Engineering protection against flooding and ground-water inundation at the memorial town of Shushensk

Conclusions

• 1. Design and research work carried out by Lengidroproekt and Giprogor have provided a system of engineering measures for the protection of the territory, meeting the specific requirements of a small town with a large number of preserved and restored buildings.

• 2. Some of the early structures employed (gates, conduits) can be recommended for further study for the purpose of using them in the engineering protection of territories under similar conditions.

• 3. In order to obtain more precise parameters and operating conditions of the engineering protection installations under the planned conditions, gaging station readings, river bed and ice and temperature investigations should be continued in the lower pool of the Sayan-Shushensk hydroelectric station.
