The adduction system includes the creation of an over 4km-long natural tunnel; a first section of the pipeline measuring 290m in length (hanging pipeline resting on suitable stacks) and a second section in GRP (underground) which extends for about 710m, ending in the partition structure.
Starting from this partition, are the three adductors that feed the three basins: B1, 4.20 km long (GRP DN 800); B2, 0.144 km long (GRP DN 600); and B3, 7.20 km long (GRP DN 900).
The tanks, detailed in the V1/V2/V3 project, have a capacity of 15.000, 12.000 and 20.000 m³ respectively. Two lifting systems, with a capacity of 900 l/s and 1,600 l/s respectively, service the V2/V3 tanks. From the three basins will start the distribution network of the 1st level made with GRP pipes for a total of 27 km, which will feed 17 outlets.
The second and third level distribution network, made out of PEAD (polyethylene), branch off from the outlets, for a total length of about 352 km, serving end-users who will be able to irrigate their fields thanks to the installation of 2,197 output groups (nozzles). The entire system is managed by the Casa di Guardia, a peripheral-based station with remote control and CCTV capabilities over the entire grid.
