[Objective] The risk of soil and water loss and such secondary disasters that may exist in the construction of pumped storage power stations was evaluated to screen and analyze the characteristics of the elements involved in order to provide scientific support for improving green and safe construction during the project construction period. [Methods] The analytic hierarchy process method was used combined with the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to select eight primary indicators and thirty-four secondary indicators from three dimensions for analysis and assessment. [Results] A risk assessment model of soil and water loss and its secondary disasters during the construction period for a pumped storage power station was constructed, and the risk was divided into five levels. The model was applied to the Jixi pumped storage power station in Anhui Province. The risk level of soil and water loss and its secondary disasters during the construction period for this pumped storage power station was level three, which belongs to the general safety level. The feasibility of the model was verified by comparing results with actual measurements during the construction period. [Conclusion] Site selection for pumped storage power stations could largely determine the risk level of soil and water loss and secondary disasters during the project construction period. Projects with risk level of grade three as evaluated by using method in this study could benefit from improved supervision frequency on the basis of learning from relevant soil and water conservation supervision and risk prevention and control measures. Such actions could avoid soil and water loss occurring from slope sliding and slag sliding as far as possible, and allow for the taking of preventive measures to completely eliminate the occurrence of soil and water loss and related secondary disasters.
