The works included in the La Concepción Dam Disaster Prevention and Management project aims to improve the instrumentation and automation of the dam’s auscultation equipment, implement the dam’s emergency plan and integrate these systems into the DHCMA’s Basin Control Centre.

The technological framework of this project includes improving the dam disaster prevention system and implementing a dam disaster management system. To this end, Sando is installing new monitoring systems and automating the existing ones, as well as the infrastructures, installations, and equipment necessary for implementing the emergency plan for the dam. As well as integrating the management system into the General System of the DHCMA through the configuration and export of data from the Disaster Prevention and Management systems of the La Concepción Dam to the General System of the DHCMA.

Other actions being carried out include the renovation of the dam’s drainage network, the adaptation of the access road and the taking of samples. A geotechnical investigation campaign will also be carried out, as well as the replacement of the protective breakwater downstream and the adaptation of the dam’s low-voltage electrical installations to the current Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulations.
