Project description

Scope:

Study for the design of the dam, in order to ensure water availability for the operational purposes of the Porto-Carras resort complex.

Description:

The project includes the dam, spillway and energy dissipation, water intakes and road access.
The dam and reservoir lies within the private Porto-Carras areas. The main structures are:

  • a lean RCC dam with a height of 32m and volume ~40.000 m3
  • a spillway with capacity 330m3/s
  • a 4 level water intake structure

The reservoir has total capacity ~1.000.000m3
