The hydropower plant basically includes a 49.00 m high concrete-faced rockfill dam (CFRD),1.40 million metercube of rock filling impounding a reservoir with a total capacity of 350 Mm³ (net volume 215 Mm³ ). The upstream face of the dam is covered with cast-in-place concrete slabs, 30 cm thick. Flood discharges are evacuated downstream of the dam through a gated spillway (4 gates) (weir crest at El. 96.00 masl) combined with an ungated auxiliary lateral spillway (weir crest at El. 110.00 masl).The main spillway has a capacity of 5’090 m³/s and is controlled by four 12 m wide and 14 m high segment gates.
