| Abstract | Department of Geology, University of Pretoria, Hatfield, Pretoria, 0028, bren.r.jones@gmail.com. ___________________________________________________________________________ High seepage values were recorded, post-construction, in a region of the foundation rock below a concrete gravity dam wall in South Africa. These seepage values were attributed to a prominent pegmatite vein running through the foundation rock. As such, this research aims to simulate flow through this feature with the use of numerical modelling methods based upon descriptors of the pegmatite vein obtained during joint line surveys of the foundation during the construction process. |
