Rehabilitation Of The ”Jonage Canal“, France, At The Hydroelectric Power Plant Of Cusset With Incomat®
Situation The Cusset hydro-electric scheme was brought into operation in 1899. Its turbines are driven by the waters of the Rhone emanating from the JONS dam and discharged downstream of the Croix Luizet bridge, just outside Lyon. This diversion follows through the 19 km long “Jonage Canal“ from the dam, situated at a height of 5,575 km. The CUSSET power station, at a distance of 15.8 km from the dam, is designed to handle a flow of 600 m
