The Luzières dam, located in the territory of the communes of Vabre and Lacrouzette in the Tarn department, will undergo reliability and compliance work. The project is led by EDF, the concessionaire for the Carla hydroelectric development.
The planned works include the creation of a spillway crest, the construction of a protection channel, a spillway and a retaining wall. The structure will also be reinforced by the installation of prestressed geotechnical anchors and specific treatments on the access shaft walls to the control galleries. The project also includes the replacement of the Gijou metal supply pipe, the intake screen, and the entire control-command system.
These operations will be carried out in campaigns between 2027 and 2029. An execution file has been submitted to the DREAL and is under review. Following this phase, a prefectural decree will be signed to oversee this work.
The execution file is open for public participation from October 23 to November 7 inclusive. The opinions expressed will be examined during the drafting of the prefectural decree authorizing the works.
