Aposelemis Dam

One of the biggest projects in Greece is the construction of the Aposelemi Dam in the prefecture of Heraklion, Crete.

Work began in 2005 and was expected to be completed in mid-2015.

A total of three projects constitute the large dam project with general title " water supply of Heraklion and AG. NIKOLAOU FROM THE APOSELEMI DAM» :

   - Construction of dam Apselemi, with main object the construction of earth dam height 62 m., with its related works
   - Water diversion and transport operations and construction of pipelines and refineries
   - Apselemi dam reservoir reinforcement projects from the Lassithi Plateau

The reason that the specific site was chosen for the creation of the dam was, among other things, the weather conditions. The rich and heavy rainfall throughout the year made construction particularly difficult. Thanks to the modern Doka equipment and track equipment, we managed to successfully complete the project.

In parallel with the construction of the dam, the tunnels were lined about three kilometers long, which have received the pipeline that will carry the water from the dam to the refineries-pumping stations. The construction of the sedimentation and refining tanks was also challenging because of their difficulty and limited time, but they were crowned with success.
