A sensitive structure on rocks of the Tygerberg formation: Koeberg nuclear power station
Creators
Description
Koeberg Nuclear Power Station is located on the beach at Duynefontein near Melkbosstrand, some 25 km from Cape Town. Investigations of the bedrock underlying the beach sands were undertaken at various stages in order (1) to assess the feasibility of constructing intake tunnels to bring cooling water from the offshore intake towers, (2) to assess the potential for surface movement at the site due to faulting following the historical records of seismic events in the region, and (3) to provide data on the dynamic response characteristics of the near-surface bedrock for use in the seismic response analysis for the power station
