  Final design of Belesar III and Los Peares III Hydropower Projects (Galicia, Spain)

  Belesar III and Los Peares III Hydropower Projects are reversible plants that require the construction of several underground excavations with different typologies. Belesar III Hydropower Project incorporates the construction of 2.100 m of principal conduction, a pressure shaft and two chambers in order to house the power and the transformer machinery. In addition, the project includes two gates shafts, a surge tunnel, a bus shaft to join the powerhouse with substation plant, an access tunnel and several construction tunnels. The underground works involved in Los Peares III are a 50 m length tunnel located at the intake area and a pressure tunnel of 440 m length. A 55 m depth shaft connects both tunnels. One more shaft will be constructed to contain the flow control gates. NATM was chosen to construct all the tunnels. Shafts have been designed as a raiseboring and enlarged up to final diameter using NATM.
