- OPENING A SPILLWAY GATE AFTER YEARS OF BEING CLOSED
Opening a dam spillway radial gate after three years of closure involves a carefully planned and executed process. The first step is to assess the current reservoir conditions, including water levels, inflow, and weather forecasts. Engineers and dam operators must ensure that the opening of the radial gate will not result in flooding downstream or other adverse effects.
Once the assessment is complete and it is deemed safe to proceed, the radial gate can be opened gradually. This process typically involves hydraulic or mechanical systems to control the gate's movement. Opening the gate allows excess water to flow out of the reservoir, preventing overtopping of the dam and managing downstream water levels.
The reopening of the spillway after a prolonged closure may have various purposes, such as releasing accumulated sediment, restoring natural flow patterns, or addressing specific water management needs. Throughout the process, close monitoring and coordination are essential to ensure the safety of both the dam structure and the surrounding areas. Dam operators will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as necessary based on real-time data and observations.

Great video, please no more narrator
Your feedback is valuable. I'll follow the narrator less video rule . Thanks for watching
The fake AI narration is TERRIBLE and basically not even English. Just a bunch of words strung together. Most of it makes NO sense at all. DROP the cheap AI voiceovers.
"a harmonious interaction between human ingenuity, nudity and the envrionment" ? WHAT!!!!????
@@iandestructible1682 Lol, yep... I caught the nudity too in the subtitles. Also @ 3:31 "It's not like an American." Um, what? Gotta wonder about whoever they hired for that.
UA-cam's auto-generated cc was actually accurate and didn't generate either of those glitches.

@Kashmir_explorer786 did you write this nonsense?? 😂
Sometimes, silence is golden. Sometimes, subtitles are not needed.
'NUDITY'
Ya kinda ruined it
Yeah but they were SO accurate. 😂

Thats because you dont maintain optimal dam functionality. You must find your harmonious interaction between human ingenuity, nudity and the environment to fully expose the operation of your radial gate.

U r
My sediments exactly.
I see what you did there. Very punny.
Your gold also
That is SO bad, it's good. That's pretty much the definition of a pun. Well done. 👍
Dam funny
😂😂😂😂😂
I was going to be mad about the AI being unable to shut up. But I have to say, the subtitles screwing up near the end...the laugh was worth it.
"as it begins its gradual offense"
"it's not like an American"
"A harmonious interaction between human ingenuity, nudity and the environment"
This is the most hilarious captioning I've ever seen
I try to be harmonious like that too but my neighbors and local law enforcement disagree.
there is this ship repair channel i think they're in vietnam, the subtitles with captions on are bat shit crazy
This is me every morning after my first coffee. Open the gate and out with the sediment!!!
Like a dog. First thing in the morning. That's me.
Especially at 3:05
Hahahaha!
There's nothing quite like that free flow when you've been backed up for a few days.
"Human ingenuity, nudity and the environment." Nice.
It was a mistake in subtitles 😭
There were many many ridiculous major mistakes. Not just a few. It does make for good comedy relief though,
What's up with the weird subtitles?
It's a script and probably a computerized voice. "This process typically involves hydraulic or mechanical systems to control the gate's movement." If the reader had the specifications of THIS dam, she would already know which it is. Anyway, it looks like a fairly typical report to the public to improve the image of the facility and the departments that built and maintain it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neelum%E2%80%93Jhelum_Hydropower_Plant
Where is the nudity??????????????????
@@OzSpud72 4:12 is where you see mention of nudity. I wonder what the auto-translator thought it meant?
The subtitles make sense for the first 2 mins and then all hell breaks loose, after four minutes even the narration gets wild and it becomes every man for himself. A battle of wills between AI subtitles and AI narration in what surely must be a fight to the death.
It sounds like you're pointing out the limitations of a generic script or computerized voice in conveying specific details about a dam, especially when the reader might already have access to the specifications of that particular dam. Additionally, you suggest that the content appears to be part of a report aimed at improving the public image of the facility and the departments responsible for its construction and maintenance.
Indeed, when dealing with technical content, tailoring information to the specific context and audience is crucial. If the audience already possesses detailed knowledge, providing more specific and pertinent details would enhance the communication.
Reports aimed at the public often serve the purpose of transparency and education, highlighting the efforts put into construction, maintenance, and safety measures. Clear and accurate communication is essential in maintaining public trust and understanding, especially when dealing with critical infrastructure like dams.
If there are specific aspects of the report or the dam's operations that you find interesting or if you have further questions, feel free to share, and I can provide more targeted information.
Good video, I watched with sound off.
I'm glad to hear that you found the video interesting, even with the sound off. Videos can often convey information visually, making them accessible in various settings.

You spared yourself some annoying and pretentious bullshit. The ONLY interest in the stupid AI script was seeing what a has the AI subtitles made of it.
Water breaks through mud plug. Now how hard was that?
Silt compressed with the water load on it. Initially when the gate opening starts a little water crosses the silt. When the gate reaches 1800mm opening the water surges through the silt

This narrator makes me feel like I'm on the bridge of the USS Enterprise.
At least on the Enterprise it would be the pleasant voice of Majel Barrett.

