Most hydro projects include a facility to allow water flow in excess of the turbine capacity to safely bypass the impounding structure and power station. For river schemes, a weir is typically used; for larger dams, a full spillway is required. Pre-cast concrete blocks can provide economical erosion protection for overflow sections of earth and rockfill dams and weirs. Wedge-shaped blocks, especially, can offer an efficient approach to providing needed protection. This article this option.
