As part of the construction of the new Inn joint power plant in the Swiss-Austrian border region, a new dam is being built. It consists of the weir, the headrace intake for the power plant located on the orographic right bank of the Inn, the fish ladder as well as the doping power plant. The doping power plant ensures a dynamised minimum water discharge into the Inn, which is currently subject to very high surge loads in the project area due to the operation of the upstream power plants. The buffering of the hydropeaking load and the seasonally staggered residual water release serves to achieve the goal of "good ecological potential" in the Inn.
The construction of the dam was characterised by the difficult spatial situation in the deeply incised valley of the Inn and the unfavourable geological boundary conditions.
