Star of works at the Târgu Cărbunești passage
If at the beginning of the year we announced the reception by APM Gorj of the technical design, on April 9, 2021 the works for the fish passage from Târgu Cărbunești started. The existing overflow threshold formed an artificial waterfall that the fish could not cross in their attempt to reach the upstream. In order to allow the passage of fish, it was decided to build a passage of the "ladder with vertical slots" type that includes 22 pools, properly sized for the migration of target species. In order to help the fish species to cross the area at very high flows also, on the right bank one shall setup a ramp made of rocks embedded in the concrete. The ramp will have a length of 15 m and a maximum width of 5 m.
Works on Albeni passage
If in May we had informed you about completing the technical project in Albeni, behold that on September 14, works for the passage located in the vicinity of the bridge on DJ675B started. In a first stage, the contractor´s team started diverting Gilort River towards the left bank. Then, boulders and ballast were brought (which were compacted with the compactor cylinder) and the bed was reconfigured to ensure a 3% slope along the entire length of the passage and the hidden threshold was poured downstream of the passage. Slopes will also be created from the banks towards the center of the riverbed, so that the main flow of water is directed towards the center.
