Appendice - 1 - Care concittadine e cari concittadini Ci pregiamo trasmettervi il messaggio relativo alla concessione A e B tra il Comune di Poschiavo e Repo- wer AG in merito alla realizzazione del progetto «Lago Bianco». 1. Premessa e politica energetica cantonale La realizzazione del progetto «Lago Bianco» rappresenta per la Valle, e in modo particolare per il Comune di Poschiavo, una straordinaria occasione di sviluppo, basata sull’utilizzo di un’importante risorsa naturale come l’acqua. Anche dal punto di vista del Cantone, essendo Repower l’unica società grigionese attiva su tutta la filiera del mercato energetico, l’iniziativa assume una valenza strategica. In questo senso è dunque pienamente soddisfacente quanto il Governo scrive nel rapporto esplicativo sulla revisione parziale della Legge sui dirit- ti d’acqua del Cantone dei Grigioni (LGDA) sotto “Politica Futura”; in essa, si cita testualmente, “si mira a fare in modo che siano le società insediate nel Cantone a generare la cifra d’affari per l’approvvigionamento e in particolare per il commercio.

  • Bernina Express
    Bernina Express https://www.irtsociety.com/train/bernina-express/ Overview The spectacular Bernina line was completed in 1910 and is run by Rhaetian Railways. Beginning in Chur, St. Moritz or Davos, it passes the glaciers of Piz Bernina, making this the highest railway crossing in all of the Alps. It travels over 38 miles, climbing grades of up to 7%––without rack and pinion––to more than 7,391 feet at the Bernina Pass summit, and drops down to just 1,408 feet at Tirano, Italy. One minute, it seems, you’re above the tree line in a frozen wasteland; the next, you’re zooming to a landing, like in an airplane, into a subtropical Italian paradise. The combination of remarkable scenery and engineering prompted the World Heritage The Society of International Railway Travelers | irtsociety.com | (800) 478-4881 Page 1/2 Committee on July 7, 2008 to add this line (and its sister line, Albula) to the UNESCO World Heritage list. This makes the Rhaetian Railway one of four railways worldwide to be considered “universally outstanding” by UNESCO. (The other three are the “toy trains” of India: Darjeeling, Shimla and Nilgiri.) Accommodations Bernina Express trains have spacious first- and second-class Panorama cars. All seats require reservations. You won’t be sitting long, however. The train passes over viaducts as high as 295 feet, twists through the Albula Valley, up past rock formations and glaciers, then plunges into Italy on a famous corkscrew viaduct. This is a daytime-only train; there are no overnight accommodations on board. Dining A roving snack trolley has tea, coffee, snacks, and souvenirs for sale.

  • Il Progetto «Lago Bianco»
    Poschiavo, 14 giugno 2010 Il progetto «Lago Bianco» Riepilogo e storia Repower sta lavorando alla realizzazione nell’Alta Valposchiavo (Grigioni, CH) di una centrale ad accumulazione da 1000 MW con sistema di pompaggio. Per questo progetto si prevede un collegamento diretto delle acque di Lago Bianco sul Passo del Bernina (ca. 2230 m slm) e Lago di Poschiavo (ca. 960 m slm) per sfruttare la pendenza tra i due laghi. Sul lato destro della Valle è prevista la realizzazione di una galleria di derivazione in pressione e di una condotta forzata sotterranee, mentre la centrale idroelettrica sarà situata a Camp Martin sul Lago di Poschiavo. Complessivamente nel progetto, che dovrà essere ultimato entro il 2018, saranno investiti circa 1,5 miliardi di Franchi svizzeri (quindi ca. 1,1 miliardi di Euro). L’iniziativa della centrale di Lago Bianco è volta a sostituire il precedente Progetto di concessione 95, che era stato contestato per motivi ambientalisti. Alla fine del 2008 Repower e le organizzazioni ambientaliste hanno deciso di trovare un’alternativa per porre fine alla controversia giuridica pendente. Questa variante è stata trovata con il progetto Lago Bianco, in conseguenza del quale le organizzazioni ambientaliste hanno ritirato i loro ricorsi presentati al Tribunale federale. Per contro Repower ha rinunciato al Progetto di concessione 95. Da allora il progetto Lago Bianco è stato elaborato e studiato in un unico gruppo di lavoro insieme ai rappresentanti di organizzazioni mondiali, pescatori ed autorità cantonali e comunali. Il progetto di concessione è stato ultimato a metà giugno 2010. I partner hanno preparato una relazione tecnica, che hanno sottoscritto il 14 giugno 2010.

  • Distributed Fiber Optics Monitoring of the Lago Bianco Dam in Switzerland
    Distributed Fiber Optics Monitoring of the Lago Bianco Dam in Switzerland Tiziano CRAMERI 1, Alessio HÖTTGES 2, Carlo RABAIOTTI 2 1 Repower, Poschiavo, Switzerland 2 HSR, Rapperswil, Switzerland Contact e-mail: [email protected] The Lago Bianco dam is a concrete gravity wall, which was built in 1911. The height of the dam was increased from 12 m to 16 m in 1942. Several conventional sensors accurately monitor the dam, including extensometers, piezometers, thermocouples, joint meters, GPS and geodetic instruments. Although the already existing sensors are adequate for monitoring the dam, an additional distributed fiber optics monitoring sensor system (DFOS) has been installed: The main goal was to verify the measurements of the conventional sensors, in particular strain, temperature and concrete crack development but with significantly higher spatial resolution. The DFOS were installed in a two dimensional grid on the downstream side of the dam and it was interrogated for more than four months on different time intervals. The DFOS enabled accurate and precise distributed measurements of the variation of temperature and strain of the dam surface. The collected data are in good agreement with the local measurements of the conventional sensors. Additionally, the DFOS allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the dam mechanical behaviour.

The economic and social repercussions of collapses or failures of structures go far beyond the investment to implement adequate monitoring systems.
