THE SITE ... THE DAM



Can-asujan Dam located in the Municipality of Carcar, 40 kilometers south of Cebu City, is part of a small reservoir irrigation system that will directly benefit about 800 farmer- families. It is a "Faced, Symmetrical Hardfill Dam" (roller compacted soil/rock and cement mixture). The height of the dam is 25 meters. This type of dam combines the construction ease of an earth embankment dam with the resilience to overtopping of a concrete dam. The dam is resistance to earthquake/seismic activity and its simple construction design resulted in big savings in construction costs. Can-asujan Hardfill Dam is the second highest to be built anywhere in the world and is the first to be built in Asia.
