Project details
Overview
Spillway discharges had eroded sections of the left bank beside the tailrace channel, creating a risk of slope failure, channel blockage and increased water levels near the powerhouse.
EBS designed protection works to preserve safe powerhouse operation during flood releases and improve the future stability of the riverbank.
