If you’ve read here over the past few months then you should understand why I keep coming back to the subject of Mosul Dam. Today we’re all going to look at some information and images left by a very helpful commenter. I've added additional info and will relink all previous posts regarding Mosul Dam
AnonymousMay 19, 2016 at 4:21 PMIt almost appears as if the Mosul dam is being prepared for demolition as the dam's concrete footwall has been reduced to rubble and the concrete erosion caps cut into pieces in recent months.
This image is from Time.com
An employee operates an excavator as he works at strengthening the Mosul Dam on the Tigris River, around 50km north of Mosul, Iraq, March 3, 2016.
Would it "strengthen" the dam to remove the concrete at it's base? I don't see how it would? Watch the video at VOA as the concrete is demolished- This is the low water level side of the dam.Behind that wall is the water being held back- To the left we see what appears to be the power generating operation? (If I'm understand this correctly?) ( I can't embed the video, so go to the link. Can't say why, but, it just won't show) You can see the concrete demolition taking place very briefly- as the talking head claims repairs are being done. Except repairs cannot be taking place, because the "repair" contract was only finalized a very short time ago and work camps were in the process of being set up.
AnonymousMay 19, 2016 at 8:43 PMHere's a monkey running the torch cable to cut the rebar and VOA showing the demo job in progress.http://media.guim.co.uk/57e0ccdeb4c22d0441811dec569dc482f0b20c13/0_159_… is the main body of the dam being drilled from the crest of the dam (wrong place unless they are blast holes) in February 2016 but it sure isn't TREVI and I don't see any grout trucks or pumps anywhere. Besides they said the grout facility was in Mosul and under ISIS control.http://townhall.com/news/world/2016/02/09/us-army-study-iraqs-mosul-dam… is the proper place to grout the Mosul dam, namely the grouting gallery built inside the dam at the base expressly for that purpose.http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/03/iraq-mosul-dam-bursts-warning-eva…
Yet, another image: The Grouting Tunnel- grouting gallery referenced by commenterEmployees are working to strengthen the Mosul Dam in northern Iraq [Azad Lashkari/Reuters] The Mosul Dam was built with a grouting tunnel specifically because of the geology of the area (gypsum content)
"The dam was built by an Italian-German consortium and started operating in 1986. Because of the high proportion of gypsum in the area, the construction included a grouting tunnel to allow almost constant injection of cement and drilling mud into crevices in the base that are widened by the water flowing through them"
If we understand that regular maintenance of the dam, as with any dam, would be absolutely required! We then understand why the dam would be constructed with this grouting tunnel The grouting tunnel, was a design feature, built into the tunnel to specifically address the maintenance that was required. This was not incompetence or corruption. As a matter of fact this was competent engineering considering the locale. This was what had to be done, given the geological base/location for the dam. Recall in a previous post the times the maintenance of the dam fell to the wayside?1-When the US applied harsh sanctions on the US. (the Iraqis came up with an alternative solution to keep the dam maintained)2-When the US attacked Iraq3- Allegedly for two weeks in 2014 when "ISIS" took control of the dam two years ago- Since that time the dam has been in NATO/Kurdish handsSince we now know the grouting tunnel is THE way to maintain the dam- what is going on in the image below?Repairs? That's the claim? But the Italian engineering firm isn't at work yet. So, what are we really looking at?
AnonymousMay 19, 2016 at 4:21 PM Since a 'culprit' must be blamed perhaps this unusual and timely earthquake risk assessment released in November of 2015 could shed some light.http://www.slideshare.net/iJTRAEditor/difficulty-of-predicting-earthqua…
November 2015- Yup, a timely assessment!Difficulty of Predicting Earthquakes in Mosul DamHave a look at that information. November 2015 earthquake assessment? If you want to go down a rabbit hole then we can talk about the Assyrians. I've mentioned this before. The followers of Judaism have a biblical grudge with the Assyrians. And that area of Iraq was the heart of the Assyrian empire....

Baghdad has been preoccupied- and the US has already moved on Mosul with the Kurds

Iraqi security forces fired tear gas and gunshots in the air as hundreds of anti-government protesters stormed Baghdad's heavily secured Green Zone on Friday. Several demonstrators, mostly supporters of powerful Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, were wounded as the crowd rushed the prime minister's office and the parliament building.
