Project description
The VEAG has built the water pumping and power generation facility „Goldisthal“ with the power of 1.060 mega watts near the borough of Goldisthal in the eastern Thuringian forest. The facility is used for industrial energy storage and the short-term provision of electrical energy. It is one of the biggest facilities in Europe. For the erection of this facility it was necessary to quarry out caverns of 137 and 122 m as well as galleries up to 10m diameters from the rock mass.

Object features
Duration: 1997 - 2003
Upper basin (volume): 18.9 Mio. m³, lower basin (volume): 301.65 m,
Nominal head: 137.60 m / 26.10 m / 49.48 m,
Machine cavern (length/width/height): 122.40 m / 15.30 m / 17.35 m,
Transformer cavern (length/width/height): number of 2 with length of ca. 820 m and Ø 6.20 m,
Upper water gallery: number of 2 with length of ca. 275 m and Ø 8.20 m,
Lower water gallery: 4 set of machines with 265 MW each,
Power: 12 Mio. m³

Benefits for the client
As a result of the preparation of the claim for the extension of the construction period and the following additional costs it was established that VEAG was only partially responsible. Therefore the extension of construction period not only resulted from the modifications made by VEAG and the following breakdowns. The claims for additional charge by ARGE could therefore be reduced remarkably. The new determined completion date was kept.