Seems that clearing out sediment on a more regular basis would be wiser that waiting until there's a massive mud plug to clear.
We have 3 Spillway radial gates to release flood water through it. But last some years there was no flood in the river and these gates remained closed. We used flap gates at the top of the dam to release extra water Downstream in high flow season. In the video the gate is opened during the reservoir flushing to clean the silt built-up in the reservoir and behind the gates.

Yes you are right 👍. Due to gates bigger in size and we can only open it minimum 1000mm due to cavitation and Abrasion effects on Downstream ogee concrete that opening releases 500 cumecs water when the reservoir is at full level. It causes drop in reservoir level and shortage of water for power generation. if we keep this gate open below 1000mm it damages the ogee concrete as well as the steel liner and sill beam due to high velocity of water jet cuts the steel plates
maybe it should eat more fibre
@@Kashmir_explorer786 Why not patch the damaged concrete first?

An animation of a radial gate so we could understand what we were seeing would have been nice. This gals had about as much personality as a rock just reading the script in an almost monotone voice. Must be a school teacher boring her students to death .

You know the saying "They should've sent a poet"?
For this video, they did.
That was pretty dam interesting. It was dam slow but look at how much dam mud got built up over the dam 3 years. The dam narrator and the dam captions weren't on par with each other but the dam operation looked successful. Those dam engineers knew what they were doing and whoever was actually there watching up close and personal must have had a dam good time.
I'm very thankful for your feedback
I had to turn the volume down.

All that sediment in a garden would be awesome. The amount of nutrients built up in it would make the garden go crazy
Still, putting the incredibly bad AI translation of some users manual, one can wonder why this simple short maneuver is not done ounce every 6 months instead?
The surge wave must do a fair amount of damage though.
It seems like you're expressing a concern about the potential negative impact of an AI translation on a user manual, and you're also wondering why a specific maneuver is not performed more frequently, perhaps every six months. Additionally, you mention the potential damage caused by a surge wave.
In the context of user manuals, accurate and clear translations are crucial to ensure users understand instructions properly. If there's an issue with the quality of an AI translation, it could lead to confusion or misunderstandings.
Regarding the maneuver done every six months, the frequency of such activities is typically determined by various factors, including engineering recommendations, maintenance schedules, and the specific requirements of the system or equipment involved. It's possible that performing the maneuver more frequently might not be necessary or could be logistically challenging.
If you have more specific details or questions about the maneuver, surge waves, or any related topic, feel free to provide additional information so that I can offer a more targeted response.
Well I really did not want to discuss a subject I have little to no interest or experience with, Yet firstly the translation commentary was repeating and therefore the quality and content was not taken seriously. Best to watch the final result at least ounce before posting.
Secondly, my reference to the frequency of the flushing of sediment was simply based on what we could see. Huge amounts of what we call "Slip" in pottery that has to end up somewhere.
Yet on seeing the incredible amount left in the dam itself, flushing ounce a week would never be enough. The amount was taking up half of the total volume of the dam! I put that down to using the wrong materials or simply that the dam is too old to be fixed.@@Kashmir_explorer786
You’re right. Kill fish I’m sure.
Bro is chatgpt
I *definitely* recommend a controlled and gradual release if you suspect a sediment load has accumulated behind your gate!
Can you imagine the fitst Dam to do this not realizing how much sediment had built up! They'd keep raising the gates until water started flowing freely but it'd never get to that point once the sediment cleared and the explosion of water overwhelmed the structure! Kinda scary how much power was behind that sediment.
Sediment removal is carried out in this way in a run of river Hydropower Dam. Empty and refilling of the reservoir takes only a few days.
I loved the narration. It reminds me of late 90s/early 2000s shooter games.
Hey @1992jamo! That's a cool comparison, and I appreciate the nostalgic vibes. If my narration brought back memories of those classic games, then mission accomplished!
I remember damming up the creek over the backyard fence after breakfast (shredded wheat) and then opening the flood gates when mom called me in for lunch (peanut butter and banana, I think), I don't remember much of a backlog of sediment having built up in that interim.
Are you... Elvis??

As an engineer, I witnessed a 5-minute, full-open test of a large radial gate. The erosion was so powerful it excavated at least ten feet into the rock downstream. In this video, when I saw the condition of the concrete on the spillway ogee, I was alarmed by what would happen if they opened the gate to as little as three feet. Fortunately, they kept the opening height down to inches. It might have been disastrous otherwise.
When it remains opens less than 1m it causes erosion in concrete Downstream

Can you imagine the mess downstream :o
It settles Downstream in the river. During high flow it washed out to mega dam reservoir

QUESTION: Whats up with that huge crosswise fracture (0:15) in the spillway right below the Radial Gate ? That cannot be good.
Never hire a robot to do a human job..........like reading.
This is yet another "professor speak" AI presentation where the word harmonious gets linked to every synonym in the English language. This is a very interesting subject but would be best left to more visual and less verbal presentation.

"inch open" is a phrase which means to open slowly
@@Wailwulf Then why didn't it open to 73.6 inches?
@@L8nitedave It did, but it did not open immediately to 73 inches, it opened slowly, by a number of minutes. So it opened by inches at a time, or you could say it opened inch by inch, or you could say it inched open...
