Key Result Areas
1. Work closely with the relevant Government agencies to ensure compliance to all dam
safety requirements and where national standards are not adequate, adopt and
implement approved best dam safety practices.
2. Ensure that all dam safety records are clearly identified, created and properly managed.
The records should include all available dam safety reports, record of
recommendations from the reports, summary report of all important data, source of
data and geotechnical parameters.
3. Initiate, Plan, prioritize and manage all maintenance and repairs related to dams and
any other civil structure.
4. Ensure that flow control equipment is regularly maintained, inspected, tested and
available for controlled release of flow downstream
5. Ensure that adequate stock of spares for flow control equipment
6. Ensure that all monitoring and surveillance activities for both Nalubaale and Kiira dams
are planned, executed and documented.
7. Perform first level analysis of all instrumentation date for both Nalubaale and Kiira
dams
8. Initiate, Plan and schedule periodic dam safety reviews for both Nalubaale and Kiira
dams
9. Update and maintain a data base of dam safety related incidents.
10. Ensure implementation of the Emergency Preparedness Plan, including regular reviews,
updating, testing and familiarization of related emergency plans from other
stakeholders who might be affected by Hydropower power dam Operations
11. Compile and update monthly reports on dam safety and maintenance of civil
structures.
12. Develop, update and maintain a dam safety risk register.
13. Develop and ensure the implementation of effective maintenance strategies for all other civil structure like, powerhouses and administration buildings.
14. Review, analyse and recommend to your supervisor/management collations,
summaries and presentations of data collected from dam safety field instrumentation
analysis in the area of but not limited to stability, seepage, movement (sliding, rotation,
tilting etc), settlement, structural strength, response to change in seasonal changes and
resilience to other natural or manmade phenomena of all hydraulic structures.
15. Participate in inspection of General safety inspections conducted by other relevant
authorities as may be established by statutory bodies and/or experts hired by UEGCL
16. Develop and implement proper storage, calibration and Management of all
instrumentation used for monitoring readings,
17. Develop and implement corrective measures for identified defects during inspections
