An improvement to be reached by sealing the rock massif by the grout curtain constructed out of the new grouting tunnel. The grouting tunnel and a grout curtain were constructed in the middle part of the dam and extended the existing grouting tunnel and curtain in the right side of the dam finished in 2010. The total length of the grouting tunnel is 80 metres. It is of 1.8 meters wide and 2.5 meters high. The grout curtain reaches a depth of 36 meters.
