Colombe Bas intake (73)

Project owner EDF UP Alpes

Type of project Reconstruction and modification of the water intake

Main technical features

Systematic clogging during each snowmelt period made it necessary to modify the design of the intake.

Specific constraints

Difficult access to the site and the need to airlift all equipment; site secured due to falling rocks.

Some of the difficulties encountered were related to retaining the existing structure as a basis for reconstructing the new intake. The irregularity of the existing structure made formwork and alignment of the fixed components complex.
