Enel Green Power has recently contracted Studio Pietrangeli to work on the design of the rehabilitation of Pontecosi Dam, located in Tuscany, Italy.
Built about 100 years ago, Pontecosi is a concrete gravity dam which includes a gated spillway on the right blocks and bottom outlet gates on the middle blocks.
Studio Pietrangeli has been appointed to carry out the assessment of the current conditions, including stability and seismic studies, and the design of the rehabilitation works required to meet modern safety standards.
Works are expected to include grouting, installation of a drainage screen and instrumentation on the dam body and works on the appurtenant structures.
