A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Engineering considerations, design criteria, and construction data for a high-head hydroelectric project located in granite are presented. Of special interest is the powerhouse, constructed underground for economic reasons. Major features in addition to the underground plant are (a) a rockfill dam, (b) an underground free-discharge valve, (c) an underground power-tunnel intake valve, (d) an unlined pressure tunnel, (e) a storage sand trap, (f) a surge chamber, (g) two impulse turbines, and (h) a high-head penstock.
