Project description:
Pioneering technology was needed to undertake this unique structural design of a reservoir with a capacity of 600,000 cubic meters of water.
The Aluminium roof cover measuring 45,000 m2 consists of two rows of inclined columns of 40m height with precast prestressed segmental beams spanning 150m located between each of the four columns, and suspended by prestressed cables from the top of the adjacent columns, to form the conical profile bearing the aluminium cover cladding.
