This article describes the construction and operation of a facility to dissipate the energy of the discharge from a high-head hydroelectric power plant. The Sayano-Shushenskoe hydro facility uses a hydraulic pump on a concrete platform with a baffle wall in a stilling basis. In this discussion, considerable attention is given to the stability and reliability of the platform, which operates under severe operating conditions. The provisions of reliability of this platform require observance of the rules of operating outlets, of careful monitoring of the operation of the outlets, the use during operation of the outlets of pumping the seepage waters of the drainage in the zone of the basin, and finally, the placement of diffusion blocks which make it possible to reduce by more than half the extreme values of the characteristics of the action of the discharge on the platform.
