Construction of the Water Tank

Seceda: a new underground reservoir to guarantee quality snow without impacting the landscape.

To ensure high-quality snow and guarantee a longer, more reliable ski season, a new fully underground water tank is currently being built on the Seceda. . ..
The project has been designed with particular attention to environmental protection: once completed, the tank will be invisiblebecause it will be covered by soil and vegetation, without altering the natural landscape in the area.

The challenges of building at high altitude

Working in the high mountains involves major logistical challenges.
All necessary materials - from concrete to equipment - must be transported along steep and challenging roadswith precise delivery times and tight operating periods.
For this project, a large construction companywith the necessary experience and resources has been commissioned to cope with the difficult conditions on the construction site. The aim is to complete the work by autumn, before the first snowfall.

A project that respects the landscape

The environmental protection has been a priority since the design phase.
The entire tank will be completely underground.After completion, the surface will be renaturalised with soil and vegetation, making the intervention invisible to visitors and perfectly integrated into the Alpine landscape.

A concrete response to climate change

With cold temperatures increasingly concentrated in short periods, it is crucial to be able to produce snow in a short timeframe.
The new reservoir will make it possible to supply the snow-making system efficiently, offering well prepared slopes from the beginning of the seasonin line with the expectations of skiers and the quality standards of the Dolomites.
