The Jebal Aulia Dam is a dam on the White Nile near Khartoum, Sudan. Its construction began 1933 and was completed in 1937. When completed it was the largest dam in the world.[1]
The dam was built by Gibson and Pauling (Foreign) Ltd, which was a partnership between the British civil engineering company Pauling & Co. and the civil engineer John Watson Gibson.[2]
In 2003 a hydroelectricity project with a 30-megawatt (40,000 hp) maximum capacity was completed on the dam. This increased the structure's strategic value, so it is now continually guarded by the Sudanese Army.[citation needed]
In November 2023 the Jebel Aulia Bridge, part of the Jebel Aulia Dam complex, was destroyed amid heavy fighting in Jabal Awliya. A Sudanese official said the dam itself remained intact.[3]
