Baška dam – aeration of the spillway perimeter

We recently completed a project involving the complete delivery of an aeration system installed on the outer perimeter of the new spillway and powerhouse at the Baška dam near Frýdek-Místek.

The completely new facility was built here as part of a reconstruction project by OHLA ŽS, a.s.

The main purpose of this installation is to protect the walls of these structures from ice formation during the winter months. For this reason, the use of aeration and a blower unit was already considered in the project.

A secondary benefit of aeration in this case will be ensuring access for fish to the open water surface and, outside the winter months, welcome oxygenation of the water in the reservoir thanks to year-round cyclic operation.

Our delivery consisted of a ROOTs KUBÍČEK blower unit type 3D19B-050K, aeration elements of our own production, in a fixed version, and stainless steel piping, which was supplied in perfect quality by our long-term partner, Metal-Management, spol. s r.o.

The reservoir, which falls under the authority of Povodí Odry, s.p., is now gradually being filled, and once it reaches its full operating level, the entire system will be put into operation.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in this project!
