Title:
METHOD FOR REPAIRING AN INTAKE FOR A STORAGE DAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/209067
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for repairing an intake for a storage dam, which comprises: constructing a cabin for controlling sediment, formed by modular rings that are 12 m in diameter and 3 m high, to allow the demolition of the old intake without draining the area; prefabricating elements for extending the new intake in situ by means of metallic formwork for setting the modular elements which are subsequently steam-cured and transferred to a final location by means of a barge and cranes. The final assembly is carried out using divers and cabin equipment, such as lighting, closed-circuit cameras, monitoring, emergency stairs, and an elevator or service elevator, ensuring a reduction in the time and cost of repairing an intake in storage dams.
