Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


The demolition of the San Martín or Bera Dam, 2.85 m high and 102.84 meters long, was carried out. It is the third obstacle in the Bidasoa River from the sea. The works begin on 08/29/2016 and conclude on 10/4/2016 The following actions were carried out during the works:

  • Access to the work, cofferdams and conditions. Clearing and clearing of vegetation
  • Demolition of the structures (weir and plant intake) and in situ valorization of the materials as fill.
  • Regularizing and conserving the gravels of the riverbed.
  • Repair of accesses and revegetation of the affected areas
