The hydroelectric power plant is located in No. 17, via Giusti, – Municipality of Campolongo sul Brenta (VI)
The intake structure of the power plant is located at the “Grotte di Oliero”, where the water is derived from the gushing out of these caves.
A control system combined with a series of automatic sluice gates keeps the water level constant in the basin.
The derived water is fed into a masonry channel, in part in the tunnel and in part in the open air about 2,000 m. long, which reaches the power plant hugging along the Municipal road on the right orographic bank of the Brenta River.
In the power plant the production of electric energy takes place by means of 2 Francis turbines; the swirled water is returned to the Brenta River through a short artificial canal.
The produced electricity is fed into the local 15 kV distribution network directly on site.

The hydraulic power plant is located in No. 50, via dei Tappi, – Municipality of Silea (TV)
The power plant is constructed directly on the Sile River and exploits a jump of 3.8 meters without resorting to forced conduits.
At the side of the power plan and the embankment, on the left bank of the river, there is a navigation basin that allows small boats to go downstream or upstream the river; on the right orographic side of the power plant there are automatic sluice gates to lighten the hydraulic charge.
The power plant returns immediately the swirled water to the Sile River.
Downstream of the power plant there is an upstream ladder for the ichtyofauna specific for eels and lampreys.
The produced electricity is fed into the local 15 kV distribution network directly on site.

The hydraulic power plant is located in No. 2, via Alzaia, in the central area of the city of Treviso.
The power plant is constructed directly on the Sile River and exploits a jump of 2.4 meters without resorting to forced conduits and returns immediately downstream the swirled water.
The embankment is equipped with an automatic sluice gate for river level regulation.
Adjacent to the power plant there is the upstream ladder for the ichtyofauna.
The produced electricity is fed into the local 15 kV distribution network directly on site.
Magnanins Hydroelectric Power Plant – Rigolato (UD)
Magnanins Hydroelectric Power Plant – Rigolato (UD)
Concession data:
Average flow rate, m3: 1,91 mc/s
Jump: 158,8 m
Average power, P: 2.974 KW
Main equipment:
No. 2 horizontal axis Francis turbines
The hydraulic power plant is located in Magnanins – Municipality of Rigolato (UD). The power plant uses the water of the Degano stream derived from the fixed-threshold embankment in the Ponte Coperto location, on the orographic right-hand side, and through a reinforced concrete channel of about 2,000 m. in length, in part in tunnels and in part in open-air, it reaches the charge basin; from here, through a forced conduit, part in reinforced concrete and part in steel diameter 1,200 mm., and length of about 550 m., it reaches the turbines.
The power plant building, containing the electromechanical machinery for the production of electricity, is located on the right bank of the Degano stream where it discharges the swirled water through a short channel.
The produced energy is fed into the network at the common delivery point of Ovaro (UD) through an aerial line of about 13 km long.
San Antonio Hydroelectric Power Plant – Tarvisio (UD)
San Antonio Hydroelectric Power Plant – Tarvisio (UD)
Concession data:
Average flow rate, m3: 1,76 mc/s
Jump: 43,38 m
Average power, P: 749 KW
Main equipment:
No. 2 Francis type turbines
The hydraulic power plant is located in San Antonio – Municipality of Tarvisio (UD)
The power plant derives the water at the confluence of the Rio Lago and the Rio Bianco through a fixed threshold embankment equipped with a sand collector sluice gate and upstream ladder for the ichtyofauna.
From here starts the underground channel, about 1,100 m. long, from which starts the forced conduit, constructed in the initial stretch in reinforced concrete and in the final stretch in steel, for a total length of about 900 m.
The swirled water is discharged through a short covered channel into the Rio Bianco stream.
The power plant building houses the two Francis groups and the delivery cabin of the produced electricity to the local distribution network in Medium Voltage.
Defining an advanced knowledge database from digital twin models is the critical element enabling multidimensional scenarios and more efficient collaborative procedures among the different actors of the supply chain. Drones, BIM, and virtual and augmented reality technologies open new horizons of information accessibility to meet dynamic needs. This transition results from a multidisciplinary participatory process involving internal and external resources (Politecnico di Torino, I.S.I.R.E.S., Studio74). The standardized and systematic approach adopted allows the replicability of the management model for all power plants and its enrichment over time through integrating connected objects and computational systems for control and monitoring activities more and more performing.
The innovative use of BIM for this sector, the high quality of the data collected, and the mutidisciplinary approach were awarded the special recognition of Clust-ER BUILD, which rewards companies that contribute to the digital transformation of the construction sector.
