Warehouse view to Enguri Dam – Multi-Sensor-Network
Welcome!
The DAMAST and DAMAST-Transfer projects have been part of the
"CLIENT II – International Partnership for Sustainable Innovations"
funding programme of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the framework programme
"Research for Sustainable Development (FONA³)"
BMBF-Project 03G0882A – DAMAST and DAMAST-Transfer
DAMAST-Transfer in Brief
DAMAST-Transfer aimed to investigate the processes of induced seismicity during the construction and operation of dams, to test and further develop suitable monitoring of relevant parameters and to transfer the results into practice. It was based on the previous project DAMAST.

The countdown is on!
This year's Summer School will take place from September 22 to 28, 2025, in Tbilisi, Georgia. This time, the theme will be: "Geotechnical engineering and Monitoring for Sustainable and Resilient Critical Infrastructure".
Conference Goals
The conference will focus on recent cutting edge geoscientific and technical works undertaken in the western Caucasus within the DAMAST and DAMAST-Transfer projects (2019-2024) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF. Hydropower as renewable energy technology faces numerous challenges with respect to scientific process understanding, technical but also environmental topics.

started on March 11 at the beautiful location of Georgian Technical University with welcome addresses. We especially thank the GTU and Engurhesi for the perfect organization of this workshop…. And of course special thanks to Professor Kalabegishvili of GTU. Lecturer and engineer Bernd Aberle provides the background for grouting with a lot of practical aspects and exercises.
