Irrigation network dependent on the Gibbesi dam (Province of Agrigento)


Design of the gripping work, consisting of a raft in c.a. (1 m thick) set on the sides of the basin to support 2 DN 900 steel pipes, converging into a complex of sedimentation tanks (Foundation 165 mc)

• Gibbesi lifting plant, consisting of a suction tank, a pump room (3 (2 + 1R), Qn = 240 l / s, Hn = 155m, Pn = 500KW) and a transformation room / square room: building in ca with dimensions in plan 15X15 mq for 7 m of height
– the foundations are of a direct type, consisting of inverted beams below the pillars (180 cubic meters);

• Steel gravity adduction pipeline (total development of ~ 20 km, DN 1000 – 350), serving 10 irrigation zones for a total of 5,550 ha topographic, and secondary pipelines in PEAD (DN = 630-110, L = ~ 26 km);

• 2 hydroelectric power plants able to exploit the excess load, with productivity estimates (both with max flow 390 l / s, one with a power of 410 kW and the other 200 kW and energy produced 580 KWh and 319 kWh);

• Design of 3 hydraulic disconnection tanks (~ 20.00 * 24.00 m – Foundations 0.70 m);

• Design of 2 compensation tanks (~ 20.00 * 24.00 m – Foundations 0.70 m);

• Electrical systems for regulation and management of products;

• Design of a remote control and remote control system able to detect the status of the controlled components, acquire the values ​​of the pressure flow measurement, etc., and receive and return the commands related to the operation of the motorized valves.
