Description for Maccheronis Dam (Italy)

Reservoir capacity augmentation through the heightening of an existing concrete gravity dam and through a new spillway on the left abutment.

Main Features

  • Reservoir ( A = 615 km², V_existent tot = 25 Mm³, V_final tot = 35 Mm³ )
  • Dam ( H_existent = 46 m, H_final = 47 m, L_final = 435 m, V_cls final = 96'000 m³ )
  • Spillway existent ( L = 198 m, Q_max = 2'643 m³/s )
  • Spillway final on the left abutment ( L = 210 m, Q_max = 3'000 m³/s, No. 3 Sector Gates HxW = 12x3 m, N°3 Flap Gates HxW = 12x0.5 m )
  • Outlet Tunnel ( L = 199 m, D = 3.5 m, Q_max = 65 m³/s, No. 2 Gates HxW = 1.60x2.00 m )
  • Inlet Tunnel ( L = 432 m, D = 2 m )
