Structures those used to control water flow quantity (discharge) and or levels (head) as,

1- Dames, store and control water levels/discharge

ASWAN DAM & HIGH ASWAN DAM

ASWAN DAM

HIGH ASWAN DAM

2- Regulators, control discharge / water levels

3- Weirs, control water levels / discharge

10

4- Escapes, control water levels

Circular weir tail escape

11

Dam Spillway

Spillway of Dam

12

5- Pump Stations, control water levels /discharge

Suction side of pump station

Pump house

Delivery side of pump station

II Crossing Structures Structures those used to facilitate crossing of waterways with waterways and/or roadways as,
1- Bridge / Culvert, waterway with roadway

RC Pipe Culvert

RC Bridge of 20m span

RC Footpath Bridge of 18m span

IV Water Training Structures They are not a structures but they are works applied as a protection, precaution, maintenance or rehabilitation works as Pitching, Lining and Dikes

Lining at DS of pump station

Pitching at US of pump station

22

Dike : is an embankment dam used as a protection against flooding, but it doesnt wet all the year
