Project

Stilling basin in by-pass of ACL chanel

Client

Hidroeléctrica del Diuto, S.A

Year

2011

 

The hydroelectric power plant of Diuto begins at a point on the main channel of the “Asociación de Canalistas del Laja” (Irrigator Assciation), and restores its waters to the Diuto stream. In case of stoppage of the plant, the canal will transport the waters to another point of the Diuto stream, by-passing the plant.

At the point of restitution between the canal and the river, it is necessary to construct a stilling basin that avoids the undercutting of the natural riverbed.

The maximum flow is 22 m³/s and the level difference is 15 m, which involves dissipating an energy of approximately 3 MW.

TASK
Hydraulic project and supervision of the construction of a stilling basin for 22 m³/s and 15 m of unevenness.
