This undertaking has a concrete arch dam with 110m high, founded in granite formations. The power station is totally underground with a power installed capacity of 630MW and a mean annual energy output of 948GW. The underground complex is at a depth of 340m and it comprised a power station and two chambers, an extensive hydraulic circuit with two independent high pressure circuits and a low pressure circuit of about 5km, as well as a surge chamber of large dimensions. Prof. Sousa established an observation plan for the underground activities and developed an extensive rock mechanics program testing involving in situ state of stress evaluations, large deformability tests, evaluation of joint sets, and laboratory tests. He also observed underground structures during construction, test phases and exploration, conducting regular inspections, calculations and analysis of monitoring results.

· Cahora-Bassa Hydroelectric Scheme, Mozambique : The Cahora Bassa dam is one of the largest hydroelectric schemes in Africa. It includes an arch dam about 200m high and a reservoir with a maximum length of 292km and a maximum width of 38km, and an area of 2,739km2. The installed capacity is 2,400MW. The system includes two converter stations, one at Songo in Mozambique and the other at Apollo in South   Africa . There are two parallel lines between these two stations, covering 1,400km, of which 900 km is in Mozambican territory. The large power station is totally underground and has two surge chambers and a hydraulic circuit. After the civil war, one of the many effects of the unrest was the damage to the HVDC transmission lines and the monitoring system at the dam and underground works. After the war, Prof. Sousa participated in the establishing an observation plan for the underground structures and downstream slopes; inspection visits to the underground complex and dam, which included the measurement of convergences using a new device developed at LNEC and introduced software storage of all monitoring information related to the underground structures and downstream slopes; inspection of downstream slopes using TV cameras; laboratory testing on boring samples and applying empirical systems for rock mass classification; and developing technical reports.
