Project description
Since its commissioning in 1971, the structure (36.6 m spillway – 7 m drop height) has suffered numerous damages and has undergone multiple reinforcement works. Despite these costly works, carried out under particularly difficult conditions, the dam and the counter-dam were in a severely degraded state.
Following a comprehensive diagnosis by SCP demonstrating that the profile of the thresholds was not adapted to the hydraulic conditions of the river, SAPHIR launched a comprehensive renovation and reinforcement program for the structure for an amount of €10 million.
Services provided by SCP:
The SCP/SECMO consortium is responsible for the complete project management of all these works:
- Modification of the hydraulic profile,
- Reinforcement of the flow surface,
- Reinforcement of retaining walls and protection of foundations,
- Relocation and modification of the fish pass,
- Installation of flow measurement devices, bird deterrent devices, and improvement of the sub-river intake drain upstream of the main dam.
